Aspen Florist created a stunning fresh floral scene for your Motherhood mini session. Our gorgeous mamas were also treated to Durham’s famous sugar cookies from Danielle Petrik Sweetery. Lucky for them to dine on the last of her baking for a while as we lost Danielle and her beautiful business to the Corporate world. We wish you all the best Danielle, we will certainly miss you! We also loved that Meredith from Makeup with Mer pampered our mamas too! They looked and felt gorgeous! Thanks once again Mer!
Okay…taking a moment to address these stunning blooms David Austin Wedding Roses, Dahlia’s and Ruscus for greenery. Aspen Florist you spoil us so ( but we LOVE it!)
Peach, coral, creams and soft pastels mixes with greenery was our colour palette this past year. A summer garden arbour was designed in studio and smelled heavenly. I am not going to lie, every mama who came in for their session let out a huge gasp when they saw the set. I am always in awe of the WOW factor she creates every single time.
I hear all too often from our clients that they wish they had portraits of themselves with their children. I am here to tell you not to wait. Just do it! The “right time” never really comes around and before you know it…the stage that you love about them RIGHT NOW, has passed.
You know the old saying, a shoemaker doesn’t have any nice shoes…well same goes for this photographer mama. Although I have photographs of my children, I wish that I had taken my own advice and jumped in front of the camera and been present more. Yes it was a different time, the digital age was JUST starting out and I was not a photographer back then.
Please do this for your future self. She will LOVE that you’ve done so.
If you missed out this past year on hopping in with your kiddos for some portraits stay tuned. Our 2023 Mother’s Day dates will be released soon via our newsletter. If you aren’t subscribed.. we’d love to have a PKP Insider so you can have access to the early bird release! Add yourself via the website or reach out and I can always add you on.

All Natural Motherhood & Baby Studio: Oshawa Maternity & Baby Low Tox Living Photography Studio
Being a new mom is pretty scary and overwhelming at times right? I mean, there is so much information thrown at you from day one and everyone and they're Auntie has some words of wisdom (or old wives tales) for you. Hee hee. And let’s not get started at the fake news online.

I’ll tell you one thing about Motherhood that isn’t scary though. Knowing you aren’t alone. Having a community of friends and family that you can trust and that genuinely care about you. Finding you tribe, person or people (whatever that looks like) is something we all need. We are social creatures and let’s face it. Life is so much better when you have a support system in place. Sharing what works, swapping recipes, going out for coffee/tea dates it’s the health, mental and wellness you and your family need. Because let me tell you, that first year goes by so fast!
When it comes to our children (and our own wellbeing) we only want the best. Making little improvements everyday to live a better, healthier quality of life is something I am very passionate about. Just like when I say you are welcomed into the studio, you are my family. I take care of you while you are here as if you were my own. If you’ve had a session with me you’ll know that rings true ;)
Before your arrive at the studio I run through a routine that I’ve been doing for years. Starting with a deep clean, removing all items from the studio. Floors are first, I use Young Living’s Thieves Household Cleaner. It’s all natural, plant based, ultra concentrated and non abrasive. I use it on all floors and surfaces, change table, high chair, door handles, toys etc. All throughout my home. No residue, no synthetic fragrances, no harsh chemicals and safe for children and pets too. Plus it smells heavenly, which aids in knowing that your experience is healthy, beautiful and welcoming for you and your little ones.
It gives me peace of mind as a mother and business owner that I am giving you the best service and experience you deserve. Low Toxic Living doesn’t have to mean a complete overhaul overnight. It’s making small changes to work towards a healthier, cleaner lifestyle. I’ve been using Young Living daily for the last 10 years and absolutely it. I share what works not only for me and my family, but because I know you and your family will love it too!
Are you curious or ready to try Theives Household Cleaner on your own? It’s pretty simple and not complicated at all (who has time for that) follow this link and you can try for yourself and take advantage of the wholesale prices (24% discount). It’s that easy…plus your free membership means you’ll be attached me to. Think of it like a Costco Membership (but FREE!)
There is zero fuss, nothing is locked in when you become a member. You can come and go if you’d like. But I have a feeling you will love this new cleaner way of cleaning your home and or work environment too!
As always, I am just a text or DM away. You can always, email me too. Reach out and let’s chat if you have questions, about anything.
Serving you Motherhood and Milestones with a whole lotta love :)

