I met the most fantastic family today! I was very honored to be able to capture such precious moments of their children's lives and a sneak peak into their own love story! We had so much fun chatting,swapping stories and laughing at silly things. Thank you SO much Dave & Michelle. You both truly are beautiful people! Once again I am blessed and reminded of why I do what I do. To be able to relish in emotional connections, and share a passion for photography.

Check them out!

Love the 6 month old 6 pack...sooo cute!

Ajax, Durham Region, Pickering Portrait Photographer Petra King:: 39 years strong.

Wedding anniversaries past 20 years these days is something to certainly celebrate. I am fortunate to have two sets of parents that are still together after many many years! What an inspiration. Yesterday morning I had the pleasure of meeting up with a friends parents to do a mini session with them at home. This beautiful couple have been married for 39 years! Congratulations on a milestone. May God Bless you with many more sweet years of memories together!

It was a fun morning, albiet humid and still outside, BUT it was wonderful listening to them,watching them and their grandchildren hug and kiss them up. Here are some sneak peeks from the session.

Beauty from the garden.

Ajax,GTA,Keswick Newborn Photographer, Petra King :: Eyes wide shut

Kinda: Tuesday morning I took a road trip with all my gear up to Keswick! The session was for a 1 month old baby girl. Mom and I were super excited and so I quickly got to work. Our little girl however, had plans of her own! While it is easier to photograph newborns from day 4 up to 2 weeks, I knew that with my bag of tricks I'd be able to capture just how little she still was for her mom and dad. She sure put me to the test! BUT in the end she crashed out and gave in! Here are a few from yesterday morning. We even had some concerned help from our fur friend Ben! Thanks Buddy :D

Introducing Miss. Lily!

Baby Toes: awe...

A few outtakes...love the fist haaa.

Caught Ben sneaking in to see what the fuss was about!

Peaceful strawberry shortcake!

Ajax,Courtice Newborn Photographer, Petra King :: 6 weeks early!

This little squishy sweetheart just couldn't WAIT to come into the world. She was 6 weeks early and is STILL so tiny! It amazes me everytime I do a newborn session, just how amazing babies really are. She was pretty vocal despite her size, I can tell she has a great set of lungs. However, she was awesome to work with. Just look at these beautiful images she gave mom,dad and myself!! Meet Alexa... 27 days old.

Ajax,Durham Region,Whitby Family & Child Photographer Petra King :: Summer Heat

Phew-ee what a week we've had. Humid temps again, downpours from the heavens and lots of haze! This weekend I FINALLY got to meet a VERY cool and stylin' family. Their session was a Gift Certificate they decided to cash in on and boy oh boy I am SO happy they did! We all had a busy and FUN time together and kept things moving as with every click of the shutter button, I felt beads of sweat rolling down my back! Hmm NICE. This gorgeous family looked as cool as cucumbers though. So I apologize in advance E & K if I was a sweaty mess by the end haa. HOWEVER!

Here are some beautiful moments I captured that morning!

I've updated with images so all our iphone friends can view without flash!

Thanks a million and enjoy your sneak peeks!
