A little over 2 years apart but oh my goodness I can’t get over how much alike some siblings are. I have had the absolute pleasure and honour of working with this beautiful mama and her sweet family for the last few years and was so excited when she told me she was expecting baby #2.

Fast forward to last month and as soon as I saw her second daughter I literally said…WOW! Now I know I have touched base on this subject recently but it’s SOOO cool watching my families grow and come back to visit.

Introducing Evelyn…

This sweet little one held on till the last 15 minutes of her session. Cluster feeding, cuddles and curious. All completely normal during a newborn session and as always we go with the flow. However when her eyes were too heavy to stay open we were sure to capture her for mom and dad and big sister too.

The blessing of Motherhood_Oshawa_Whitby_Maternity_Photographer_Petra_King_Photography

The blessing of Motherhood is something that not all of us get to experience. But that all of us deserve. Some may not wish to be a mother when others are wishing so hard to be one. It may be a touchy subject for some of you but trust me when we say that this post comes with nothing more than love and happiness for each and every one of you.

We welcomed this beautiful excited mom to be into the studio recently. Holy smokes guys…we are so very lucky to work with such amazing beautiful moms to be lately. Not to mention our mamas don’t even realize half the time that they nail their looks and interaction with the camera 100%. I hear so often…I don’t like having my picture taken, or I feel so awkward.

Well mama…I am here to help you. This is part of my job, your experience while in studio is so important to me that I make a point to really get to know you before, during and after our shoot. Tell me what your concerns are, what you love, dislike, wants and hopes are when it comes to your maternity session. Why?…Because I truly believe that the connection and relationships we build in life are ones that should come from the heart. So no matter how we met or what you are doing now means a lot to me to be welcomed into “your” family and life. I really cherish the friendships I have been blessed to have made so far on this journey together.

Baby Girl on the way: Oshawa_Durham Region_Maternity_Photographer_Petra_King_Photography

Shhh..he’s listening for his little sister in there… I know…all the feels.

Meet Nolan…this gorgeous little guy came into the studio with his beautiful mom and dad for some maternity portraits and oh my goodness did we ever have fun. This beautiful young couple are expecting a baby girl on the way and are sooo excited!

Maternity sessions with families in studio are always fun filled, sweet and unposed. We go with the flow most days. Interacting with toddlers once they are comfortable gives them time to trust you and to know that despite being somewhere new…its fun for them as well as for mom and dad. As you can see here…Nolan had a great time too.

Wishing you a happy and healthy remainder of your pregnancy mama. You have an adorable little family and I can’t wait to hear when she arrives.

Stay tuned for more from the studio as we get caught up on a busy amazing summer!

Floral Maternity: OshawaMotherhoodGlimpse

Motherhood…

Seldom do we associate motherhood with all things beauty for ourselves. It is so easy to get caught up and feel overwhelmed with things to do, places to be present for our own wants and needs. When you are expecting a baby you begin to understand this more than ever. Life is busy. We get it.

However….pausing that life button to take time out for yourself is ever more important these days. To recognize that you deserve it too and this is exactly what this gorgeous mama did recently. In fact…she brought her adorable new hubby in too to join in on the fun.

Meet Erin and Mark. This sweet young couple are brides of Aspen Florist and when they found out they were expecting their first child Erin knew that she wanted to work with us. We are beyond grateful and thrilled for them and these stunning memories we created together. Take a look for yourself…they rocked it right?

We had the BEST time in studio creating these memories for mom and dad to be and we can NOT wait to hear the news of their little baby very soon. Erin..Mark…thank you for choosing Petra King Photography and Aspen Florist for allowing us to document this milestone for you.

If you are interested in booking a Floral Maternity Session for yourself or to Gift to a beautiful new mom we would love to hear from you. Please feel free to contact us or reach out to the studio.

We can’t wait to document this blessing of a milestone in your lives!

Till next time…much love,

It's a Boy for Durham Balloons:Petra King Photography

Last month we had the pleasure of meeting the latest addition to Durham Balloons tribe. Congratulations to you Deverae and Clayton on your sweet SWEET little baby boy! We had so much fun photographing him.

World…meet Nathaniel.

I am always excited to meet my littlest clients for the first time. It’s one of the many perks I have doing the job I do. Meeting new people. Creating memories, documenting moments and building relationships. What an honour to be able to do this for my clients. Especially right from the start.

These tiny humans have a built in radar that they are totally aware of their surroundings when they are not home. And it’s pretty amazing to witness. Most parents are unaware and just think that it’s their child fighting sleep or being stubborn lol.

But I know otherwise lol. They take in everything. Listening to me as I talk to them. To comfort them and to hopefully capture their personality for mom and dad as best I can in the time frame we have together. This little guy although small…is mighty and bound for some pretty amazing things.

His proud big sister was right there too to help me and to get a few images of her own in there as well. Congrats mom and dad, big brothers and sisters…he is adorable and I can’t wait to watch him grow. Enjoy!
