Ava’s Lifestyle Newborn Session | North Bay & Callander Newborn Photographer

January 21, 2020 by raindance

Late last year, I had the pleasure of meeting sweet little newborn Ava and her family in her Grandparents’ home in North Bay for a lifestyle newborn session. As you can see from these images, lifestyle newborn sessions take place in your home, using your surroundings as your backdrop; setting the scene for real, candid, raw emotion in your portraits. This session also included a Memories in Motion Film (LOVE these!)

I will continue offering Lifestyle Sessions in client’s homes, as I love them dearly. I have to share some exciting news, though! MY STUDIO in Callander is going to be complete and ready for business SOON! Like in the next 2 weeks(ish) soon! I am so excited, I can hardly contain myself! I will be offering a bunch of Grand Opening Promotional Mini Events – if you don’t want to miss them, I highly suggest subscribing to this blog (at the bottom of this website) or following my Facebook Page, as I will post here as soon as booking is available for those discounted events!

For now, please enjoy Ava’s Lifestyle Newborn Session!

And here are some of our favourite images from her session!

Winter Portraits | North Bay & Callander Photographer

January 12, 2020 by raindance

I know, I know… It’s kind of chilly in the winter and the sun doesn’t shine a whole lot. You know what though? It’s SO BEAUTIFUL! Where we live, here in the North Bay area, is so so so beautiful. Maybe it’s because I’m new to the area that I’m seeing all of this glorious beauty still… or maybe I’m crazy? LOL! Either way, if your family is the outdoorsy type that loves winter, why not consider some Winter Portraits?

Packages start at just $160+hst (you can find full pricing by clicking HERE, ON MY PRICING PAGE). 🙂

My little Snow Queen rocked it for me yesterday – I couldn’t pass up shooting in the beautiful falling snow, so I told her what I had in mind and she was aaaallll over the opportunity to be my little model! Out to the back yard we went (she wore winter boots, and changed into the heels when we were in position). We didn’t even move from the one spot we were in and the end result was so many beautiful pictures that I want to wallpaper my house with! Should probably get my boy child out there for a matching set so he doesn’t feel left out… 😉

If you’re interested in a winter session for yourself, please Contact Me! I’d love to hear from you! 🙂

PS: If you have a little Snow Queen that fits Size 8-10 girls, this beautiful green dress, crown, and shoes are part of my studio wardrobe and you are welcome to use it for this exact same session! Just let me know!

Maddilyn | North Bay & Callander Newborn Photographer

December 16, 2019 by raindance

I am SO.FAR.BEHIND on sharing some of my favourite newborn sessions! I met with this little lady a while back and she was a total gem to work with. Slept like a dream, and when she did wake, she gave me the most hilarious series of faces ever!

My studio completion has been delayed for yet another month, due to unforeseen construction circumstances. I’m DYING to have it set up and running again! But, for now, I am still bringing my little mobile studio to client’s homes in the North Bay Region for studio style newborn and cake smash session, and Lifestyle Portrait Sessions are becoming more popular as well!

If you’re interested in booking a session, please Contact Me and we can set something up!

Welcome Levi | Callander & North Bay Newborn Photographer

November 27, 2019 by raindance

There are some newborn sessions where babies are so sleepy, I never see the whites of their eyes. Then, there are some newborn sessions where I’m given the sweetest show of all of the most adorable facial expressions you can imagine – Levi’s session was one of these! He came in to my Studio super sleepy, and slept through all of his family and sibling portraits. When the time came for his solo segment, he was more interested in my camera and his surroundings than the backs of his eyelids. 😛 This gallery should be reassurance to parents that no matter how your baby decides to be during your session, we’re getting beautiful portraits no matter what! 🙂

If you’re expecting in December, and live in the North Bay area, my current pricing includes TWENTY digital files (twice as many as usual) AND a complimentary Memories in Motion Film (See examples of Studio Style and Lifestyle Examples). All sessions taking place in December will take place in the comfort of your own home (even the Studio Style sessions)! By January, 2020, my brand new Callander Photography Studio should be up and running and ready for all of your smiling faces! I am accepting newborn bookings from January to March at this time as well, and I will honour my current newborn promotional pricing, which includes the 20 digital files of your choice when you book your session in advance, as newborn sessions are best booked while you’re still expecting.

Please contact me for more information, or to book your session!

Welcome Baby K | North Bay & Callander Newborn Photographer

November 18, 2019 by raindance

Clean. Crisp. Classic. When this sweet little man’s parents requested classic black and white with dark wood accents for his studio newborn session, I KNEW it would be one of my favourites! I love pops of colour and natural organic tones, but every once in a while I’m so excited when I get to do a purely classic session like this one. This particular session was a dream… he slept when I needed him to sleep, and he woke up at the end to capture some adorable images of all of his many little faces.

Did you know that newborn sessions are best booked while you’re still expecting? I like to see babies in the first 5-14 days of life to ensure the sleepy, squishy poses that you see in my portfolio. I typically see newborns in my Studio, for sessions like this, but as my current studio is still under construction, with an expected grand opening of January, 2020, I am currently taking my mobile studio to clients homes in the North Bay Area!

If you would like more information on newborn sessions, you can find Pricing HERE. If you want to chat with me to make sure that I’m the best fit for you and your family, please don’t hesitate to contact me!

Welcome Hannah | North Bay & Callander Newborn Photographer

November 15, 2019 by raindance

Right before I made the move to Callander from Barrie, I received an inquiry for maternity and newborn portraits from a brand new client who I knew I was going to hit it off with right away. Not only could I tell that this Mama had my kind of sense of humour, but we had something else in common that I actually found myself yelling out “NO WAY!” to nobody in particular as I sat all alone in my old studio in front of my computer. (And no, it wasn’t the fact that both of our husband’s are named “Brian”…) 😛

“My old photographer sent me your way” she said. “PS. I noticed your new address as of May 30th…This was OUR first home before we sold it to the people you would have purchased it from!”

I couldn’t wait to meet this family, so when that finally happened for their maternity session in Callander in September, I shot their session, and then we all came back to my new house (their old house) where we chatted on the front lawn until the sun went down. They booked their newborn session shortly after that, and I think it was pretty nostalgic for them to have it happen in the same place where all of their previous sessions had taken place before me.

Their newborn session took place in October, after baby Hannah arrived. The session was fabulous, and I thank this family profusely for putting up with the sounds of construction during their session that are continuing around here even today (thankfully they had a VERY cooperative newborn!) 😛 Their newborn session was the very last one that I did here before construction noise and debris became too much to continue having clients until the addition is complete (in case you wondered why I’m not offering indoor Christmas Minis this year, that’s why…) For the remainder of 2019, I will be visiting clients in their homes for their newborn sessions (both studio and lifestyle varieties), and I have a few spots left in December. Newborn sessions are best booked while you’re still expecting, so if this sounds like you and you would like to snag some space in my December calendar, please CONTACT ME! 🙂

Here are some of our favourite images from Miss Hannah’s Newborn Session – as well as a little Memories in Motion Film to help her and her parents remember those early days. 😉 Enjoy!
