I don’t usually do discounted family mini events outdoors, but I’m absolutely DYING to get back outside after being cooped up all Winter, so I figured, why not!? To kick off this season, I’m offering one day (4 time slots) of discounted outdoor minis ($50 off my usual pricing). If you’ve been on the fence about booking a family session this year to update your portraits (or maybe you’ve never experienced a professional photo session before), grab one of these before they’re gone!

WHEN: Saturday May 13th, 2023 | Time slots at 6pm, 6:30pm, 7pm & 7:30pm
WHERE: Corbeil, ON (exact location to be given on booking confirmation).
SET: Outdoor spring backdrop, hopefully without rain! 🙂
COST
Regular Mini Collection: 30 minute session, 8 photos* delivered via online download, private online ordering gallery | $200

The books are finally open for this years’ Studio Christmas Minis! These will take place in my studio in Callander, ON and are geared towards babies, children, and families but pets and couples are welcome as well! 🙂 We could even do some maternity on the Magical Tree Farm set, as it’s adult sized!
These will take place from November 1-18 (availability listed in the link below). There are four packages available to suit everyone’s budget and needs, and there are three sets to choose from this year as well.
Timeslots have been booking like hotcakes, but there are still a few spaces left on Saturday November 5 and 12 (there is more weekday availability, as expected). If you need one of those weekend timeslots, contact me soon!
For full details and booking information, please click here: http://raindancephoto.ca/2022-christmas-mini-sets-collections/
Hope to see your smiling faces in November! 🙂

Just one date left for Fall Sessions in Callander this year! If you’re available on Friday October 7th at 5pm and would like to snag the last Fall Colours timeslot in my calendar, contact me now.
These are full sessions (I’m not doing Fall Minis this year because it’s just too crazy trying to reschedule a voluminous amount of families in the event of inclement weather, which we’ve had a lot of lately). The bonus of full sessions is that you have my full, unrushed, undivided attention for as long as it takes to capture those perfect moments – more poses, more digital files, a USB and colour prints instead of just an online download… you get the idea. 😉

If you’d like to go ahead with booking, please email me at info@raindancephoto.ca or contact me using the Contact Form on this page.
Thank you!

Anyone who actually reads my posts is about to be saying “What!? Steph, make up your MIND already!” and I’ll be over here nodding along with you, because you’re right. I’ve flip flopped and just about committed business suicide for the last year or more, and it’s been an annoying, nauseating ride.
I’m about to get real & vulnerable, so bear with me. When I moved North, I couldn’t WAIT for my studio to be built so that I could begin to rebuild my business. I was so excited when it was completed in February, 2020 – I couldn’t wait to open my doors to meet all kinds of new people who might become part of my new client base. When the world flipped upside down in March, 2020, and made that impossible, I entered a downward spiral that I didn’t even recognize for a long time.
Not being allowed to work, I felt like I lost my identity. By the time the roller coaster had been going on for nearly two years, I’d completely forgotten who I was, what I loved, what made me happy; and had no bloody clue what I wanted to do with my life. I kept trying to fall in love with my job again – photography has always been one of the biggest loves of my life, but I just couldn’t find the passion. By January of this year, I had decided that I was going to close my business for good. Give it up forever. Walk away from everything that I’ve worked so hard for over the past decade. I cleared my calendar, turned away bookings, retreated inward in a way that I’ve never done before. It did not feel good.
Finally, one day this Winter, after suffering far too long, I picked up the phone and called my doctor. I was diagnosed with Major Depressive Disorder, and was prescribed meds and CBT. I felt like a failure. I felt ridiculous that I needed to ask for help from someone else. I especially hated the idea of antidepressants. Part of me is embarrassed to admit all of this, but another part knows that if this story can help even ONE other person to recognize this in themselves and seek out the help they need, then putting myself out there is worth it. My doctor tells me that mental health struggles are on the rise in an incredible way these days, and there is no shame in asking for help.
Looking back now that I’m feeling better, I can’t believe I thought that asking for help meant that I’d failed myself somehow. I can’t believe that I spent so long spiraling downwards that I just about threw everything away. This week, I stood in my studio, which I’ve recently announced that I was closing and felt my passion creeping back in, renewed like fire, like I haven’t felt in a long time. I have all kinds of new ideas that I can’t wait to try, and more than anything I feel EXCITED about the idea of REOPENING MY STUDIO DOORS again, and that feels pretty damn good. 🙂
If you’ve read this far, thank you! Thank you for your continued support, love, and understanding. If you’ve been following me on this roller coaster, I cannot thank you enough for always having my back even when my decisions didn’t make a lot of sense. The Studio will be reopening in May, and I will FINALLY be able to release those Grand Opening Specials that I never had the opportunity to launch two years ago!
Stay with me peeps, this is going to be good!
Much love,
Stephanie
Muah!
FINALLY! Booking is NOW OPEN for Studio Christmas Minis! This year, we have two sets for you – both fully interactive! T’was the Night Before Christmas is made for snuggles and cuddles. Bring your favourite Christmas book, teddy, and dress in festive jammies (if you want!) Winter Wonderland is full of SNOW (the warm kind 😉 ) and kiddos get to throw snow, blow snow, and even maybe have a little (tiny) snowball fight!
There are also two package options this year! One for those who know they just need handful of beautiful images for Christmas cards and gifts, and another for those of you who know you’ll never be able to narrow it down to a handful and want to pre-purchase them all! The All Inclusive package offers an early-bird savings of $140 over upgrading at the time of your ordering session, for those of you who love a good deal. 😉
WHEN? This year, there is no set date for this “event”! The sets will be up from now until November 7th. When you book, please note THREE possible dates and times that work best for you and I will find something mutually agreeable in my schedule. I am available Monday-Thursday 2pm-5pm, Fridays 9am-5pm, and Saturday October 30th and Sunday November 7th. 🙂
WHERE? The Raindance Studio in Callander, Ontario.
WHAT ARE THE PACKAGES?
BASIC – 20 minute mini session, private online ordering gallery, 5 digital files of your choice delivered via online download and 50% off Holiday Cards – $140+hst
ALL INCLUSIVE – 20 minute mini session, private online ordering gallery for prints and products (if you’d like), ALL DIGITAL FILES (minimum 30) without needing to choose, delivered via USB with matching 4×6 colour prints, & 50% off Holiday Cards – $350+hst.
HOW CAN I BOOK?
Click this link, fill out THIS BOOKING FORM, and wait for me to contact you to confirm your session date! 🙂 $50 deposit is required to hold your space (remainder of package fee including hst is due by the day of your session).

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!
