Little 5 day old baby boy
Photographing little newborn babies is something that I am completely honored to do. With every new family I journey with each is unique and beautiful in their own way. What a blessing to get to know them, to listen to how the met, their history and hear their future plans. I LOVE welcoming a newborn into the world and am humbled every time a newborn comes into the studio. This next young adorable family hung out with me earlier this week. It was awesome to see how relaxed and comfortable they were as I worked with their new son. Meet Charlie! What an adorable 5 day old. Not a peep out of him till the very end! Charlie was so alert and curious at the beginning of our session however after a full tummy and dry bottom, the rest was magical. These little people really are the boss. As mentioned many times before, being a mom helps and you go by their lead. Patience is key when photographing newborns!
He enjoyed the session too see...
He was the most curious 5 day old I have ever photographed! Soo cute...had to throw this one in there mom :)
This last photograph is pretty special. This blanket is 66 years old. A true family heirloom on Dad's side. Dad, Grandpa and many other's
were brought home from the hospital wrapped up in this. Something to cherish for years to come!
Kristy, Bryan thank you for allowing me to capture Charlie for you. What a blessing! Enjoy him, they grow so fast and I'll see you real soon!
Love,

Tell us a bit about yourself and how the idea of BabyView was started?
I have been performing diagnostic ultrasounds since 1990. The first time I saw a 3D baby photo was 9 years ago and I was stunned! I could not believe that the little black and white fetuses I had been assessing all these years looked so real! I was amazed at how developed the features were, even in babies as young as 23weeks. Suddenly, I no longer thought of them as fetuses but as babies, and I became fascinated with the technology that allowed me to observe them in the womb with such incredible detail.
I remember thinking, if I feel this much joy watching a baby that isn’t even mine, imagine how it would feel for the parents-to-be! Thus, the reason BabyView was “born”
Why is BabyView so much better than other ultrasound locations?
As with any service industry, it is the people providing the service that distinguishes one like business from another. Essentially, the technology and equipment used to produce 3D images is the same from location to location. It is the friendly, personalized service that BabyView provides to every person that walks in the door that puts BabyView miles ahead of the other locations. My team and I love what we do, we have a lot of fun and we all share in the celebration of the parents and their families and friends. BabyView is not a large franchise where moms are just another scan, as I mentioned before, I consider BabyView an extension of myself and I personally oversee every aspect of it.
What is the best part of your job?
It’s really hard to think of what I do as a job! To me a job implies work and very rarely do I associate words such as joy, happiness and excitement with the idea of work. I usually think of BabyView as my “baby”, it was born of me and it’s very much a part of me, my life and the life of my family. What is the best part of BabyView? Not only am I able to bring inexplicable joy to expectant parents and the families waiting to welcome their new little baby, but it also provides me with great satisfaction and fulfillment, it gives me a sense of purpose. I am really proud of BabyView !

Baby Plan: 3 month old Baby Girl
It's no lie, babies grow oh so fast! Especially the first 3 months! Don't feel alone if you are still sleep deprived. Your baby will soon start to fall into a better sleep routine pattern and go for longer stretches. That said, this little puddin' was sure fighting sleep during her Sweet Baby Plan session in studio earlier this week ;) You may remember seeing her newborn photography session back in November. You can view her session HERE. Oh baby look at you now! Wriggling, cooing,giggling and a ton of curious expressions. You took everything in.

Update and Spotlight on Business: Online Marketing
Happy Family Day weekend everyone! I trust that you are all enjoying this gorgeous sunny day? I am sure just like all of you, the weekends are packed with "things to do" and places to go! For the lucky few who are chilling...enjoy! We often forget what down time really is. I for one am learning to take more of it. I feel so much more rejuvenated and happy because of it. We are all guilty of it especially when you are a small business owner. There has been a lot happening around Petra King Photography lately. Awesome things on the horizon and new partnerships have been made. I would first like to mention that I am VERY honored to have been featured on 2 fantastic websites. The Complete Baby & Toddler Directory is a local website that provides new parents and families with a SLEW of information. I recently blogged them in the Spotlight on Business Feature not that long ago. You can see it listed HERE. I am pleased to say that we are now listed on their website.
I was also approached by a new hip and cool website called Pictots. I was asked to be featured as the 1st Baby Photographer on Pictots Blog. Very cool and a huge thanks. GO check them out, a great resource for Newborn, Baby and Family Photographers all across North America! Tell them I sent you ;)
I also wanted to share with you a recent session I had with a beautiful business woman. Emily came to me inquiring about Headshots. After our consult and meeting face to face, we hit it off right away. Emily thank you. I love how down to earth and relaxed you were. If this wasn't the case I'd hate to be in a round of poker with you. LOL Great bluffer :D
Emily is a small business owner herself and offers Online Business Manager and Technical Virtual Assistant.
Here's a little bio and info on her business:
Pop on over or drop her an email to get in touch with her. I promise you won't be disappointed!
Have a wonderful day and enjoy your short week!
Interested in booking a session for you or someone you know. Feel free to contact me I'd love to hear from you!
