Baby Mini Session
Pure & Simple Studio Baby Minis | North Bay & Area Baby Photographer
I am SO EXCITED to finally have the green light to open for business again as of Monday March 8th 2021! This means that I can go forward with the annual Pure & Simple Baby Mini event for in-studio portraits! Yaaay! 😀
This is one of my favourite Studio Mini Events that I offer. It gives parents an opportunity to capture beautiful, high quality professional portraits of their baby between the milestone ages in their first year of 3 to 12 months of age, at a discounted price. Whether they’re just starting to smile and interact, kick those little feet all over the place, sit unassisted or crawl everywhere, the first year of a baby’s life is, undeniably, the most exciting time of yours, as a parent. These sessions are available all year long, in my studio, but only once a year at the mini session price point. 😉
Interested? Here are some details:
WHEN? Any WEEKDAY in March, 2021 between the hours of 9am-3pm (although for the purposes of disinfecting the studio during the pandemic, I’m aiming for 2 timeslots only, one in the morning, and one in the afternoon).
WHERE? The Raindance Studio in Callander, Ontario. Street address will be giving on confirmation of booking.
WHAT?
- 25 minute in-studio mini session on your choice of classic backdrop (white or dark wood). This includes use of wraps and props, which will be coordinated based on your answers to the styling questionnaire on booking.
- Private Online Ordering Gallery 1-2 weeks after your session (with the option to purchase more, for those who want more than the package includes).
- 8 digital files of your choice, in both colour and black and white, delivered via online download.

This prize was chosen by our Grand Prize winner.

Ashley has won a $200 Gift Certificate to use towards her next portrait session. Congratulations Ashley!
Secondary Prize 2 – Contestant No. 006– Ryan Shevalier

Secondary Prize 3 – Contestant No. 009 – Ashley Tran (Maybe Ashley should buy a lottery ticket today?) 😛
This prize was also determined by the number of Facebook votes received on their entry. Ashley’s photo of her two beautiful girls received 80 votes. She has won a 16×20” Mounted Wall print of her entry. Congratulations Ashley!

This prize was also determined by the number of Facebook votes received on their entry. Stephanie’s photo of her beautiful twin daughters received 77 votes. She has won a $100 gift card to use towards her next session in 2020. Congratulations Stephanie!
Thanks again everyone! Congrats to all the winners! Looking forward to a great 2020! And remember, if you know someone who lives in North Bay, or surrounding areas, it would make me SO happy for you to spread the word that I am now located in their area. Rebuilding a business from scratch in a brand new town is hard work, and I am so incredibly grateful for all of the help and referrals you’ve all been sending me so far! I love you guys!
Sincerely,
Stephanie

Limited Edition Fall Mini Sessions | North Bay & Callander Photographer
North Bay – You’ve asked, I’ve listened! I’ve gotten a large number of requests for fall mini sessions this year, and I’ll be honest, I was on the fence about offering them because the season is so short and we’re not at peak colours yet… between trying to coordinate availability amongst myself, clients, Fall colours, and the rain that didn’t seem like it was ever going to let up for a while there, the task seemed daunting. I’m happy now to say that the forecast is looking more promising, the leaves are quickly changing, and I’ve juggled my schedule around a little bit so that I can accommodate THREE evenings worth of mini sessions!
If you’re looking for a handful of gorgeous, fine-art quality portraits at a fraction of my regular prices – now’s your chance! CLICK HERE TO FILL OUT YOUR BOOKING FORM
Once you’ve submitted your booking form, please send me a quick email to info@raindancephoto.ca and let me know which if the following dates/times works best for you:
WHEN:
Wednesday October 9, 2019 @ 5:00pm, 5:20pm, 5:40pm, and 6:00pm
Monday October 14, 2019 (Thanksgiving Monday) @ 5:00pm, 5:20pm, 5:40pm, and 6:00pm
Tuesday October 15, 2019 @ 5:00pm, 5:20pm, 5:40pm, and 6:00pm
WHAT’S THE DEAL?
- 20 minute mini session
- Private Online Ordering Gallery
- 5 digital files of your choice, delivered via online download
- $160+hst ($200 discount off of my regular pricing!)
These sessions will take place on Cranberry Road, Callander.
WHAT CAN WE EXPECT DURING OUR SESSION?
During a session with me, you can expect full direction as far as posing goes! I help to get you and your children into position, I correct your hair if it’s in your face after your hands are positioned, I tell you when to look at me and smile, when to look at your children, I give prompts every single step of the way to take the guess-work out of this for you! When it comes to the kiddos, sometimes they just need to run wild and free, and if this is your child, please don’t fret! I will chase them around and play with them while shooting until I’m satisfied that I have a beautiful gallery to give you to choose from. You can expect laughter, fun, and a beautiful quality final product! If the images below look like something you’d love of your own people, I would love to work with you!

Katelynn | North Bay/Callander Newborn Baby Photographer
As promised, here is the second of two newborn blogs today! I first met this little lady back before Easter, 2018. Her parents had waited and hoped for her for a long time and you could feel the absolute love that this new little family had for each other when they entered my studio! Over the course of the following year, I was honoured to watch this sweet girl grow as she learned to sit and crawl…capturing her first Christmas portraits in a dress made especially for the occasion by her grandmother made my heart feel happy. The “special-ness” of these little moments is not lost on me, when I’m entrusted to be someones family photographer. I take my job very seriously, as these are fleeting times that we can’t get back. And when I say I take my job seriously, that means that behind the scenes, I’m working seriously hard to make sure that this experience is enjoyable and memorable for you and that the end product will be cherished for a lifetime… when you meet me for your actual session though, I’m a total goofball… I sometimes worry what people are thinking as we walk back to our cars! LOL!!! A girl’s gotta do what a girl’s gotta do to get genuine smiles! 😉
Anyhow, the countdown to moving day is still on (22 days left!) I am now accepting bookings for clients who live in or are willing to travel to the North Bay/Callander Region. If you or anyone you know is looking for a session, you can find my newest pricing here for newborns: http://raindancephoto.ca/newborn-collections-pricing/ and here for everything else: http://raindancephoto.ca/creative-portrait-pricing-family-maternity-children-babies-3-months/
And now, here is Miss Katelynn’s first year – enjoy! 🙂
