Baby Plan: 3 month old Baby Girl

It's no lie, babies grow oh so fast! Especially the first 3 months!  Don't feel alone if you are still sleep deprived.  Your baby will soon start to fall into a better sleep routine pattern and go for longer stretches. That said, this little puddin' was sure fighting sleep during her Sweet Baby Plan session in studio earlier this week ;)  You may remember seeing her newborn photography session back in November.  You can view her session HERE. Oh baby look at you now!  Wriggling, cooing,giggling and a ton of curious expressions. You took everything in.

Update and Spotlight on Business: Online Marketing

Happy Family Day weekend everyone!  I trust that you are all enjoying this gorgeous sunny day?  I am sure just like all of you, the weekends are packed with "things to do" and places to go!  For the lucky few who are chilling...enjoy!  We often forget what down time really is.  I for one am learning to take more of it. I feel so much more rejuvenated and happy because of it. We are all guilty of it especially when you are a small business owner. There has been a lot happening around Petra King Photography lately.  Awesome things on the horizon and new partnerships have been made.  I would first like to mention that I am VERY honored to have been featured on 2 fantastic websites.  The Complete Baby & Toddler Directory is a local website that provides new parents and families with a SLEW of information.  I recently blogged them in the Spotlight on Business Feature not that long ago. You can see it listed HERE.  I am pleased to say that we are now listed on their website.

I was also approached by a new hip and cool website called Pictots.  I was asked to be featured as the 1st Baby Photographer on Pictots Blog.  Very cool and a huge thanks. GO check them out, a great resource for Newborn, Baby and Family Photographers all across North America!  Tell them I sent you ;)

I also wanted to share with you a recent session I had with a beautiful business woman.  Emily came to me inquiring about Headshots. After our consult and meeting face to face, we hit it off right away. Emily thank you. I love how down to earth and relaxed you were.  If this wasn't the case I'd hate to be in a round of poker with you. LOL  Great bluffer :D

New baby girl lights up the studio

There is just something about a newborn isn't there?  No matter how many times I do a newborn session it never ceases to amaze me.  The itty bitty features, the lashes, tiny nails, fingers, chubby arms, belly buttons, toes and let's not forget the hair! OH the hair! LOL..too adorable.  My father in law would be jealous lol.   When you choose Petra King Photography for a Professional Custom Photography Newborn Session all these amazing details become MY focus. Whether this baby is your first,second or third you will be inundated with emotions, lack of sleep and yes overwhelmed at times too. Rest assured that you are not alone!  Everyone goes through some degree of this. It's ONLY natural. So while you are wrapped up in all the above mentioned, allow me to capture the little miracles that life blesses us with!

There are also a TON of websites online to help us cope. Here are just 2 for you to check out!:

Parentsource.ca  and The Complete Baby & Toddler. Remember to breath and take one day at a time!

A repeat client of mine and a gorgeous mama herself just had her 3rd baby. Meet Alyssa at 8 days! Oh what a pleasure to work with.  Rachel, thanks so much for spending your morning with me in studio and for all the laughs we had. I LOVE the connections I have with my clients. Pure awesome!

Natural Light Newborns:: On the flip side

I would have to say that 99.9% of my newborn photography is with studio lighting.  However there are times when natural lighting sessions are done. Equally beautiful and just as unique for the new parents, newborn sessions really are hands down the most precious way to celebrate your little ones arrival.

 

 

 

Expecting or know someone who is? Contact me today for more info on how to book a Maternity Session OR a Newborn Session.  Maternity sessions on location are SO much fun.  Just take a look at a recent one with a stunning mama found HERE.
