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!

Aiden | North Bay & Callander Newborn & Baby Photographer

November 21, 2022  by raindance 

I need to start posting blogs more regularly, as I have SO  many beautiful images that deserve to see the light of day just clonking around on my hard drives!  I mean, of course they’re being enjoyed by my lovely clients too, but they’re so sweet they really should be shared.  😉

As I’m currently pulling together and planning for a one year birthday celebration session in the form of a cake smash (that’s going to be BEAUTIFUL) in the next few weeks, it occurred to me that I never blogged this sweet wee man’s newborn or sitter milestone sessions! So, here we go…

Nearly one year ago, I met newborn baby Aiden and his Mama in my Callander studio for an All Inclusive Newborn session.  These sessions include a parent portion (siblings too if they have them!), 1-2 prop sets, 1 fur set, and 2 blanket backdrop sets.  Most of the time I’m able to make it through all of these sets plus some, but it all depends on how much baby is willing to let me do.  In Aiden’s case, he would have let me pose him forever and a day.  What an amazing little baby!  He was no different for his Sitter Milestone session, either (these are discounted mini sessions and happen between the 6-9 month mark when babies are sitting confidently unassisted, and consist of 2 sets in a colour palette of your choice).  He flashed me giant smiles and showed off those beautiful blue eyes the entire time.  I can’t wait to see how he does with his cake smash – will he be all over that cake like I would be?  Or will he stick one finger in the icing and decide the balloons are more interesting?  We shall see!

If you’re interested in a newborn session for yourself, you can find more information here:  http://raindancephoto.ca/newborn-session-collections-pricing/

If you’re interested in a Sitter Milestone Mini or Cake Smash Session, you can find pricing and packages here:  http://raindancephoto.ca/creative-portrait-collections-pricing/

Enjoy these sweet images, and if anyone would like to book a session for themselves, please contact me, it’s never too early.  I’m currently booking sessions between January-May, 2023 (and I have availability left, at this point.) 🙂

Studio Christmas Minis Now Booking! | North Bay & Callander Baby, Child & Family Photographer

The books are finally open for this years’ Studio Christmas Minis!  These will take place in my studio in Callander, ON and are geared towards babies, children, and families but pets and couples are welcome as well! 🙂  We could even do some maternity on the Magical Tree Farm set, as it’s adult sized!

These will take place from November 1-18 (availability listed in the link below).  There are four packages available to suit everyone’s budget and needs, and there are three sets to choose from this year as well.

Timeslots have been booking like hotcakes, but there are still a few spaces left on Saturday November 5 and 12 (there is more weekday availability, as expected).  If you need one of those weekend timeslots, contact me soon!

Fall Sessions – One Date Left | North Bay Callander Family & Child Photographer

September 29, 2022  by raindance 

Just one date left for Fall Sessions in Callander this year!  If you’re available on Friday October 7th at 5pm and would like to snag the last Fall Colours timeslot in my calendar, contact me now.

These are full sessions (I’m not doing Fall Minis this year because it’s just too crazy trying to reschedule a voluminous amount of families in the event of inclement weather, which we’ve had a lot of lately).  The bonus of full sessions is that you have my full, unrushed, undivided attention for as long as it takes to capture those perfect moments – more poses, more digital files, a USB and colour prints instead of just an online download… you get the idea.  😉

If you’d like to go ahead with booking, please email me at info@raindancephoto.ca or contact me using the Contact Form on this page.

Thank you!

Stephanie

Fall Session Booking Update | North Bay & Callander Child & Family Photographer

September 16, 2022  by raindance 

HAPPY FRIDAY!
 
Have you booked your Fall Portraits yet? Quick booking update for you – since I will be making another trip to Barrie October 2-5, in an effort to not overload myself and bog down my turnaround times again, I am only taking a few more outdoor sessions for the year in October and November. I will not be doing an outdoor fall mini event this year for this reason, but am still offering full family sessions (which are still quick and efficient, they just come with more digital files and more posing options)
 
I’m also working on my In-Studio Christmas Mini sets and will have those open for booking in the next week(ish)!
 
Have an awesome weekend, everyone!
