2023 Christmas Minis Now Booking | North Bay & Callander Child Photographer

October 12, 2023 by raindance

It’s time! The most wonderful time of the year – what everyone has been asking me for since July! This years’ Christmas Mini Event is now open for booking!

There will be three sets to choose from this year (thank you to everyone who helped me choose them back in the Summertime). 🙂 Light & Airy was a crowd favourite followed closely by the Christmas Camper, and I couldn’t resist adding in “Simply Green” for those of you looking for a less “themed” option that is clean and classic, that we can dress up with your own style of wardrobe and have fun with throwing around “snow” or glitter, your choice!

WHEN? The sets will be up from Thursday November 2 through to Thursday November 16th, with timeslots between 8:30am-3pm each day. There will be two weekend dates (Light & Airy + Simply Green will be up November 4 and November 11 from 10am-12pm) The Christmas Camper set is available by special request, at this time.

PRICING: You can find full package & pricing details by clicking here: http://raindancephoto.ca/2023-christmas-mini-packages-pricing-raindance-photography/

WHERE? The Raindance Studio, in Callander, ON. Address will be given on booking.

HOW TO BOOK: To reserve your Christmas Mini Session, please fill out the online booking form and submit it electronically. I will be in touch within 48 business hours to arrange for your deposit and confirm your timeslot: http://raindancephoto.ca/mach/view.php?id=79468

*These sets are for immediate families only and are not appropriately sized for large groups or extended families. You are more than welcome to add a family photo in at the beginning of each session, free of charge! 🙂

Happy 2023! | North Bay & Callander Photography Studio

January 11, 2023 by raindance

Happy New Year!

I know, every other photographer published their new year posts on like, January 1st so I’m a little late to the game here, as it’s January 11th already (2023! What!?) But, going in to the new year, I set an intention that I would be present more, not just for my family, but for myself. So, over the holiday break I did just that – I was present in every moment. I enjoyed every second. Savoured it all, to the point where I found myself just… content. I hung out with my kids (made me feel like a teenager again! lol!), caught up with family, visited with people we hadn’t seen in ages, and I loved every second. By the time my kids went back to school this week, I decided to just spend the first few days alone, quietly reflecting.

Going in to 2023, I feel so grateful. I’m grateful for a thousand different things in my own personal life, but I’m SUPER grateful for all of you who support my little business. Whether you hire me to capture your life’s most precious memories, or whether you simply interact with my posts and drop a comment, like or love every now and again; I’m grateful for you. My business wouldn’t exist without you.

2022 was an amazing year for me, finally spreading my wings in this new community that we moved to back in 2019 (but then “you.know.what” happened and so my plans to re-establish my business here were all paused for a long while). Being able to see A LOT of new faces up here and also still travel back to Barrie a few times to see my amazing clients down there filled my whole heart.

I have lots of plans for this year too! I fully intend to slowly ease into this year and spend as much time with my family as I can all throughout 2023. I’m being really cognisant this year to not overbook myself, so that I can deliver a quality product that everyone expects from me in a more timely fashion.

This year, you can expect Studio Mini Events in March (Easter/Spring Minis), April (Motherhood Minis), potentially June (Graduation Minis), September (Back to School Portraits, and Christmas minis will begin), and November (the last of the Christmas Minis). I’m hoping to be able to do some Pet Minis this year as well (with all proceeds going to a local rescue).

So, lots and lots going on! Lots of planning to do. I’m fully booked for January and still have some space in February for anyone looking for a full session (especially Newborns). The best time to book is while you’re still expecting to guarantee you space in my calendar.

Thanks again, everyone! I wouldn’t be here without you. I appreciate you all so much! If you have any questions about anything or would like to book in, Contact me or email info@raindancephoto.ca (if you email me, be sure to check junk folders for a response and follow up if you don’t receive anything within 48 hours).

Have a great day everyone!

Studio Christmas Minis Now Booking! | North Bay & Callander Photography Studio

October 20, 2021 by raindance

FINALLY! Booking is NOW OPEN for Studio Christmas Minis! This year, we have two sets for you – both fully interactive! T’was the Night Before Christmas is made for snuggles and cuddles. Bring your favourite Christmas book, teddy, and dress in festive jammies (if you want!) Winter Wonderland is full of SNOW (the warm kind 😉 ) and kiddos get to throw snow, blow snow, and even maybe have a little (tiny) snowball fight!

There are also two package options this year! One for those who know they just need handful of beautiful images for Christmas cards and gifts, and another for those of you who know you’ll never be able to narrow it down to a handful and want to pre-purchase them all! The All Inclusive package offers an early-bird savings of $140 over upgrading at the time of your ordering session, for those of you who love a good deal. 😉

WHEN? This year, there is no set date for this “event”! The sets will be up from now until November 7th. When you book, please note THREE possible dates and times that work best for you and I will find something mutually agreeable in my schedule. I am available Monday-Thursday 2pm-5pm, Fridays 9am-5pm, and Saturday October 30th and Sunday November 7th. 🙂

WHERE? The Raindance Studio in Callander, Ontario.

WHAT ARE THE PACKAGES?

BASIC – 20 minute mini session, private online ordering gallery, 5 digital files of your choice delivered via online download and 50% off Holiday Cards – $140+hst

2021 Tree Farm Mini Event Now Booking | North Bay Photographer

October 12, 2021 by raindance

This year has completely gotten away on me. I keep thinking I have way more time to do all the things I want/need to get done, and then I look at the calendar and realize that I don’t. It’s October, time is barrelling on, before we know it the snow will be flying again! Usually, I’m able to get my marketing material out there for promotional events before people start inquiring whether or not I’ll be “doing minis” for the year. This year, I’m so behind the ball that I’ve nearly fully booked the “Tree Farm” event before I’ve even advertised them (so grateful!)

With all that said, I have TWO timeslots left for this years’ Tree Farm Mini Event, which will take place at Black Forest Park in North Bay again.

When? Saturday November 6th, 2021 @ 3:40pm and 4pm.

Where? Black Forest Park, North Bay (in the evergreen trees).

How Much? $140+hst includes 20 minute session (this is plenty of time for one immediate family, I’m efficient 😛 ) private online ordering gallery with options to upgrade your package, 5 digital files of your choice delivered via online download gallery, 50% off Holiday Cards & envelopes.

Is a Deposit Required? Yes, a $50 deposit is required to hold your spot (via EMT, PayPal, or Square for secure online credit card processing) with the remainder due the day of your session. Please do not send your deposit until I have contacted you to confirm that there are still timeslots left for you.

Awesome, how do I sign up? Click this link, fill out the form, submit electronically and I will be in touch within 48 hours: Tree Farm Mini Booking Form

Will you be having Indoor Christmas Minis this year? YES! Because the set is large and cumbersome (think multiple Christmas trees, piles of fake snow, twinkle lights, and snowballs) I haven’t yet set it up so that I can photograph it and show you what it looks like, which is why booking hasn’t opened for these yet. I plan to do this after my next studio cake smash session this week, and will open booking likely next week. They will take place some time in the first two weeks of November. There will be TWO sets (Winter Wonderland AND T’was the Night Before Christmas – think Christmas jammies and snuggles on a Christmas themed bed set). I know some of you are dying with anticipation for these, hang tight! They’re coming, I promise! 😉

For now, here are some of my Tree Farm favourites from last year! Enjoy!
