Well, busy season is finally starting to come to a close (phew!) which means that I can sit back and enjoy the holiday season, catch up on some blogging, and plan for the New Year!
For the last three years, my year has ended with a cake smash (this year it will end with a newborn) so I thought that today I would share a super fun cookie monster themed cake smash that I did back in the Summer for a super special little guy! I was over the moon excited when mom sent me this theme as an option for Reid’s cake smash, and I was even MORE excited when Reid came in and loved every second of it! I just love cake smashes – watching these tiny humans experience new tastes and textures for the first time is always a riot, you just never know what sort of reaction you’re going to get! I couldn’t believe how fast one year flew by… it seemed like just a few days had passed since Reid’s Newborn Session (see that HERE) before he was suddenly ONE!

The week before school started in September, I met up with this fabulous family to update their family portraits. I feel like when I say “update their portraits” it sounds so impersonal… technically, that’s what I’m doing… but what I’m REALLY setting out to do is more magical than that… Every portrait session I go in to, I’m going in with the goal of capturing the essence of a person’s soul – the deep connections that each person has with other members of their family… the LOVE that runs throughout a family unit. I LOVE being able to connect with each child to draw out their true spirit, to capture it forever in a photograph (and anyone who’s ever worked with me knows that my inner goofball comes out to make this happen!) 😛
There is nothing more special for me than sitting down with clients a few weeks after their session and watching their reactions as they see their images for the first time. I’ve seen tears of joy, laughter, and life-changing revelations when parents see just how their children SEE them for the first time. Sometimes, we are so caught up in the race of every day life that we forget to slow down and see how those little eyes see us, as parents. Photographs freeze those fleeting moments for you to cherish for a lifetime. Those moments are why I am so very passionate about what I do. If you would like me to help you preserve some of these moments, please Contact Me today – my calendar is nearly full from now until the New Year, and I am holding a $200 off promotion until I’m fully booked! I look forward to hearing from you! 🙂

It’s been a few months now since I met baby Shea and his parents in my Barrie Photography Studio for his newborn session. He was such a laid back, sweet, and relaxed little dude, I absolutely loved every minute of our session together!
I can’t wait for my next round of newborns, which are coming up in November. I am still taking a few more newborn bookings before the New Year, so if you are expecting and would like to receive $200 off of your session, please contact me today to book!

My year started out this year with mostly girl newborns. That came to an abrupt halt by the end of February, and every single newborn I’ve seen since has been a boy… with the exception of sweet little Tessa! I saw this little chicky in my Barrie photography studio back in mid-August, and she was an absolute dream to work with! At this point, I think all of the newborns I have booked in to the Fall are Team Green… I’m hopeful that I’ll get to see some more little gals before the year is out (although I do love little boy snuggles too!) 😉
If you’re expecting, book today to receive $200 off any package of your choice!

It’s about that time of year again where I start seeing A LOT of messiness here in my little photography studio! On this day, I met up with sweet little Paris to celebrate her first birthday with a Breakfast at Tiffany’s inspired set! I was so honoured to be able to watch this little ball of awesomeness grow for the first year of her life, from her newborn session all the way through to her first birthday portraits. That first year always amazes me so much… how one tiny human can grow and change SO MUCH in the blink of an eye. One day they’re brand new, curled up and sleepy with that new baby smell… and the next they’re starting to talk, walk, and show off for the camera.
If you’re expecting, or are looking for an awesome way to document your new baby’s first year (or even their first birthday!) now is a GREAT time to book, as I am having a Limited Time Promotion! $200 off any package of your choice. Contact me for more information or to book your session. I can’t wait to hear from you! 🙂

It was the beginning of Summer holidays when I first met baby Connor here in my Barrie Photography Studio… he was an absolute DREAM to photograph, slept the whole time and never made a peep! I loved the neutral colour palate of creams, browns, and soft blues that we went with throughout his session.
Are you expecting? I’m currently running a Fall Promotion – $200 off any package of your choice when you book your session with me. This is a limited time offer, so take advantage while it lasts!
I recently photographed this gorgeous family at The Beach here in Barrie. They were the second last session of the summer before school started again, and I couldn’t believe how much the girls had grown over the last year! I have been fortunate enough to be photographing this family for a while now, and have absolutely loved watching them grow!
The weather is starting to change, and I think my remaining days at the beach this year are numbered, so I’m enjoying them while I can! I now only have THREE dates left for the outdoor Fall Family promo, so if you’re interested please don’t wait to book or you might miss out! Contact me today to book!
Since I’m really excited about the imminent changing of the leaves and the onset of Fall colours, I thought I’d share with you a session from last year that I never did have a chance to share earlier! I met up with the Boate Family one chilly Fall evening to update their family portraits. The leaves last year took their time changing colours, but luckily there was SOMETHING for us to work with on that particular evening! 🙂 There’s just something about throwing around dead leaves that brings kids and adults alike so much JOY! 😛
Have you booked your Fall portraits yet? I know back to school time is always crazy for families and booking your portraits is the last thing on your mind, but I have only FOUR timeslots now remaining for outdoor family sessions for the Fall. I am providing a $200 discount on any of my packages to the next four clients to contact me to book those timeslots! This time of year is so popular because Christmas is right around the corner, and grandparents LOVE receiving pictures as gifts!
Interested in booking? Contact me today!

It’s been nearly a year since I met up with this fabulous family for a Fall Photo Session here in Barrie! The colours last year were late, but these guys were lucky to have some fall leaves to play in during their session! I love this time of year so much… warm, earthy colours; sweaters and jeans (if it ever cools down, lol), pumpkin spice lattes, turning on the fireplace for the first time! I do love summer, but I LOVE Autumn more!
I currently have 6 remaining timeslots available for Fall colours – and because I love these sessions SO MUCH I have decided to offer a limited time promotional $200 OFF ANY PACKAGE for those 6 sessions only! Interested? Mention this blog post when you email me to receive the promotional price! Please email me to book your session (info@raindancephoto.ca)

At the beginning of the Summer, I met up with this gorgeous Mama, then expecting her second son, to help her photographically document her pregnancy. Not long later, she returned with sweet baby Ethan, who was an absolute DREAM to photograph! His big brother was so smitten with him, it was absolutely adorable and touching to watch the love that these three all had for one another. I am honoured to have the pleasure of documenting Ethan’s entire first year as he grows!
When new clients book a session with me, I am frequently asked “Just how many images come with the purchase of the Entire Gallery?” The answer is that the amount varies from session to session. But usually between 35-60 images per session… as you can see below, Ethan’s Mama ended up with A LOT of gorgeous images to help her remember this special time.
And now, here is this gorgeous Mama’s maternity session and Ethan’s newborn session! Enjoy!
