Mini Sessions
Jonas| Barrie Baby Photographer
I met this little guy a while back to celebrate his 6 month milestone. He was SUCH a happy, smiley little guy – every second of his baby session was an absolute pleasure!
I have SO many sessions that I loved so much and never shared – I will be sharing many of them over the course of the next little while.
If you have a little one between 6-12 months of age and would love some Simple & Pure portraits just like these, you may be interested in my current promotion (CLICK HERE for more details!)

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!

2017 Calendar Announcements | Barrie Professional Photographer
Hey everyone!
I feel like I’ve been MIA FOREVER! Our family just finished moving (literally around the corner) and I’ve been buried underneath boxes, boxes, and MORE BOXES! I wanted to take a break from cleaning and unpacking to release my Spring and Summer calendar for booking, since I happened to glance out my window and notice the SUN, and it got me all excited for outdoor sessions once the weather warms up… this time of year is almost magical for me, after being cooped up all winter, limited to studio work, I begin daydreaming of that beautiful summer haze of the golden, setting sun… the warm breeze (and heck, even the mosquitoes, why not!?)
If you’ve been on the fence about booking, now’s your chance to hop into the calendar! We’ve got some awesome promotional events lined up between now and September, see below!
Mommy & Me Promotional Event:
This years’ Mommy & Me Event will be held outdoors during Golden Hour! These sessions are appropriate for mothers and their children (of all ages!)
Want to celebrate mom? Book one of these, you’ll be happy you did! Only 12 timeslots available.

Email info@raindancephoto.ca to book
Rustic Family Promotional Event:
We’re trying something a wee bit different this year! I typically don’t offer family “mini” sessions with the exception of Drysdales in the Fall because I feel too rushed to get through a whole family in only 20-30 minutes. I ALWAYS have requests from families for portraits on a rustic barn board backdrop that I have here in my studio (which is waaaay too small to fit an actual family on, lol) So, this year I have secured an actual barn to use for a rustic themed family event! I CANNOT WAIT for these sessions!
These are FULL FAMILY SESSIONS at a deeply discounted price – Only 4 timeslots available.
WHEN?
Sunday July 9th, 2017 – 3pm, 4pm, 5pm, and 6pm
HOW MUCH?
60 minute sessions during a premium weekend timeslot
10 Digital Files of your choice on USB with 4×6 colour reference prints on deep matte paper (upgrade options available)
Choice of Exclusive In Person Ordering Session OR Private Online Ordering Gallery (24 hours only)
$375+HST (due on booking)
Email info@raindancephoto.ca to book
AUGUST CALENDAR:
Regular sessions in August will be booking Monday-Friday between 10am-2pm AND Tuesday/Thursday evenings at 5:45pm and 6:45pm.
I will only be accepting TWO NEWBORNS for August due to limited availability and flexibility.
The office will be closed for Vacation August 5-13 AND August 26-September 5, 2017.
Email info@raindancephoto.ca to book
Ready to book? I can’t wait to hear from you! Don’t wait, promotional sessions don’t typically last long and once they’re gone, they’re gone.
And now, here are some pretty pictures for you from an extended family session I did last summer. Enjoy! 🙂

Charity Pet Photo Event | Barrie Pet Photographer
If you’re a pet owner, you know that a pet is more than just a random animal roaming around your house. They are your friend and companion, they know when you’re feeling sad, upset, or scared; they motivate you and love you without judgment. Their mere presence is therapeutic.
This year, we lost one of our furry friends (Speckles the hamster) and as a result of her sudden passing, we found ourselves with a new furry friend (Jeff the hamster). Well, Jeff and Spots (our remaining hamster) found themselves making friends one day (thank you to my children) and suddenly POOF! 10 more little fur babies appeared in our hamster cage one morning. Imagine that. Lol
It was witnessing this life cycle that lead me to contemplate our other beloved fur-baby, Reese the cat. She is 15 and aging quickly. I realized that I needed to photograph her now, so that we have a beautiful heirloom of her to cherish forever. This realization lead me to have an intense desire to help other people have beautiful heirloom portraits of their beloved fur babies too!
As such, I will be holding an all-day mini event devoted to Pets only! Every single penny raised will be donated to the Barrie Branch of the OSPCA to help them care for all of the furry friends who are currently waiting for their forever homes.
If you have a pet who would love to have their photo taken on Saturday November 26th, 2016, between 10am-5pm here at the Raindance Studio, please CLICK HERE and fill out the form to book!
Cost is only $40
Sessions are 10 minutes in length
You will receive 1 digital file of your choice via digital download within 2 weeks of your session.
The OSPCA is currently in need of financial donations as well as donations of the following items:
~ X-Strong X-large garbage bags (need to be strong enough to half fill with dirty litter and make it the garbage bin without ripping)
~ 6’ leashes
~ Martingale collars of all sizes
~ fun cat toys
~ Towels
~ Blankets
If you bring in one of these items in addition to your $40 Creative Fee, you will automatically receive an 8×10 print of your pet as well! Also, anyone who participates in this event can enter to win a family photo session of their full family in the Spring! So come on out, support our local OSPCA Branch, receive an awesome heirloom portrait of your fur-baby and be entered to win a full family session! I can’t wait to work with your fur babies!
2016 Christmas Minis | Barrie Baby and Child Photographer
I’ve finally found a few minutes to photograph my little models on this years’ Christmas Mini Set! When I started planning this years’ set, I wanted to do something VERY neutral. Something that only SUGGESTED a holiday or Christmas theme. I wanted something classic and neutral enough for clients to give as gifts and hang in their homes year round without it looking like a Christmas decoration.. the end result was a deliciously creamy set with neutral whites and creams with pops of gold and silver. Clients can make it more Christmas-sy if they want to with brightly coloured Christmas outfits, they can make it comfy and cozy with wintery pajamas, or they can have a classic look with vintage-style clothing in creams, beiges, and browns… that’s the beauty of this years’ simple set!
These sessions are excellent for getting those perfect Christmas card shots, and the special product menu this year offers our cards at a discounted price! Leave with just digital files, Christmas cards, or a shopping cart full of unique gift items for the whole family if you want. I’m proud to be able to offer my clients a complete solution and one-stop-shop experience!
If you would like to snag one of the remaining timeslots, please CONTACT ME today to receive your booking form. There are currently only 2 slots left for Sunday, 4 for Monday, and 8 for Tuesday and Wednesday.
Sessions are $150+HST each ($169.50 total) and include:
- 15 minute session
- 3 high resolution digital files with print release
- Exclusive In Person Reveal & Order Session
- 30% off entire A La Carte menu of boutique print products
- Upgrade options and heavily discounted collections are available
