Sleep & Sitter Sessions: Oshawa Motherhood Studio Photographer
First time mom or not. Once you have a little one you realize how important the role of sleep plays in growth and development. If your little one is a good sleeper then kudos to you! That’s amazing! However if you were like me and are struggling to find that “good quality sleep” that isn’t a 15 min power nap, then I am here for you mama lol
Drumroll please…I present to you Lavender! Nah mama hang on… this is NOT your Grandma’s :lavender scented soap, bathroom potpourri, full of toxins, smack in your face synthetic fragrances or other crap that gives you a headache and nightmares…this is the REAL deal.
And guess what? It will help you AND your baby and yourself fall asleep and stay asleep.
WHOOT WHOOT!
One of my regrets I have about Motherhood is not knowing about Young Living sooner. Hear me out…I don’t just say this because my family uses products daily. I say this with utmost sincerity that it would have made mommin’g so much easier and stress free.
Take Lavender for instance. It’s coined the “Swiss Army. Knife of oils”. Not only does it help with sleep and creating a beautiful calm and relaxing environment for babies and adults alike, it has SO many uses.
Things like, skin, emotional support, moods, bites, burns, stings just to name a few.
So what does this have to do with sitter sessions? Ever heard the phrase, happy baby happy mom? Yep that…a well rested baby makes for a happy natural session. It allows for me to photograph your little one with them being comfortable, relaxed and happy. Moments and memories that you as a parent will cherish.
If you’d like some more information on Lavender let’s chat.
If you use it already I am so proud of you! Or if you are ready to add it to your mom wellness kit I am so excited for you! You can find it here via my referral link and save yourself 24% off pricing and FREE Shipping from me. Drop me a line and let’s create a better sleep routine today.
Night Night! ;)

Studio cleaning and precious cargo: Oshawa Bowmanville Cake Smash Photographer

I have always taken great pride in providing a service that not only that my clients love and come back time and time again for…but for one I can be proud of and have FULL confidence in a clean and safe environment.
My tired and tested secret weapon isn’t a secret anymore. Because I want YOU to have it in your homes too. So I talk about it. A LOT.

Family Happiness: Oshawa Newcastle Family Photography
After reading the caption, what does that mean to you? Have you thought about what that looks like? Sure a gorgeous photograph of your family and a wonderful experience is the goal of our session. However, once our session is done and you’ve printed your images to display in your home… then what?
Then you soak it in. Just look at what you have made. A BEAUTIFUL family that means everything to you. Your very own Family Heirloom to pass down for generations to come. They say true happiness comes from within but we could all use a little help now and then right? Especially if you are a busy mama like my beautiful client Taryn. Hands full, hips carrying littles around and constantly on the go and hearts overflowing.
I am here for you mama. If it’s just to listen, offer a shoulder, a cup of tea or coffee with and sometimes you just need to hear you are doing a great job from someone other than your family. I love journeying with my families. The connections we make, document and cherish are equally fulfilling to me as well. I am truly Blessed and Grateful for each and everyone of you.
You may remember Taryn from her maternity session. Not only is it an honour to document life’s moments that matter to you it also gives you the little nudge needed to finally get that wall gallery up ;)
Plan a session with us. I promise you and your family will love the experience and a year from now you will thank yourself that you invested in your family. Heirloom memories to pass down through the generations…now that’s happiness any family would love to have as keepsakes.
We have limited dates left for the rest of the year. If this year isn’t in your cards, reach out to us for next year. Our 2024 calendar fills quickly so be sure to book early. We suggest 2-3 months out to make sure we have the date/s you need.

Leo is 2: Oshawa Baby & Family Photography
I have known this handsome little guy since he was 3 months old. How lucky am I to watch and document his growth with his beautiful parents? In all my 17.5 years of business, Leo is the most polite, well mannered little boy I have ever met. Which speaks volumes for his parents.
Leo came in with his mom and dad to celebrate turning 2! We danced, giggled, cuddled and even tested out some of the studio’s props for good measure.
Outgrowing Baby milestones and graduating to toddler milestones are just as important and so much fun.
As always, thank you for coming in to celebrate your sweet beautiful boy with me D & L. Can’t wait for the next one with you.
Till next time. Much love,
Petra

Scarlett's Cake Smash Session: Oshawa Durham Region Baby Milestone Photographer
Scarlett, your sweet personality was beaming for your Cake Smash session. We had so much fun with you sweetie. Your session couldn’t have been more perfect!
Your beautiful cake from Nest Specialty Desserts and Aspen Florist screamed summer! Wouldn’t you agree?
The most mezermizing eyes. How could I not freeze in time for mom and dad?
When you book a cake smash session with us, both mom and dad are more than welcome to join if your schedule allows. Being a part of your child’s 1st birthday celebration is fun, especially when we get to work together. Setting up for the exact moment your little one reaches for the cake for the first time.
Most of the time, this is your son or daughter’s first taste of cake. MOST of the time, mom and dad think their little one will dive right in like they do at home. But every now and then, babies like to surprise us. LOL! Scarlett was not impressed :)
It’s often a texture thing for babies. I mean, playing around with food at home is different. But there’s something about Icing that makes them either love or hate it. Just come prepared knowing that when she flicks it off her hands it’s going to land on mom or dad or my studio walls :).
All part of fun experience and core memories we make here at PKP & Aspen Littles.
Thank you for choosing us!

Liam's Cake Smash Session:
We love cake smash sessions and documenting milestones and memories for you and your family. One of the first things I ask is if your baby has had cake before? I ask this for 2 reasons: One, so that mom and or dad are prepared it could go either way despite what baby loves at home it may be different while in the studio. And two because no matter what their reaction, I want mom and dad to know that we will capture some gorgeous memories together regardless.
We have worked hard over the years to make sure that your experience as well as your babies is a beautiful one. One of the most common reactions with babies during a cake smash session is aversion to texture. However with that being said, once they get a taste they are hooked ;)
Sweet Liam was pretty uncertain at the beginning but with mom’s help he got to taste a little bit. Here’s his reaction. What do you think? Haaaa.
My fellow photographer friends always ask me what I use for clean up for the sessions that get a little messy. I have spoken about Thieves Household Cleaner quite a lot over the last year. This is my go to for the business and for my home. I NEVER need to worry about what I am using and tiny clients on the floor or touching surfaces. Thieves Cleaner is 100% all natural and plant based. It kills 99.96% of all germs. It’s safe for the family, and pets. It’s my secret weapon when it comes to keeping the studio clean, sparking and germ free. Plus it cuts the grease and stickiness that is leftover from a cake smash ;)
You and your family are important to me, so you bet I am going to take care of you just as I would my own!
If you are looking for a more natural way to eliminate fragrances, chemical and toxins from you home, I can’t share enough about Thieves. This multipurpose cleaner cleans my whole home from the bathroom to kitchen, floors, mirrors, glass etc etc. One bottle = 29 Spray bottles. Ditching and Switching has never been easier.
