All Natural Motherhood & Baby Studio: Oshawa Maternity & Baby Low Tox Living Photography Studio
Being a new mom is pretty scary and overwhelming at times right? I mean, there is so much information thrown at you from day one and everyone and they're Auntie has some words of wisdom (or old wives tales) for you. Hee hee. And let’s not get started at the fake news online.
Being a new mom is pretty scary and overwhelming at times right? I mean, there is so much information thrown at you from day one and everyone and they're Auntie has some words of wisdom (or old wives tales) for you. Hee hee. And let’s not get started at the fake news online.
I’ll tell you one thing about Motherhood that isn’t scary though. Knowing you aren’t alone. Having a community of friends and family that you can trust and that genuinely care about you. Finding you tribe, person or people (whatever that looks like) is something we all need. We are social creatures and let’s face it. Life is so much better when you have a support system in place. Sharing what works, swapping recipes, going out for coffee/tea dates it’s the health, mental and wellness you and your family need. Because let me tell you, that first year goes by so fast!
When it comes to our children (and our own wellbeing) we only want the best. Making little improvements everyday to live a better, healthier quality of life is something I am very passionate about. Just like when I say you are welcomed into the studio, you are my family. I take care of you while you are here as if you were my own. If you’ve had a session with me you’ll know that rings true ;)
Before your arrive at the studio I run through a routine that I’ve been doing for years. Starting with a deep clean, removing all items from the studio. Floors are first, I use Young Living’s Thieves Household Cleaner. It’s all natural, plant based, ultra concentrated and non abrasive. I use it on all floors and surfaces, change table, high chair, door handles, toys etc. All throughout my home. No residue, no synthetic fragrances, no harsh chemicals and safe for children and pets too. Plus it smells heavenly, which aids in knowing that your experience is healthy, beautiful and welcoming for you and your little ones.
It gives me peace of mind as a mother and business owner that I am giving you the best service and experience you deserve. Low Toxic Living doesn’t have to mean a complete overhaul overnight. It’s making small changes to work towards a healthier, cleaner lifestyle. I’ve been using Young Living daily for the last 10 years and absolutely it. I share what works not only for me and my family, but because I know you and your family will love it too!
Are you curious or ready to try Theives Household Cleaner on your own? It’s pretty simple and not complicated at all (who has time for that) follow this link and you can try for yourself and take advantage of the wholesale prices (24% discount). It’s that easy…plus your free membership means you’ll be attached me to. Think of it like a Costco Membership (but FREE!)
There is zero fuss, nothing is locked in when you become a member. You can come and go if you’d like. But I have a feeling you will love this new cleaner way of cleaning your home and or work environment too!
As always, I am just a text or DM away. You can always, email me too. Reach out and let’s chat if you have questions, about anything.
Serving you Motherhood and Milestones with a whole lotta love :)

Little Liam: Ajax Oshawa Baby Photographer
Tiny, but mighty and oh so cute. Liam came into the studio with his family so that mama could remember and cherish her last baby. So often I hear of moms that for whatever reason did not do a maternity, newborn or baby session with their first child/ren. I too fall into that category. I was too self conscious of how I felt about my postpartum body and suffering from depression I missed out both times.
Images that I create for my clients tug at my own mama heartstrings. Images I wish I had done. This post is not to be a sad one but that of joy. I thank YOU for allowing me to document and create for you. They are your memories to cherish but they are also mine too. I couldn’t be more in love. So if during your session I sneak another cuddle or hang onto baby a little longer you’ll know what it’s all about lol.
I mean, just look at these adorable memories for Libera and her sweet family. Gah ;)
I think Liam agrees don’t you?
See you soon friends.

David Austin Baby Session: Oshawa Floral Baby Photography
I have SO many things I love about being a Photographer. However when it comes to babies, new families and gorgeous David Austin Roses…it makes my heart beat a little faster.
I am constantly reminded with every passing month at just how much my little business has grown. The connections, the milestones and endless memories that are banked in my mind leave me speechless at times. Thank you for choosing me and my beautiful partners/team and best friends in mind when booking. We are ever grateful for you and your trust in us to create for you!
This gorgeous little family invited both myself and Lisa from Aspen Florist into their home for an absolutely stunning baby session. Lisa only uses the absolute BEST when it comes to her florals. I mean just look at these blooms. Stunning David Austin Wedding Roses have become a Signature Floral Session of PKP and Aspen Littles. You can clearly see why! Little Sophie was so lucky to be on a bed of roses (quite literally). Be it inside and out of the studio, weddings/events and of course at Aspen Petals located at Pink Lemon Decor, Lisa goes above and beyond every single time. Thank you for all you do for us all Lisa.
Kyle & Julie are completely smitten with sweet little Sophie and it’s easy to see. She has daddy wrapped around his finger already hee hee.
The Gift of Motherhood is something that stuck this beautiful sweet mama hard during her session. Julie welcomed her daughter into the world after losing an incredible woman in her life. Her Mom… I could feel the emotions in the room. I could feel her mom’s presence and I know Julie could too. Moments that are so personal, sentimental and powerful are little miracles in disguise. Blessings from above that remind us how precious life is and leave us humbled and in awe. Thank you Julie, for allowing me document these early days of Sophie’s life for you and Kyle. The 3 of you left me speechless that day.

