Barrie Photography Studio
2018 Mommy & Me Mini Event | Barrie Photography Studio
Moms. This one is for you. If you’re like me, you probably have a photo album each year that has maybe ONE photo of you and your kids together. It’s probably a selfie, too.
That’s why, each year around Mother’s Day, I like to have a special event just for moms to get out from behind the camera and in front of my lens instead! Let me help you document you and your children together, so that you can see the love in their eyes when they look at you. So that you can remember forever just how loved you are!
This years’ event will take place from April 30th to May 5th, and May 7th to 11th from 10am-2pm. Each session is 20 minutes in length and comes with your choice of 3 digital files with print release as well as a 5×7 colour print of each one. Upgrade options are available, if you’d like. Cost is just $150+HST.

I look forward to seeing all of your smiling faces! 🙂

Lilirosa | Barrie Newborn Baby Photographer
I love, love, love photographing babies, children, and families of all ages… but it’s no secret that I have a soft spot for newborns. There’s just something about these tiny, fresh little humans that is so amazing, mesmerizing, and inspiring to me – I will never tire of photographing babies in the first 14 days of their lives. The way their legs still curl or stretch into the same positions they were in for 9 months, the way the light glints off of their pouty little lips… the soft, downy layer of hair that will disappear all too soon.. and even the dry little flakes of skin that will shed and be gone just a few days later.
Newborn photos are so important because this is, literally, THE most fleeting time in your little one’s life. By the time you see your portraits for the first time, your baby will already be so much different than they were at the time of your session. My purpose is to document every little bit of your tiny miracle, so that in your sleep-deprived, foggy state of new-parenthood, you will have something to look back on and cherish forever. I know it feels like you’ll never forget this time… and you won’t… but it will get a little bit foggier as the years pass by.
If you are expecting, now is the best time to book your session to ensure that you are able to snag a timeslot. Because of the unpredictable nature of when newborns will actually arrive, I only book a handful each month so that I can guarantee them a spot whenever they decide to make their appearance. 🙂
Feel free to contact me using my Contact Form to inquire about or to book your session today. 🙂 And for now, enjoy Lilirosa’s newborn gallery – she was the very first newborn that I saw when my brand new space opened back in October.

Cali | Barrie Baby Photographer
So many sweet, happy, squishy babies in their first year that I had the opportunity to work with over the last little while! This little lady came to visit me for her first year portrait session. We kept it sweet and simple and I just love how the simpleness of each image highlights the pure, innocent sweetness that is her at this fleeting time in her life.
I’ve been posting about this promotion all week now, but if you missed it and know anyone who has a 6-12 month old little one who might love to take advantage of this fabulous promotion (click HERE for more info) please feel free to pass this along to them! I always love the opportunity to get my hands on babies in their first year! 🙂

Iris | Barrie Baby Photographer
Happy, smiley little Iris came to visit me to celebrate her very first birthday a little while back. She wasn’t too sure at first, but it didn’t take long for her to warm up. And when she did… my goodness, those dimples were just the sweetest!
There are so many different options for first birthday portraits now! Some clients choose to keep things simple, some choose to have a cake smash, some choose a donut smash, and some go with apples (I can’t WAIT to share THAT blog!) 😉 If you have a little one turning 11 or 12 months old in the next month and are just looking for a few simple and beautiful portraits, I have a fabulous promotion going on right now.

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!

Violet | Barrie Newborn Baby Photographer
I need to start blogging more often! I have so many beautiful images that deserve to be shared. Maybe that will be my New Years Resolution – BLOG! Anyhow, I will start with Violet. I met her back in the summer time and she was as sweet as could be! She had the most amazing little squishy baby lips ever!
So often, I am asked when the best time is to book a newborn session. My answer is – while you’re still expecting. Usually in the second trimester is when folks contact me to secure their newborn timeslot. We book your timeslot using your due date, usually approximately 7-10 days after. If baby arrives early or late, then parents are in touch with me to reschedule accordingly, but booking early ensures that I have at least 3 timeslots saved for you in my calendar (which is particularly important during peak busy season). I find that I see a lot of babies in February, June, and between September-December, so if you find yourself expecting during those time periods and know you want to secure a newborn session, please contact me as soon as possible to book.

Sweet & Simple First Birthday Portraits | Barrie Baby Photographer
Some people love bright and bold colours to celebrate their little one’s first birthday, and others prefer a more sweet and simple approach. A while back, I was in HEAVEN when this little lady’s Mama told me that she wanted a very simple, all white set with a single clear/white balloon… and when she brought in this amazingly simple cake and fresh greens to accent the set, I was in LOVE!
We’re moving in to that time of year when newborns, babies in their first year, and little one’s celebrating first birthdays dominate my calendar… if you have a little one celebrating a birthday over the Winter, and would like to recreate this beautiful, timeless, and simple set to commemorate their first birthdays, please contact me soon (especially if you’re looking for something in February or April, my schedule is filling surprisingly quickly for those months!)
Feel free to check out my packages HERE. And if you’re ready to book your session, click HERE. I can’t wait to hear from you! 🙂
