I have been working with this adorable family since big sister was just a year old, and it’s been an absolute honour to help document all of these children along the way. I was thrilled to meet Little Miss Lennon, the latest addition, who graced my Barrie photography studio just before last Christmas. Lennon was a dream to work with – big sister was clearly thrilled to have a little sister to call her own…I’m not too sure how big brother felt about everything, but for a little guy his age who just lost his “baby of the family” status to his new little sister, he did amazing! 😉
I’m planning on blogging a newborn session a day for the rest of this week – and within these blogs there will be a little “code” for anyone to mention when booking their own full newborn sessions for the months of June, July, or August – mention “Lennon’s Blog” and receive a complimentary “Sitter Session” (usually between 6-8 months of age) for January, February, or March of 2019! I’m only giving away 6 of these and will advertise them more publicly as of April 23rd if they don’t book up before then.
I photograph newborns between 6-14 days of age and it’s best to secure your timeslot while you’re still expecting. So, if you’re expecting between June-August and want to snag a free Sitter Session, contact me today!

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.

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! 🙂

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!

Everyone wants to win something, and I don’t often give away free creative portrait sessions, but I’m desperately trying to raise as much money as I can for a fantastic cause! 🙂
I am so proud to be part of a network of amazing photographers in this area who, each year, donate their time and talent to help raise money, toys, and food for those less fortunate.
My business model is unique in this region, being one of only a few professional photographers who offer Custom Pet Portraiture. As such, my “Giving Back” service to my community is to raise as much money as I can each year to a deserving local animal rescue.
This year, I have chosen to support Street Cats Rescue. Of the original 42 timeslots that were available on Saturday November 25th, 21 still remain. I want to fill them ALL so that I can give as much as possible to this amazing organization!
So, I’m offering a wee incentive to fill those remaining timeslots! I am going to be giving away TWO Creative Portrait packages (valued at $375+hst each) to be used in 2018!
There are two ways to win:
1. Anyone who donates and signs up for the event will be entered into a draw, which I will do live once all spots are filled. (Yes, this also applies to those already booked). Donation amount is only $40 and covers your session and a digital file of your choice with print release and rights to share online. SIGN UP HERE: http://raindancephoto.ca/mach/view.php?id=46563
2. TAG SOMEONE who has a pet who might be interested in this event. The tag must be on THIS ORIGINAL POST to count. IF the person you tag signs up for the event, YOUR name will be entered into the draw for the Creative Portrait Package!
BONUS: EVERYONE who tags a friend on this post will be entered into a draw to win a $25 Starbucks Gift Card (because it’s that time of year when we could ALL use just a bit more caffeine!)
Here are just a very small sampling of portraits from last years’ Pet Photo Event. I can’t wait to meet your fur babies!
Have you signed up for the 7th Annual Christmas Mini Sessions yet? You can read more about them HERE. There are still some timeslots remaining, although space is becoming limited (especially for the Saturday and Monday dates).
This year, we are able to do one family portrait at the beginning of the session, with the remainder focusing on the kiddos.
