Healthy Hormones: Oshawa Durham Region Motherhood Photographer

Congratulations on your baby! I’d bet it’s safe to say that it’s been such a crazy last 9 months that have left you exhausted but so in love. I’d also say that your hormones are doing a number on you right now too. Hot, cold, irritable, anxious, weepy…ugh they suck at times ;)

Do you know that the most common and typical hormone imbalance in women is low progesterone? I actually suffer from this and I had NO idea until I wanted to have children. There are number of things that affect progesterone levels. Environmental toxins like chemicals in home cleaners, pesticides in food, birth control, prescriptions and stress. Rest assured…there are ways to help naturally.

Natural progesterone can work wonders to help keep the body balanced and happy. Progesterone is often prescribed in a synthetic form, but a better option that I have found and been using is from wild yams and infused essential oils. Enter Progessence Photo Plus! It’s a game changer for my emotions, moods and overall happy balance.

Women NEED progesterone all the way through menopause and beyond. It’s what keeps us from having too much estrogen. That’s a good thing!

Wild yams are said to help normalize blood sugar levels, combat weight gain and hair loss. It helps reduce reoccurrence of hormonal headaches, and promotes restful sleep.

Progessence is a powerhouse and has received so many testimonials on relief from monthly cycles, hormonal acne, support for PCOS, fertility and so much more. The easiest way to apply is to start with 2-4 drops to the stomach, feet, inner thigh or forearm daily.

Berry Cute Cake Smash: Bowmanville Oshawa Baby Studio Photographer

Baby Grier came in for her first birthday. This little one never disappoints. Such a happy go lucky girl. Although I think the strawberries were a little tart :)

Her gorgeous cake thanks to Nadine at Nest Specialty Desserts knocks it out the strawberry patch once again!

Clearly, she could not wait to dive in! A girl after my own heart :)

Helpful Dilution Guide: Oshawa Lot-Tox Motherhood Studio Photography

Congratulations and welcome to Young Living! I am SO excited you are here. IF this is your first experience with Essential Oils there are few things I wanted to share to help make it a smooth transition into leading a more low tox lifestyle. And don’t worry mama, it doesn’t mean you need to do it all at once. Swapping out products one at a time is the easiest way to go.

When it comes to Essential Oils, how to use them and applying them, common sense and finding what works for you and your family is important. That’s to beautiful thing about Young Living and the oils/products that they offer to cover everything you need for your home, health, wellness and mind.

But here is a quick graphic to help you get a better understanding of using essential oils with a carrier oil.

Some of my favourite carrier oils to use with Essential Oils are, Refined Liquid Coconut oil (or solid), Jojoba Oil, YL’s V6 Oil or Grapeseed oil and if you don’t have any of those, Olive oil will work too.

Flying into Motherhood: Oshawa Durham Region Maternity Photographer

I will spare you the puns and play on words with this one. When Krysten reached out for a maternity session with both Meredith and myself, we found out that her husband is a Pilot. :) Celebrating the impending arrival of her sweet little daughter was something she really wanted to do. Krysten, we are so happy you did! We loved working with you and documenting this exciting time in your life!

Meredith always goes above and beyond to make you feel relaxed, polished and ready for the camera. She uses natural vegan products for even the most sensitive of skin.

She always nails it, even for those who don’t wear a lot of makeup!

Beautiful mom to be in blush dress

Maternity sessions are so personal. You are in a beautiful, clean and calm environment that allows you to just be yourself. You are surrounded by light and the positive energy (and affirmations that you are glowing)

Getting to know you, listen to the excitement in your voice and making you feel “at home” while here has to be one of my favourite things.

You are going to love your session, that I promise. And when I ask you to bring something personal such as this onesie below…lol it’s PERFECT!

I love planning with you and leave the rest up to me. Have fun with your session mama. After all…it’s YOU that makes it so unique.
