Stress Free & Full of Heart: What Your Newborn Session Is Really Like

Your newborn session should feel like a breath of fresh air—not another thing on your to-do list.

Between sleepless nights, feedings, Dr. Appointments and adjusting to a new rhythm, the idea of scheduling a newborn photo session can feel overwhelming. Breathe mom and dad…I got you. At Petra King Photography, your newborn session is designed to be one less thing to worry about. With a heart-led, baby-first approach, my goal is to help you walk away with more than just beautiful photos—I want you to feel seen, cared for, and celebrated as a family.

What Makes My Approach Different

From the moment you reach out, you’ll feel the difference. My light-filled studio, located in N. Oshawa in the Durham Region is calm and inviting, with thoughtful touches to support new parents—like soft seating, a welcoming quiet and a client wardrobe with flattering, timeless pieces. Sessions are paced gently, with no rush or pressure. Every step is designed to honour this once-in-a-lifetime season with ease and grace.

Baby-Led Posing = A Calm, Comfortable Experience

No stiff or unnatural posing here. I believe babies are perfect just as they are. Here in my Oshawa studio, my baby-led newborn photography is calm style and natural—meaning your little one stays comfortable, soothed, and safe throughout the entire session. I follow their cues, whether they need a feed, a snuggle, or a pause. This keeps the energy peaceful and allows for moments that feel as genuine as they are beautiful.

Client Experience: What Moms Are Saying

“Petra made us feel instantly at ease. The session was so relaxed, and I couldn’t believe how gently she worked with our baby. She was so patience and truely is a skilled professional. She captured moments I’ll treasure forever.”

– Jessica, Bowmanville

“Our toddler had a full meltdown mid-session, and Petra didn’t miss a beat. She helped us stay calm, reset, took time to console both our toddler and us AND still managed to capture the sweetest sibling photo. Forever grateful.”

– Amanda, Oshawa
