2024 was a year full of the challenges and ups and downs that I know many small businesses have faced lately. I know the economy hasn’t been wonderful, and that makes me even more grateful to each and every one of you for choosing me, for trusting me to capture your special moments and memories. I very much look forward to continuing to grow through these challenges, and I have so much hope and vision for the future of Raindance Photography.
2025 will be a year of personal and professional growth for me. I have so much planned – from an entire years’ line up of Mini Events to investing in professional development and honing my skill. I am looking forward to spending time in all of my favourite places between Barrie, Midland, Penetanguishene, Callander, North Bay and beyond photographing all of your beautiful smiling faces; your sweet, brand new squishy newborns, and your favourite furry friends too!
I am wishing you all the warmest wishes for a safe and Happy New Year and health and abundance for the year to come.
Love,
Stephanie, Your Photographer 😉
In the past, I looked forward to this moment from the very beginning of the year each year. For the last bunch of years, with the uncertainty post-covid, I have held off on running this, and I am so excited this year to finally bring it back! This is my way of saying a big huge “Thank You” to every one of the clients who chooses to hire me each year. You could have chosen any one of a massive quantity of other photographers in the areas that I service, but you didn’t. You chose me, and for that, I am truly thankful!
So, in appreciation, I host this contest where you have an opportunity to win everything from an entirely free all inclusive full session to a mini session, gift cards, and canvas!

Lifestyle newborn sessions like this one allow us to document those early days of your new baby’s life, freezing moments in time for you to cherish forever. These sessions are available in the North Bay area at a discounted price point, OR in the comfort of your own home in Barrie, Midland, Penetanguishene, Gravenhurst or Huntsville.
These sessions are best done while baby is between 5-21 days of age, and are best booked while you are still expecting (although if baby has arrived and you’d like to book, I can accommodate last minute requests, so don’t be afraid to reach out!)
Documentary Lifestyle sessions are also ideal for those families who have missed that first-few-weeks window of new baby’s life for whatever reason, and now have an older baby but would still like to capture this fleeting time.
Please share this with anyone expecting a new wee family member and I would be happy to send along more information and pricing.

One of the most common inquiries I receive is “do you travel for newborn sessions?” Over the years since I moved away from Barrie, I have received countless messages telling me that I need to come back to photograph a family’s new baby. I’m so excited to finally say that this is a possibility!
Introducing a brand new service that I haven’t offered before – On-Location Travel Newborn Sessions!
Enjoy the quality and experience that you’ve come to love and expect in the comfort of your own home. Available in Barrie, Orillia, Midland, Penetanguishene, Gravenhurst and Huntsville; you can choose between either my Classic Studio Style or Documentary Lifestyle options to match whatever your vision is for your session. I will bring everything that’s needed to create timeless art pieces so you don’t need to worry about a thing.
Scroll on for more information – and if you’d like to snag one of these sessions for yourself (available Monday-Friday at 10am, best booked well in advance) please click here to fill out the booking form and get the process started! If you have any questions at all, please do not hesitate to Contact Me.
I would absolutely love and appreciate if you could share this information to your social media pages and tell all your friends! As a small business, it is very difficult to keep up on social algorithms and I wouldn’t want anyone to miss this news. Thanks so much!
