Elevate your Motherhood journey with natural solutions: Ajax Oshawa Baby Family Photography
I hear it all the time. Well that year flew! LOL.
On my blog and in my socials I talk about Motherhood a LOT in case you haven’t noticed :) That’s because.it’s been my niche for the last 18 years. So I have may have grown little in both experience from my own family and yours too. During this time my journey as a mom and business owner has allowed me to help create, document and celebrate life’s important milestones for you. It’s also allowed me to share what I am passionate about and my love of natural products.
One of the ways I love helping my clients is through the education of natural products from Young Living that help to make the journey of Motherhood easier. Let’s face it. It’s hard enough.
So if can help share out some simple ways to make changes towards natural products that will save you time, money and be better for your health…than you bet I am going to do it. They work for us and thousands of others and I know they will work for you too. Plus…I know you are going to love them as much as I do too.

It doesn’t have to be overwhelming or expensive. It’s not all or nothing. Baby steps mom. Figuring out where to start first (maybe it’s swapping current cleaning product, maybe it’s your laundry detergent) Ditching the toxins and switching over to all natural is simple. And SO much better for you. Goodbye side effects and harsh chemicals. If not for yourself, for your little one and the future of your family.
Your family is my family. While inside the studio and out. We journey together before and after your session, which is such a beautiful thing really. I am always honoured to capture and watch your family grow.

Tip to save you time and money: Oshawa Brighton Newborn Family Photographer
So you can get back to all the things that matter. Like snuggling your newborn and focusing on your new role as a Mom and Dad.
Your sweet little one is finally here and you come home totally exhausted but so in love. As life and a new routine kick in you realize that some chores need to fall to the way side. If you were like me that meant letting go of constantly needing to keep things clean.
So how can you do this and still keep things germ free especially with a newborn? Thieves Household Cleaner. That’s how! If you’ve been around a while you’lll know how much I love it. You see me using it in reels, stories and posts online. And if you’ve been to the studio, I use it before your arrival and after for clean up too.
Easiest way to grab a bottle for yourself and save 24% in the process is to click the button below.
Thieves kills 99.96% of germs. It’s a blend of Rosemary, Clove, Cinnamon, Lemon and Eucalyptus. The Household Cleaner is a multipurpose cleaner that works on everything and is safe for you, your new baby and fur babies too.
It is completely plant based, so ZERO harsh chemicals/toxins. You will never need to crack a window open again while cleaning and you can say goodbye to any side affects of the so called natural products out there (headaches, asthmas, skin irritations and other health issues)
Don’t we all deserve the best for our family? Health is a gift. It’s up to US to make sure that we take care of it and nurture it for those who rely on us.
If you’ve got questions or want to learn more about it I encourage you to reach out.ne of my top 5 recommended products for motherhood.
Making a swap to natural products is easy and I am here sharing this with you because I care about your health too.

