Welcome Baby K | North Bay & Callander Newborn Photographer
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
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!

Limited Edition Fall Mini Sessions | North Bay & Callander Photographer
North Bay – You’ve asked, I’ve listened! I’ve gotten a large number of requests for fall mini sessions this year, and I’ll be honest, I was on the fence about offering them because the season is so short and we’re not at peak colours yet… between trying to coordinate availability amongst myself, clients, Fall colours, and the rain that didn’t seem like it was ever going to let up for a while there, the task seemed daunting. I’m happy now to say that the forecast is looking more promising, the leaves are quickly changing, and I’ve juggled my schedule around a little bit so that I can accommodate THREE evenings worth of mini sessions!
If you’re looking for a handful of gorgeous, fine-art quality portraits at a fraction of my regular prices – now’s your chance! CLICK HERE TO FILL OUT YOUR BOOKING FORM

These sessions will take place on Cranberry Road, Callander.
WHAT CAN WE EXPECT DURING OUR SESSION?
During a session with me, you can expect full direction as far as posing goes! I help to get you and your children into position, I correct your hair if it’s in your face after your hands are positioned, I tell you when to look at me and smile, when to look at your children, I give prompts every single step of the way to take the guess-work out of this for you! When it comes to the kiddos, sometimes they just need to run wild and free, and if this is your child, please don’t fret! I will chase them around and play with them while shooting until I’m satisfied that I have a beautiful gallery to give you to choose from. You can expect laughter, fun, and a beautiful quality final product! If the images below look like something you’d love of your own people, I would love to work with you!

The Shevalier Family | North Bay & Callander Family Photographer
Crisp, Fall air and the sweet smells of baked apples and pumpkin spice make my heart beat faster. Yes, I’m one of THOSE people. I LIVE for photographing families on the beautiful, fiery backdrop of fallen leaves. Last year, I didn’t get the opportunity to photograph many families during peak colours, as I had just undergone surgery. I was pretty excited when I was finally able to pick up my camera again, and when I did, this lovely little family were the first (and only) ones I got to photograph before the leaves had all fallen and the opportunity had passed for other families.
This year, now that we are living in Callander, where the leaves change sooner than they do down South, I’m super excited to have a handful of dates available to photograph families, children, pets and couples during the peak of this season’s beauty.

For now, enjoy a few of my favourites of this adorable family from last year! 🙂

Katelynn | North Bay/Callander Newborn Baby Photographer
As promised, here is the second of two newborn blogs today! I first met this little lady back before Easter, 2018. Her parents had waited and hoped for her for a long time and you could feel the absolute love that this new little family had for each other when they entered my studio! Over the course of the following year, I was honoured to watch this sweet girl grow as she learned to sit and crawl…capturing her first Christmas portraits in a dress made especially for the occasion by her grandmother made my heart feel happy. The “special-ness” of these little moments is not lost on me, when I’m entrusted to be someones family photographer. I take my job very seriously, as these are fleeting times that we can’t get back. And when I say I take my job seriously, that means that behind the scenes, I’m working seriously hard to make sure that this experience is enjoyable and memorable for you and that the end product will be cherished for a lifetime… when you meet me for your actual session though, I’m a total goofball… I sometimes worry what people are thinking as we walk back to our cars! LOL!!! A girl’s gotta do what a girl’s gotta do to get genuine smiles! 😉
Anyhow, the countdown to moving day is still on (22 days left!) I am now accepting bookings for clients who live in or are willing to travel to the North Bay/Callander Region.

Ethan | North Bay/Callander Newborn Baby Photographer
I fell of my blogging wagon! That means that I’ll have to give you TWO sweet squishy newborn blogs today instead of just one! Today, I’ll take you back to last summer… I received an email from the most fabulous husband ever, looking to buy his wife a maternity AND newborn session for her birthday. He recognized that she was the one always behind the lens, and wanted to give her a proper chance to be in front of it for once, to capture this fleeting and very special time in their lives (um, husband of the year award right there!)
So not long later, I met with these awesome folks for their maternity session, and then their newborn session, and then more recently, I saw little Ethan again for his Sitter Milestone session and O.M.G guys… he’s ADORABLE! I can’t believe I haven’t shared these sessions yet.

Sophia | North Bay/Callander Cake Smash Photographer
It’s Friday! I thought I’d end off the week by blogging a fun beach-front cake smash that I had last summer with little Miss Sophia! It was such a beautiful night that night – warm and calm, with the most beautiful orange sunset… Have I mentioned yet how badly I can’t WAIT to get back out there in the beautiful weather!? 🙂
