The Fine Art Collection Launch | Barrie Pet & Child Photographer
I can’t even tell you how excited I am to finally make this happen! The wheels have been turning on the Fine Art Collection for years now. I have always wanted to create a more luxurious, timeless, classic, evocative line of portraits. The first time someone contacted me and asked to commission my services for “just one portrait”, I thought “well, that’s not how I work…” and that left me sitting there scratching my head and wondering “Do people REALLY want JUST ONE great portrait?” Turns out, the answer is “YES” they do.
Once upon a time (in like, the olden days) 😛 Photographers were commissioned to create portraits. They didn’t host the more lifestyle/candid sessions that we’re so accustomed to nowadays thanks, in part, to digital technology (which I still love dearly, but this is something completely different) – they had “sittings” and the photographs they created were timeless and became heirloom pieces that were passed on for generations. I am in possession of more than one commissioned portrait of grandparents and great-grandparents, and I’ve got to tell you, they are some of our most treasured heirlooms.
I want to bring that service back with a modern spin. When I first started planning for this launch, it was my intention to launch in the Pet Division first (hence why you’ll see more fine art images of pets than the non-furry variety at this time)… but then as I started posting the teaser images, more and more people started contacting me asking if I could photograph their children (and families!) in this style as well. So, as a result, I am excited to be officially launching The Fine Art Collection service today, and offering an AMAZING launch discount to both fur-babies AND my human clients to try out at 50% off (limited spaces available, must be booked during the two weeks listed below.
Want to try the Fine Art Collection yourself?
CONTACT ME TODAY to snag one of the limited discounted timeslots! (Check your junk/spam folders if you don’t hear back from me within 48 business hours – Mon-Fri)
When will the sessions take place?
The discounted launch event will take place July 9-13, 2018 AND August 13-17, 2018 from 10am to 2pm daily.
What’s the deal?
$99+hst is required to book your session. This fee covers your 45 minute session and 1 digital file of your choice via digital download. This is a 50% discount off of regular price!

Kylie | Barrie Newborn Baby Photographer
I need to start sharing newborn blogs! The last 6 months have been some of the busiest months I’ve ever had in newborn photography. In the last 6 months, I’ve seen 21 newborn babies (which is usually about what I see in an entire year)! As much as it breaks my heart to turn away a squishy newborn baby, I can only take so many per month in order to guarantee the exceptional level of service that I strive to provide, and so I’ve turned away a few in the last few weeks, with my next availability at this time being in May.
Back in October, just as my new studio was finally completed, sweet little Kylie came to see me for her newborn portraits. I feel like every baby I’ve seen in the last six months has been a total rock star, and Kylie was no exception! I’m excited to finally share her gallery today. 🙂
If you have any questions about booking a session, please feel free to email me at info@raindancephoto.ca
And now, here’s Kylie!

Emrys & Everett | Barrie Twin Newborn Baby Photographer
Back in October (was it really that long ago already!?) I had the opportunity to work with Emrys & Everett and their amazing Mom & Dad. They were brand spanking new at that point, and oh so little and sweet! My assistant and I managed to do this entire session (you’ll see the WHOLE gallery below) in just under an hour and a half… yes, we gave ourselves a pat on the back. lol
If you or someone you know is expecting multiples, send them my way! Every twin newborn session booked with me comes with TWO sets of experienced hands in safe newborn handling. I’m currently booking sessions in May, June, and July, so if you know you’ll need a timeslot during those months, please email info@raindancephoto.ca today to book!
For now, enjoy a bunch of really sweet newborn photos! 😉

Violet | Barrie Newborn Baby Photographer
I need to start blogging more often! I have so many beautiful images that deserve to be shared. Maybe that will be my New Years Resolution – BLOG! Anyhow, I will start with Violet. I met her back in the summer time and she was as sweet as could be! She had the most amazing little squishy baby lips ever!
So often, I am asked when the best time is to book a newborn session. My answer is – while you’re still expecting. Usually in the second trimester is when folks contact me to secure their newborn timeslot. We book your timeslot using your due date, usually approximately 7-10 days after. If baby arrives early or late, then parents are in touch with me to reschedule accordingly, but booking early ensures that I have at least 3 timeslots saved for you in my calendar (which is particularly important during peak busy season). I find that I see a lot of babies in February, June, and between September-December, so if you find yourself expecting during those time periods and know you want to secure a newborn session, please contact me as soon as possible to book.