3 Ways Lavender helps Motherhood with sleep : Oshawa Brighton Newborn Family Photography
Before I get started with this entry our family grew a little bigger on my husband’s side with this adorable little girl. Welcome Georgia! It was an honour to document you, mommy and daddy!
~
One of the top struggles that EVERY mom will go through when you welcome a new baby into your life is exhaustion. Let’s face it, lack of sleep in your 20’s was “I’ll sleep when I’m dead right?” and then you have a baby and it’s like an 18 wheeler reverses over you. But seriously, if you’ve just had a baby…a HUGE Congratulations! And if you aren’t feeling exhuasted already…well don’t worry it’s coming lol. That’s not to scare you but I am keeping it real. Our bodies have just gone through a physical and emotional roller coaster, so add little to no sleep is a recipe for depression and or PPD if you don’t take care of yourself. Been there mom. I went through depression which resulted in meds. If I am being honest I HATED IT.
Looking back, I wish I had the knowledge and community support from other mom’s (that were just like myself) that I do today. Having a strong support team to help you in times of need, to share stories with, laugh, cry, get out for coffee and playdates, share what works and what doesn’t is oh so important. I also wish that back then I knew of a more natural/holistic way to help with sleep rather than resorting to medication. Don’t get me wrong, I know that in some cases medication is needed. Today however, there are alternative ways we can support our bodies holistically. I share about what I love, what has worked not just for me but my clients as well. Lavender Essential Oil. Or..The Swiss Army of Oils as it’s coined in the Low Tox Living world has been such a game changer for Sleep for not just you mom but for your babies too.
You’ve probably heard that Lavender calms and relaxes you. That it has sedative properties that help support your sleep too but did you also know that if you rub lavender oil onto your big toes each night before bed. That it will help you sleep better? The big toe is the reflex point for our pineal gland which is responsible for secreting melatonin. Fun fact right?
One thing to note about Young Living’s Essential Oils is that they are therapeutic grade oils. Which means that they are the purest you can get. We have farms all over the world which is so phenomenal.
In fact we have a Seed to Seal Promise. Which means, from start to finish, we take our sourcing, science and standards seriously to ensure you get meticulously made, potent essential oils and products that can replace harsh chemicals in your day-to-day life. Even more reason for you not to purchase grocery/mall oils.
Lavender helps to create a good sleep schedule for you and your baby. Here’s 3 ways to do so:
Start your Diffuser 30 min before bedtime by adding 3-4 drops of YL Lavender. That way your room/nursery will have a beautiful calm scent that prepares you and your newborn for bed and rest.
You can apply Lavender topically ie: your wrists, chest, feet, big toes, temples, spine etc. Any Vita Flex point helps.
YL Lavender is also safe for your baby. Using our Dilution ration chart, use a carrier oil and add 1 drop of Lavender for every 5 drops of carrier oil. Massage onto babies feet, back and body. Use to help calm and soothe for sleep/upset baby. Happy baby, happy mama right?
The newborn stage of Motherhood is short but nonetheless exhausting. Finding a natural way to support and soothe both mom, dad and baby is like icing on the cake. Enjoy this stage and I encourage you to lean into Lavender and how it can help support you and your family.
So all that being said, maybe you’ve heard about Young Living from a girlfriend or neighbour. Maybe you are struggling right now or curious about Young Living and how it can help you. Maybe you are like me, and you just needed something to help because you were tired of being tired. Grab a bottle and a Diffuser (beautiful ones to choose from and ones that are included in a bundle or sold separately ) if you need one too! If you are new , remember that you can save 10% off your first order and by using this link below and save 24% as well!
And don’t worry, we have a community that is there whenever you need. Testimonials, recipes and tips on how to navigate a more natural/low tox Motherhood one step at a time. It is NOT all or nothing. There is a whole team of amazing women that come with your Free Young Living Membership to help and support you on this journey. I am one of them and can’t wait to connect with you and offer my support and love too!
See you soon Mama.

Pickering Oshawa Newborn Baby Boy
Austin. So little. So full of expressions and the biggest newborn stretch I’ve seen in a while ;)
At just 2 weeks this little love was fake sleeping and awake in a minute.
Big sis was oh so proud and such a sweet little girl.
Even while pinching her brother’s nose. LOL…It’s ok..she gave him a kiss after.
Family portraits in the studio are led with gentle guidance but it’s the in between moments that are my favourite.
Thank you S & K for entrusting me with your babies most treasured milestones. Over the years it’s been such an honour. I can’t wait to celebrate the next milestone together with you.

Growing families and healthy low tox homes: Durham Region Motherhood Studio Photography
First, second or third baby? Regardless, your family is growing and it’s such an exciting time! But with more little ones in the house it opens more doors for the germs to creep in. This month I am focusing on how to keep our homes and more importantly, our familles healthy with my all time favourite: Thieves Household Cleaner.
The importance of using a non toxic product to clean my studio and every surface in my home is huge. It not only kills germs for my family but helps to keep you and your family healthy too.
Thieves Household Cleaner is multi-purpose. I use it in the studio on all surfaces, kitchen, bathroom, floors, mirrors, glass, hardwood and so much more. Super concentrated and smells amazing, all you need is one capful. Add it to a 16oz spray bottle like these and top with water.
It also is a HUGE time saver. This plant based product does all the jobs to disinfect and clean and is baby and pet safe.
No need to wait for the “fragrance to leave a room” floors or surfaces to dry or crack a window because it stinks. This beautiful aroma consists of lemon, cinnamon, rosemary, eucalyptus and clove.
Thieves kills 99.96% of all germs. Giving us all peace of mind for what our moms and unborn children are being exposed to.
Here is a list of some ways to use it:
All Purpose-
1 capful of cleaner
2-3 cups of water
Spray liberally on surfaces & wipe clean
~
Glass & Mirror Cleaner-
3 cups water
1tsp white vinegar
Combine in Glass Spray Bottle
Add 5 drops of fav citrus oil (ie lemon or citrus fresh)
Spray surfaces and wipe clean with lint free cloth
