A Floral maternity photography session is something that is like no other….
The blessing of Motherhood_Oshawa_Whitby_Maternity_Photographer_Petra_King_Photography
The blessing of Motherhood is something that not all of us get to experience. But that all of us deserve. Some may not wish to be a mother when others are wishing so hard to be one. It may be a touchy subject for some of you but trust me when we say that this post comes with nothing more than love and happiness for each and every one of you.
We welcomed this beautiful excited mom to be into the studio recently. Holy smokes guys…we are so very lucky to work with such amazing beautiful moms to be lately. Not to mention our mamas don’t even realize half the time that they nail their looks and interaction with the camera 100%. I hear so often…I don’t like having my picture taken, or I feel so awkward.
Well mama…I am here to help you. This is part of my job, your experience while in studio is so important to me that I make a point to really get to know you before, during and after our shoot. Tell me what your concerns are, what you love, dislike, wants and hopes are when it comes to your maternity session. Why?…Because I truly believe that the connection and relationships we build in life are ones that should come from the heart. So no matter how we met or what you are doing now means a lot to me to be welcomed into “your” family and life. I really cherish the friendships I have been blessed to have made so far on this journey together.
See you soon Jennifer. We can’t wait to meet the newest member of your family.

It wasn’t that long ago that this sweet mama came in for her maternity session with her second baby bump. Remember her session HERE?
Well we welcomed her newest addition not too long ago and oh my goodness just wait till you see her.
Meet Brooke….
I can’t express how much I love seeing my repeat families grow! You guys are too cute! Congratulations to you and yes you are doing an amazing job! Mama to mama I get it! I know what you are going through and remember the hard days. Heck…I have 2 teenagers who am I kidding…it’s still hard some days LOL. But that said, the GOOD days far out weigh the crappy ones.
Thank you I & D for bringing your sweet girls in for their milestones and for allowing me to capture these moments for you and your family! I can’t wait to see them grow!

Do you ever come across a mom to be and think to yourself…OMG she is just gorgeous and has natural beauty? Do you say to yourself, I would LOVE to photograph her? And before you know it you are babbling like a fool? NO? Ugh just me then lol.
That is typically the way it goes for me when I am out in public. I introduce myself and share what I do. I get so excited I end up giggling and before you know it the mom to be is in stitches and blushing over the compliments from this crazy lady in front of her lol.
This next mom to be I have been connecting with for the better part of a year now and knew that when she announced that she was expecting her 3rd I could not wait to photograph her. She exhumes this regal, calm and confidant mama that we all wish we could pull off as well as she does. Don’t get me wrong, she is stern and takes control with her littles when needed but her aura is captivating.
Meet Sahiya! She is one of our communities local Bloggers, Brand Repper and busy mom of 2. She came into the studio a few months ago for me to capture her last baby belly. You can follow her along on Instagram over at: @allthatshedreamed with her adventures as a mom, wife and supporting all things local!
Clean, simple and elegant transitions was the vision for her session. She was totally comfortable here and with subtle moves to guide her from one frame to another her shoot was flawless. We chatted, laughed, reflected and dreamed together during these fleeting moments in time. Thank you Sahiya for joining us in studio to capture this milestone in your life for you and your family to treasure. We can’t wait to see you back in the near future!
Sidenote…mamas I hear you.. You have shared with me some hard things. Some sad things and some growing things lately. I hear you.
Motherhood is a beautiful thing. However in the same breath, motherhood is one of the hardest jobs in the world. Postpartum takes a toll on you. You don’t feel like yourself and don’t know why. It is normal, it is SO common and it is OK to reach out and ask for help and support. This doesn’t make you any less strong, any less a “good mom” or wife. Having been there myself I know what you are going through. Please know that if you needed an extra ear to vent to, reach out to, or just simple be around. I am here for you too!
You got this…whether you feel like you do or not. Trust me…you got this.
Much love!

Hello and good afternoon!
If you are new here to the blog welcome! For those familiar with this space welcome back ;) It is officially the first day of Summer here in Toronto and we couldn’t have asked for a better day. Sun is shining, fluffy clouds fill the air, breezy and a gorgeous blue sky for miles and miles. We are celebrating with florals and motherhood!
Although the sky is blue, you won’t find any in this next posting. Meet Stefanny. This stunning mom to be reached out to celebrate her pregnancy alongside with her hubby. This sweet couple are expecting a baby girl soon so we celebrated with pink and gorgeous elegant tones of chocolate peonies. Just take a look to see what gorgeous work Aspen Florist created and how effortlessly Stefanny glowed during her session.
We are wishing you a very smooth delivery Stefanny and can’t wait to hear the good news. Enjoy these beautiful memories. Both yourself and A took our breath away.

For some of these beautiful little ones it was their first right of passage meeting Santa. LOL But the mom in me knew I needed to be quick and to keep moving. Boy did I work up a sweat that day haaa. That said..every mom went home with at least one screamer. Sooo cute! Hee hee…
I wanted to take a minute and mention that this Gorgeous backdrop was all made possible by Lisa at Aspen Florist! Lisa…we had so many amazing compliments as you know on this whole event. Thank you THANK YOU…for your hard work, dedication and support for our Aspen and Petra Littles. We had a BLAST!
