6 Months Old: OshawaBabyPhotographer_PetraKing
I have had the utmost pleasure of photographing Baby Ramona since she was a Newborn. She was one of my last newborns in studio before I retired from newborn photography. So to have had the honour of not only watching, but also documenting her growth this past year has been pretty incredible.
Lockdown was hard. Hard on our families, stress for months and then there was missing out on milestones of our PKP family too. When we had the all clear, we took our session outdoors. I can’t tell you how good it was to get back to shooting (masked and social distanced of course)
Mama reached out to have some 6 month photos of her earlier this summer and so we took her outside to do a vintage themed session that we both fell in love with.
Check out some of our session below.
Her moody, expression here just drew me in. The curiosity and innocence of babies at this age never fails. I love photographing them just being themselves. Often times these are the “million dollar shots” that mom and dad adore most.
I am a sucker for baby feet. Ramona had her little toes hanging out of the crib and dangling as she took in the hot summer morning and all the surroundings. Perfect photo op for me :)
Goodness I love this smile…
And of course the bluest of blues for her eyes…
Till next time Ramona!

Quarentine and a sweet one year old!
Hello everyone!
First of all how are you doing? How are you coping with Quarantine and lockdown? I hope you’ve been staying healthy during these uncertain and tough times? It’s been a weird time for us hasn’t it? However, keep positive and healthy. We have so much to be thankful for.
I just sent out a newsletter yesterday and expressed how much I miss you all and working. I do hope that we will be back to a new normal fairly soon!
I decided to take some time off from blogging over the lockdown as the family took over. Like all of you we were inside staying safe. Which left little creativity and time to yourself to focus lol ;) However, it feels awesome to be back and I am optimistic we will be back fairly soon.
This next blog post is a little overdue from last year but we have been getting caught up with our sessions. So a HUGE thanks for mom and dad for their patience!
Meet Mila. This sweetpea came in with mom and dad to celebrate her 1st birthday! Her expressions and innocence melted our hearts.
In celebration of her First Birthday mom and dad went with a cake smash package that was a lot of fun. Below are some of the moments we documented and giggled about the whole time.
This beautiful shoot was made possible with our amazing local businesses that we partner with. The sweetest custom homemade cake from the amazing Danielle Petrik Sweetery. The florals in this shoot was care of the wonderful Aspen Florist.
Thank you mom and dad from bringing in Mila. We have loved watching her grow and can’t wait to see you again in the near future!
At this point we are still uncertain what date we are allowed to resume business in the studio but until then,I would like to wish you all a safe next few weeks. Stay safe, stay healthy and we look forward to the milestones we will celebrate in the near future.
If you have not already signed up for the newsletter but would like to receive it, please feel free to click HERE.
Miss you much!

This sweet curly haired beaut has just been promoted to Big Sis! I have had the pleasure of watching her grow for the last 2 years. She, along with her sweet parents brought in her little baby brother for his milestone portrait recently and did we ever have an amazing session.
For those of you who have yet to experience what an event, newborn, baby & or maternity session is like in and out of studio I’d like to share with you a little about how things flow. PKP takes great pride in making you feel your best and excited to capture your most precious moments for you. You know..the ones that just HAVE to be documented professionally. The moments that matter to YOU and coincidentally to me too!
Meet Immaneul. He was 12 days new when we did his newborn portraits. Big sister, as you can tell is smitten with him.
As with any session, our goal is to make sure that you are comfortable, excited and well informed. When all these three details come together everything else flows naturally. When working with me you’ll know that I am relatively soft spoken. Gentle guidance is given but most of these amazing memorable moments come from you. I just love having the honour to document them for you. So come with an open mind, a calm heart and place your trust in me…knowing that I have something beautiful in store for you!

Thank you buddy, for gracing the studio with your calm, happy, serene nature and for allowing me to document this for your family heirloom albums. I can’t wait to watch you grow and welcome you back in for your upcoming milestone sessions. Mom, Dad and big sister S…enjoy him while he’s this little.
Tender moments, baby led, and perfect. Moments like these you will hold dear to your heart for a lifetime.
I can’t wait to create and see your beauty unfold through my lens.
Till next time Immaneul. Stay sweet and innocent.

It's a Boy for Durham Balloons:Petra King Photography
Last month we had the pleasure of meeting the latest addition to Durham Balloons tribe. Congratulations to you Deverae and Clayton on your sweet SWEET little baby boy! We had so much fun photographing him.
World…meet Nathaniel.
I am always excited to meet my littlest clients for the first time. It’s one of the many perks I have doing the job I do. Meeting new people. Creating memories, documenting moments and building relationships. What an honour to be able to do this for my clients. Especially right from the start.
These tiny humans have a built in radar that they are totally aware of their surroundings when they are not home. And it’s pretty amazing to witness. Most parents are unaware and just think that it’s their child fighting sleep or being stubborn lol.
But I know otherwise lol. They take in everything. Listening to me as I talk to them. To comfort them and to hopefully capture their personality for mom and dad as best I can in the time frame we have together. This little guy although small…is mighty and bound for some pretty amazing things.
His proud big sister was right there too to help me and to get a few images of her own in there as well. Congrats mom and dad, big brothers and sisters…he is adorable and I can’t wait to watch him grow. Enjoy!

Over this past year I have had the pleasure of working with so many amazing moms, friends, new customers and brides from Aspen Florist. It never ceases to amaze me how much I love working with my clients and being able to journey with them as they grow their little families.
Meet Isla, she just turned ONE. This sweet little pudding I have had the utmost pleasure of watching and documenting her as she has grown in her short life already. Thank you Amy for allowing and trusting us tp do so for you. I am sure you recognize her from our posts on Instagram and know that she is not a stranger to our feeds. I mean how could we not post and share. Just look at that face!
For Isla’s First Birthday we celebrated her session with some gorgeous peonies, greenery and soft pastel tones which were STUNNING. I don’t know how Lisa from Aspen Florist does it but she nails the colours and floral combo’s with our sweet littles every single time. I swear she has ESP lol. Here is a sampling of what we captured that day!
Happy 1st Birthday Isla! Thank you for coming into the studio for us to document this milestone for mommy and daddy and your big brother! You are so loved! Till next time!
Much love,
Petra
