When should I book a newborn photographer in Oshawa?

Newborn photography sessions are best booked during your second trimester to ensure availability. Sessions typically take place within the first 5-14 days after birth.

When is the best time to schedule maternity photos?

Maternity photography sessions are ideally scheduled between 28-34 weeks when your bump is beautifully round but you are still comfortable.

Ajax,Durham Region Photographer Petra King:: momstown.ca Whitby-Ajax

It has been a while since I've showcased a feature spotlight on business. I'd like to introduce a wonderful online community called momstown.ca We have our very own local chapter for Whitby and Ajax run by an awesome business mompreneur Nicole King. Here is some information about the community and some background information as well.

***

momstown.ca was founded in Burlington, Ontario by Christi Rasheed and Ann-Marie Burton in 2007. Nicole King became the momstown Whitby-Ajax licensee in July of 2010. Nicole is mom to Cadence (born in 2009) and is expecting her second in early-February 2011. Nicole was briefly a member of another chapter of momstown when her daughter was first born, and loved the concept... so decided to launch a momstown in her own community.

momstown began as a grassroots community initiative to help local moms connect and support each other. Odds are that when you were growing up your mom knew all of your neighbours. Your street was full of kids you knew and your mom invited the neighbourhood over to run through the sprinkler while the other moms had coffee and chatted. If a neighbour had a new baby, you were probably sent over with a hot casserole and the new mother would have been warmly welcomed into the folds of the other families. Although some social conventions have (sadly) changed, what hasn’t is the need to connect with other local mothers. It has always been said it takes a village to raise a child. We say it takes a town. Who resides in the town we fondly call momstown? Well, it’s moms like you.

momstown provides this connection with a calendar filled with over 25 events scheduled per months where moms can connect and get out of the house. momstown events give moms the opportunity to connect with their children on a variety of levels - education, creative play, music and more. However we also understand that even with the best of intentions moms can't always get out but still need to connect. momstown stays true to their mandate to connect and support moms via their newly revamped, dynamic website inclusive of message boards, tips and tricks from mom bloggers, and practical content. Then just for fun we throw in member discounts, a feature page and a monthly contest.

momstown understands that every mom has her own schedule and workload. Working moms, expectant moms, mat leave moms and stay at home moms alike can benefit from the momstown offerings and events. With weekday, evening and weekend events, there is something that can fit into even the most hectic of schedules.

Ajax,Durham Region, Pickering Child Photographer Petra King :: Urban Mini part 2

Just a few more from our fun session yesterday. Here's some of my beautiful daughter. At times it was like pulling teeth and well I'll take her moodiness over no shots any old day. So for now, until she totally catches me off guard ( most likely the time when I don't have the camera in my hand) here's my 5 year old wildfire.

Watching a delivery down the street?

Kissy Kissy...

I have been waiting to do a photoshoot with this little beauty for a while. I KNEW that she would rock out in the session and she totally loved up my camera big time! Such a spunky, sassy little girl and she reminded me of Punky Brewster! ( Ok showing my age here lol) I did a quick session this morning with Nyla, her mom and my daughter. I'll post some of Robyn later as I couldn't wait to get these up for mom! Here are a few from our fun session this morning. Ajax,Durham Region Child Photographer Petra King