Why have a Baby Milestone Session: Oshawa Toronto Baby Studio Photographer
Why bother having a Baby Milestone session? Well mama, those chubby fingers and toes won’t stay like that. The cute baby feet and way their fingers curl into a fist will be crawling all over the floor before you know it. If they aren’t already doing so. Seriously, they grow FAST! Documenting this first year and stages you love is something I know you won’t ever regret. Plus think of it this way, these photographs will grow in value year after year. I promise.
When do I book a Baby Milestone session?
Baby Milestone sessions are typically done between 6-8 months and 9-12 months of age. If you’ve had a Maternity session with us and are planning to document your little bundle of love these are amazing ages to photograph. I would put money on it that baby has learned a new skill or two. I’d love to see what that is and document it for you to remember. Babies are so sweet and silly that even playing peek a boo is made into a game while they are here. My studio is relaxes, bright and welcoming. A welcoming environment for babies to feel safe and can let their personalities shine through.

The Journey to Motherhood: Oshawa Peterborough Maternity Photography
Excitement, anxiousness, scared… just to name a few feelings you go through. Needless to say it’s an emotional roller coaster. Especially if your journey took years to get there or you sadly experienced heartache along the way like I did.
Over the span of my entire career and that’s a very long time let me tell you (17 years and counting) I have had the honour of journeying with every mama that I’ve worked with. From a friendly ear to offering words of advise when asked to watching our friendship grow over the years. Not to mention watching your family as it grows too!
And I get to call this work…how lucky am I?
Thank YOU for trusting me with your most precious milestones.
Wherever you are in your journey or how long it took you to get to where you are today, know that I am always here for you. To lend an ear, to go grab tea/coffee or a bite to eat. I am your Photographer, a Friend and a Mother too. Sometimes you just need a friend who will listen.
Availability for Maternity sessions fills up quickly. If you are expecting or planning to book, please note that we suggest 2-3 months ahead of when you’d like to have your session.
Looking forward to working with you and celebrating these BIG Milestones in your life with you.
Happy Tuesday Mama!

Dreaming of the beach Oshawa Newcastle Family Photography
It’s January, the days are long, dark and cold. Does anyone else feel like the winter months drag on and on and when spring and summer roll around it’s gone in the blink of an eye? LOL…WHY? Why is this always the case? I mean I know we long for summer time, the warmth of the sun and breezy nights. But I wish we could bottle that feeling up and open it to rejuvenate ourselves whenever we wanted.
Today on my Instagram stories I shared a little of how I’ve been struggling with the winter blah’s. I must admit, I am NOT a winter lover. Haaa..while it’s perfect for Christmas Day, I could easily have enough for one week and then hibernate or move south :) As a busy mom of 2 teens, a dog mama and running my Portrait Studio it’s hard to carve out pockets of time for myself. BUT I do make it a non negotiable to get a workout in. Additionally it’s so important to take the right supplements and vitamins to support your body. If you are a busy mom and reading this you are well aware that most days it’s even hard to get a meal in. Be it hot, cold or the kids leftovers am I right?
I am very in tune with my body and when the emotions and feelings dip, I reach for things that work and that make me feel more like myself. For me that starts with my essential oils. I have been using them for about 10 years and sharing more and more with you about what I use on the daily. What I clean the studio with, diffuse during your sessions and when it’s time for sleep…what my favourite go to’s are.
There has been such a great response and interest in what I’ve been sharing of late. So first and foremost I LOVE that you are loving it too. So if you see something I use or do and it sparks your intrest or you want to learn more about, just ask. I am an open book and love sharing my favourite oils, products and daily routines with you too. Honestly…I know you will love them too.
Feel free to follow along if you’d like. I will be sharing more in the coming weeks ahead. If you’ve got questions, you know where to reach me. And if it’s not for you and you are just here for the pretty pictures that’s fine too. LOL.
Have a wonderful and healthy weekend ahead friends. Much love,
Petra
