This warm weather over the last few days has me dreaming of those warm summer nights on the beach, photographing families – kiddos laughing while they build sand castles or splash around on the shore.

Re-Opening Plan Update | North Bay & Callander Photographer
As we near the end of May, I wanted to give you a bit of an update as to wear I stand on re-opening. At this time, photographers are not mentioned in any government documentation, and we have been pushing to be included so that we can be certain about the legalities of going back to work again, when the time comes. As of today, some wonderful colleagues have gotten an answer from the Canadian Government Agency for Essential Services that we may be able to begin taking clients again as long as we can adhere to strict physical distancing guidelines and wear proper PPE while doing so (newborn sessions excluded). No official green light has been given, and we have nothing in writing at this point, but this is very promising news!
Being that we are currently only in Stage 1 of the re-opening plan, I am not going to jump the gun and start having sessions immediately, but rather have decided that I will begin accepting bookings for outdoor sessions to take place after July 6, 2020 (obviously completely dependent on whether or not the numbers situation continues to stay stable or improve). I’m also keeping in mind that even though we may be granted permission to begin shooting again, many of my favourite locations (specifically beaches) are currently inaccessible to gather on, so I’m hoping that this restriction might be lifted by July.
In the meantime, I am working on developing updated studio policies, updated contracts, and acquiring the proper recommended PPE. I cannot WAIT to begin photographing your families again and will be offering a super awesome promotion that will be valid July-September, details will come soon!
To all of my Barrie clients who have sessions booked with me in June, I will be in touch within the next week to discuss options for rescheduling your session to July or August. If you would like to reach out and contact me about this sooner than that, please don’t hesitate to do so!
Thank you all for your continued understanding and support. I miss my clients so very much, and am so excited at the idea of being back at it (in some capacity) soon!
Take care,
Stephanie, Raindance Photography

Sophia | North Bay/Callander Cake Smash Photographer
It’s Friday! I thought I’d end off the week by blogging a fun beach-front cake smash that I had last summer with little Miss Sophia! It was such a beautiful night that night – warm and calm, with the most beautiful orange sunset… Have I mentioned yet how badly I can’t WAIT to get back out there in the beautiful weather!? 🙂
There are now 26 days left until we relocate to Callander, Ontario. All of my beach sessions this year will be happening on North Bay and Callander beaches, and if you’re interested in creative portrait pricing, click here: http://raindancephoto.ca/creative-portrait-pricing-family-maternity-children-babies-3-months/

The Lagrandeur Family | North Bay/Callander Family & Child Photographer
My goal, if you haven’t already noticed, is to blog one session a day for the next 27 days, which brings me to moving day! As I’ve been sifting through all of my family sessions from last summer, it hit me that pretty much EVERYTHING I did (with the exception of I think 2 sessions) were done on the Beach! I think I mentioned in a previous blog post about how excited I am for beach sessions once I move North, as here in Barrie there is but one favourite lonely, beautiful little beach that all photographers in the area (and beach-goers alike) fight to utilize on beautiful summer evenings. I will so very much enjoy having more beaches to choose from! lol!
This lovely little family that I’m about to feature is another that I’ve been working with for years – I’ve been honoured to photograph birthdays, family sessions, maternity, newborn, milestones and cake smashes for them… it’s been a pleasure to watch these boys grow up! Thank you, Mama, for always choosing me! 🙂
If you’ve been thinking of a session this year, all of my outdoor sessions happen 2 hours after sunrise, or 2 hours before sunset (sunset is the most popular though, so if you want one of those timeslots, inquire soon!) My schedule this year in Callander/North Bay will be Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday evenings at 6 and 7pm. I am now fully booked for Barrie for the remainder of May. I have four new digital packages available (and just for this year, I’m including my promotional mini pricing for the North Bay Region as well!) Typically, the promotional pricing is only available for themed events (like the Tree Farm) once or twice a year, but I’m making an exception this year as I rebuild my business in a new area – tell your friends! 😉

The Nolet Family | Callander/North Bay Beach Sessions
Looking back on sessions from last summer, I can almost feel the water up to my hips as I hike my gear up a little higher and capture all of these fun family memories for my clients on the beach! Beach sessions were my most requested location last year, and THIS year, all of my beach sessions will happen in the North Bay/Callander area! I can’t wait to meet new faces and work with new families, and I’m SUPER excited that some of my clients from the Barrie area are already planning their trip North for the summer to catch me for beach sessions up in our new digs! I still have to do some scouting once I’m there to find my favourite spot, but from what I’ve seen so far, the beaches up North are more plentiful and less crowded than the one tiny beach we have to work with down here, so… I’m super pumped!

You’ll notice that my packages all include a certain number of digital files with them. Over the years, I’ve found that my clients want digital files, and so that is what I provide (although I do carry a carefully curated line of high-quality boutique products such as albums, prints, and wall art like canvas and standouts for anyone who wants them). Some people want to be able to print their own pictures wherever they want and send them to friends and family online, and so my packages are tailored for that. Some people know that they want to hang just a few pictures in their homes, and so a package with fewer digital files will suffice for them. Some people know that they want to be able to create an album with ALL of the images in their gallery, and so there are All Inclusive package options for those folks too. And, if you’re booking for the first time and don’t really know how things will turn out or what you really want out of your session, there are upgrade options available once you see your images for the first time (and I’m happy to send along A La Carte pricing to anyone who inquires.) 🙂
If you’re wondering at this point, “well, what DOES an entire gallery look like, anyway?” Then scroll down through this incredibly fun session that I had on the beach with this lovely family last summer! I have been working with this family since before their little man was even born, and every time we get together to update their portraits, magic happens! 😉
Any questions at all, just contact me! I’m happy to chat about your photographic wants and needs!

Nikita | Barrie Pet Photographer
Losing a pet is hard. It’s been three months now since my Reese crossed the Rainbow Bridge, and I’ve been missing her so much. Thinking about her lately has brought me back to another sweet girl that I was so glad to have met over a year ago now, on her very last day. Nikita was such a sweet old gal, who was very unwell. I met with her and her humans early in the morning on her very last day, and to say that this session tugged on my heartstrings would be an understatement. This session left me downright brokenhearted.
People commission me to photograph their pets for a variety of reasons… one of them is to memorialize their loyal companions at the end of their lives. It’s never easy for anyone, but it is my hope that having these moments to look back on can help bring peace. Losing a pet is like losing a friend, and the pain that humans feel when I help them to document these very last hours and days is always palpable. I remember sitting in my car when this session was over and letting myself have tears for their pain. Creating their gallery, I was so happy with just how beautiful the images of Nikita turned out – my greatest hope was that they would help heal their pain over time.
I didn’t realize just how powerful these images were until I entered one into an International Competition and it became a Finalist in the Passion Portraits category out of hundreds of thousands of entries.
Meet Nikita, her eyes will show you just what a kind, brave, loyal and beautiful soul that she was.
