Does your wish-list have but's?: Oshawa Portrait Studio
Do you ever find yourself daydreaming about a photoshoot? Wishing and getting inspired that you even start pinning boards on Pinterest? While having wish lists are great, don’t spend anymore time daydreaming. That “one day” is now. Planning a session to celebrate your maternity, your baby’s next milestone or to simply celebrate YOU with a motherhood session couldn’t be easier. You will have portraits that you love and feel amazing about.
You will be pampered with hair and makeup, a gorgeous wardrobe at your disposal and fall in love with the experience that makes you feel like a million bucks. When your session is done and your prints are in your hands, I just know that you will reflect on the most exciting time in your life with pride and adoration. Not to mention have gorgeous portraits to display in your home for years to come!
And then it hits you…
I don’t think I need portraits.
I can take the pictures myself
It’s a big investment
I don’t think it’s for me
I am not ready….
What do you do when these negative thoughts pop up into your mind? Have you ever reached out to the photographer you would like to work with and share your concerns?
Luckily, working with an experienced photographer such as myself can help. I’ve heard every excuse in the book over the last 15 years. And let me share something with you. Let me share what to expect, let me share the unforgettable memories and experience that you will receive. Why? Because you deserve it mama…that’s why!
Reach out today and let’s chat. Planning your session is as easy as picking up the phone or hitting send on that email. I can’t wait to show you what you’ve been missing.
Birthday Girl_Ramona turns one!
You have all followed along over the last year and a half as little Miss. Ramona grew. It all started back with her newborn session (prior to retirement) and we finished off her Baby Milestone package with a one year celebration.
Of course we went out in style with the most gorgeous fresh florals from Aspen Florist too! Did you even have to question that? ;)
I mean these gorgeous colours and that decadent cake right? The studio smelled heavenly with this perfect combination. All our cakes are provided by Sweetery.ca. Each cake is handmade with love from all natural ingredients and the most incredible detail for you and your little one.
Allow me to point out the hilarity of this session. Does your little one hate having dirty hands? One of mine did and one did not. See if you can spot the icing flick off the hands? Once she got the hang of things and realized it was yummy she went to town. We ended the session just 2 frames after she went knee deep in her cake. LOL…The BEST ever!
We mss you Ramona and can’t wait to welcome you back into the studio for your next session. Till then, keep on enjoying life and making us smile. We are forever grateful for you and have been so honoured to document you over the years. Thank you for being a part of the PKP Aspen Little Family.
A First Birthday Beauty
First Birthday’s in the studio are so much fun! Whether you are new to the studio or have been with us on a PKP journey I welcome you!
Meet Laila! She came into the studio last fall to celebrate the big O-N-E! And man oh man did we have fun with her.
Here are a few of my favourites from our session…
She got right into it…in fact we have some shots of her with icing everywhere and a raspberry stained dress lol (don’t worry I sprayed it for mom before she left)
She clearly LOVED every minute of it and couldn’t wait to dive right in. No wonder with this beautiful cake from Sweetery.ca!
As with all our Baby Milestone sessions, we make sure to grab some Classic shots prior to the cake portion of the session. Scroll through to see how quickly babies expressions change…too sweet!
If you are thinking about planning a session to celebrate your little one’s upcoming milestones please reach out to the studio 3 months in advance to avoid disappointment. We do sell out quickly and I would hate to miss out on documenting for you.
Feel free to email me or fill out your inquiry here!
I can’t wait to meet you and your little one…
Much love,
Petra
Oshawa Christmas Mini Sessions_Petra King Photography
Hello friends,
Well here we are first week of March and I can’t believe it’s taken me this long to write this blog post entry. We can thank the Pandemic for throwing us all for a loop! Regardless though I can/t wait to share this with you.
Our Christmas Mini Sessions this year was themed SugarPlum Fairies & Nutcrackers at home. Yep…we thought it was appropriate considering lockdown was looming (at that time)
PKP loves supporting local when we can, so when this event was planned we knew that we wanted to work with some of our favourite local businesses. We were lucky enough to do just that and were so honoured to work alongside the following:
Aspen Florist ~ K. Mitchell Design Co ~ Pink Lemon Decor ~ Sweetery.ca ~ Bella Fleur Boutique
Check out what STUNNING set we had in store for our beloved clients this year.
Oh my goodness did we ever have fun! Check out all the sweetest little ones and portraits we captured this past year.
More cuties here….
If you’ve enjoyed going through these sweet little ones and their HUGE excitement for Christmas to come I thank you for being here. These are just a few we wanted to share with you. Check out our Instagram Page for more of these adorable sessions.
We hope you will join us for our 2021 Christmas Mini Sessions. We typically roll out early as we do sell out fast. If you are a PKP Insider you will have access to the Early Bird release so if you aren’t already, feel free to sign up to our newsletter and see you next year!
As always, a HUGE Thank You to Aspen Florist. We LOVE creating events and the best in portrait experiences for our clients with you. To our partners this past year…what can we say…. you KILLED IT! Seriously…we were all blown away and so honoured to have you join us this year.
To our clients, and new PKP members… we are SO very grateful for you. You guys are the best and we can’t wait to do it all again with you in the near future.
Much love,
Petra
Rosie turns one_OshawaBabyStudio_PetraKing
Oh Rosie…
I often wonder when babies come into the studio with mom what goes through their little minds. You too? I mean some of the expressions they give you are priceless.
Rosie’s 1st Birthday Portraits
See what I mean? This expression though…lol
My cake smash sessions always start with some classic portraits. I do this for 2 reasons:
Mom and Dad get to cherish some timeless professional portraits before we jump into the cake fun.
This gives baby time to “warm” up with me, and become get familiar with new surroundings.
Sweet sweet Rosie was a gem to photograph and absolutely loved hanging out in the studio. She played with some toys and loved playing peek a boo too.
Gorgeous cake provided by Sweetery.ca and the best in florals from Aspen Florist.
Rosie had an awesome time. Brief tears as all. We loved having her celebrate with us in studio and we can’t wait to do the same for you!
If you are thinking of planning your little ones milestone session, contact the studio. We can’t wait to plan ahead and welcome you into the studio for some priceless memories.
Till next time, stay healthy and much love,
Petra
Fall Engagement Couple
I have the BEST clients I tell you! I am not lying either. Meet Natalie & Aly. They reached out early in the year for a consult on their upcoming wedding. We connected over the phone during our first lockdown. Right from the beginning, they were both so amazing and easy to talk/work with. Major props too Natalie for being such an organized bride to be, that she made my job that much more easy. Well done!!
As soon as we had the green light to do so, we couldn’t wait to get their engagement session done. We picked a week during fall that allowed us to take advantage of these GORGEOUS colours. But man oh man was it freezing! You’d never know with these two though. Hot couple alert right? lol
We have so many favourites from this gorgeous session and we don’t care if we are oversharing with you lol.
Hee hee…..she cute right?
So when the 3 of us were planning out their engagement session, Natalie asked if her sweet puppy could join. Ummm YES! Meet Willow. She was such a good girl and the sweetest while we were taking pictures too. She made us laugh though…check out her paw on Aly when they cuddled in for a kiss. She’s like…nope…I saw her first haaa..
Sweet thang….
Save the Date! These two are due to tie the knot July 3rd, 2021!
Congratulations Natalie & Aly…we can’t wait to celebrate with you both.
Much love and stay healthy,
Petra
