Aiden | North Bay & Callander Newborn & Baby Photographer
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.) 🙂

2021 Tree Farm Mini Event Now Booking | North Bay Photographer
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!

This is one of my favourite Studio Mini Events that I offer. It gives parents an opportunity to capture beautiful, high quality professional portraits of their baby between the milestone ages in their first year of 3 to 12 months of age, at a discounted price. Whether they’re just starting to smile and interact, kick those little feet all over the place, sit unassisted or crawl everywhere, the first year of a baby’s life is, undeniably, the most exciting time of yours, as a parent. These sessions are available all year long, in my studio, but only once a year at the mini session price point. 😉

WHEN? Any WEEKDAY in March, 2021 between the hours of 9am-3pm (although for the purposes of disinfecting the studio during the pandemic, I’m aiming for 2 timeslots only, one in the morning, and one in the afternoon).
WHERE? The Raindance Studio in Callander, Ontario. Street address will be giving on confirmation of booking.
WHAT?
- 25 minute in-studio mini session on your choice of classic backdrop (white or dark wood). This includes use of wraps and props, which will be coordinated based on your answers to the styling questionnaire on booking.
- Private Online Ordering Gallery 1-2 weeks after your session (with the option to purchase more, for those who want more than the package includes).