Little Liam: Ajax Oshawa Baby Photographer
Tiny, but mighty and oh so cute. Liam came into the studio with his family so that mama could remember and cherish her last baby. So often I hear of moms that for whatever reason did not do a maternity, newborn or baby session with their first child/ren. I too fall into that category. I was too self conscious of how I felt about my postpartum body and suffering from depression I missed out both times.
Images that I create for my clients tug at my own mama heartstrings. Images I wish I had done. This post is not to be a sad one but that of joy. I thank YOU for allowing me to document and create for you. They are your memories to cherish but they are also mine too. I couldn’t be more in love. So if during your session I sneak another cuddle or hang onto baby a little longer you’ll know what it’s all about lol.
I mean, just look at these adorable memories for Libera and her sweet family. Gah ;)
I think Liam agrees don’t you?
See you soon friends.

David Austin Baby Session: Oshawa Floral Baby Photography
I have SO many things I love about being a Photographer. However when it comes to babies, new families and gorgeous David Austin Roses…it makes my heart beat a little faster.
I am constantly reminded with every passing month at just how much my little business has grown. The connections, the milestones and endless memories that are banked in my mind leave me speechless at times. Thank you for choosing me and my beautiful partners/team and best friends in mind when booking. We are ever grateful for you and your trust in us to create for you!
This gorgeous little family invited both myself and Lisa from Aspen Florist into their home for an absolutely stunning baby session. Lisa only uses the absolute BEST when it comes to her florals. I mean just look at these blooms. Stunning David Austin Wedding Roses have become a Signature Floral Session of PKP and Aspen Littles. You can clearly see why! Little Sophie was so lucky to be on a bed of roses (quite literally). Be it inside and out of the studio, weddings/events and of course at Aspen Petals located at Pink Lemon Decor, Lisa goes above and beyond every single time. Thank you for all you do for us all Lisa.
Kyle & Julie are completely smitten with sweet little Sophie and it’s easy to see. She has daddy wrapped around his finger already hee hee.
The Gift of Motherhood is something that stuck this beautiful sweet mama hard during her session. Julie welcomed her daughter into the world after losing an incredible woman in her life. Her Mom… I could feel the emotions in the room. I could feel her mom’s presence and I know Julie could too. Moments that are so personal, sentimental and powerful are little miracles in disguise. Blessings from above that remind us how precious life is and leave us humbled and in awe. Thank you Julie, for allowing me document these early days of Sophie’s life for you and Kyle. The 3 of you left me speechless that day.

Why have a Baby Milestone Session: Oshawa Toronto Baby Studio Photographer
Why bother having a Baby Milestone session? Well mama, those chubby fingers and toes won’t stay like that. The cute baby feet and way their fingers curl into a fist will be crawling all over the floor before you know it. If they aren’t already doing so. Seriously, they grow FAST! Documenting this first year and stages you love is something I know you won’t ever regret. Plus think of it this way, these photographs will grow in value year after year. I promise.
When do I book a Baby Milestone session?
Baby Milestone sessions are typically done between 6-8 months and 9-12 months of age. If you’ve had a Maternity session with us and are planning to document your little bundle of love these are amazing ages to photograph. I would put money on it that baby has learned a new skill or two. I’d love to see what that is and document it for you to remember. Babies are so sweet and silly that even playing peek a boo is made into a game while they are here. My studio is relaxes, bright and welcoming. A welcoming environment for babies to feel safe and can let their personalities shine through.

The Journey to Motherhood: Oshawa Peterborough Maternity Photography
Excitement, anxiousness, scared… just to name a few feelings you go through. Needless to say it’s an emotional roller coaster. Especially if your journey took years to get there or you sadly experienced heartache along the way like I did.
Over the span of my entire career and that’s a very long time let me tell you (17 years and counting) I have had the honour of journeying with every mama that I’ve worked with. From a friendly ear to offering words of advise when asked to watching our friendship grow over the years. Not to mention watching your family as it grows too!
And I get to call this work…how lucky am I?
Thank YOU for trusting me with your most precious milestones.
Wherever you are in your journey or how long it took you to get to where you are today, know that I am always here for you. To lend an ear, to go grab tea/coffee or a bite to eat. I am your Photographer, a Friend and a Mother too. Sometimes you just need a friend who will listen.
Availability for Maternity sessions fills up quickly. If you are expecting or planning to book, please note that we suggest 2-3 months ahead of when you’d like to have your session.
Looking forward to working with you and celebrating these BIG Milestones in your life with you.
Happy Tuesday Mama!