Sweet & Simple First Birthday Portraits | Barrie Baby Photographer
Some people love bright and bold colours to celebrate their little one’s first birthday, and others prefer a more sweet and simple approach. A while back, I was in HEAVEN when this little lady’s Mama told me that she wanted a very simple, all white set with a single clear/white balloon… and when she brought in this amazingly simple cake and fresh greens to accent the set, I was in LOVE!
We’re moving in to that time of year when newborns, babies in their first year, and little one’s celebrating first birthdays dominate my calendar… if you have a little one celebrating a birthday over the Winter, and would like to recreate this beautiful, timeless, and simple set to commemorate their first birthdays, please contact me soon (especially if you’re looking for something in February or April, my schedule is filling surprisingly quickly for those months!)
Feel free to check out my packages HERE. And if you’re ready to book your session, click HERE. I can’t wait to hear from you! 🙂

WIN A FAMILY SESSION | Barrie Photographer
Everyone wants to win something, and I don’t often give away free creative portrait sessions, but I’m desperately trying to raise as much money as I can for a fantastic cause! 🙂
I am so proud to be part of a network of amazing photographers in this area who, each year, donate their time and talent to help raise money, toys, and food for those less fortunate.
My business model is unique in this region, being one of only a few professional photographers who offer Custom Pet Portraiture. As such, my “Giving Back” service to my community is to raise as much money as I can each year to a deserving local animal rescue.
This year, I have chosen to support Street Cats Rescue. Of the original 42 timeslots that were available on Saturday November 25th, 21 still remain. I want to fill them ALL so that I can give as much as possible to this amazing organization!
So, I’m offering a wee incentive to fill those remaining timeslots! I am going to be giving away TWO Creative Portrait packages (valued at $375+hst each) to be used in 2018!
There are two ways to win:
1. Anyone who donates and signs up for the event will be entered into a draw, which I will do live once all spots are filled. (Yes, this also applies to those already booked). Donation amount is only $40 and covers your session and a digital file of your choice with print release and rights to share online. SIGN UP HERE: http://raindancephoto.ca/mach/view.php?id=46563
2. TAG SOMEONE who has a pet who might be interested in this event. The tag must be on THIS ORIGINAL POST to count. IF the person you tag signs up for the event, YOUR name will be entered into the draw for the Creative Portrait Package!
BONUS: EVERYONE who tags a friend on this post will be entered into a draw to win a $25 Starbucks Gift Card (because it’s that time of year when we could ALL use just a bit more caffeine!) 
Here are just a very small sampling of portraits from last years’ Pet Photo Event. I can’t wait to meet your fur babies!
Studio Family Sessions | Barrie Family and Child Photographer
Well, it’s that time of year when my outdoor work wraps up and I move the show into the studio for the Winter months. I just did my very last outdoor family session of the year tonight, which is just as well because it was COLD out there, and me and cold don’t really mix. 😛
Family sessions during the colder months are for those clients who adore a more clean, classic portrait. They might be for you if you’re looking for a studio-style family portrait that will stand the test of time above your fireplace and on your walls. My studio can accommodate families up to 7 individuals in size, and pets are always welcome!
2018 Pricing is now in effect, so please feel free to have a peek around this website, and Contact Me if you have any questions at all or would like to book your session! I book Monday-Friday between 10am-2pm, but do have the odd evening timeslot available for those of you who cannot make it during weekday hours. 🙂
For now, here is one of my favourite sessions from last Winter… enjoy! 😉
