I am SO EXCITED to finally have the green light to open for business again as of Monday March 8th 2021! This means that I can go forward with the annual Pure & Simple Baby Mini event for in-studio portraits! Yaaay! 😀
This is one of my favourite Studio Mini Events that I offer. It gives parents an opportunity to capture beautiful, high quality professional portraits of their baby between the milestone ages in their first year of 3 to 12 months of age, at a discounted price. Whether they’re just starting to smile and interact, kick those little feet all over the place, sit unassisted or crawl everywhere, the first year of a baby’s life is, undeniably, the most exciting time of yours, as a parent. These sessions are available all year long, in my studio, but only once a year at the mini session price point. 😉
Interested? Here are some details:
WHEN? Any WEEKDAY in March, 2021 between the hours of 9am-3pm (although for the purposes of disinfecting the studio during the pandemic, I’m aiming for 2 timeslots only, one in the morning, and one in the afternoon).
WHERE? The Raindance Studio in Callander, Ontario. Street address will be giving on confirmation of booking.
WHAT?
HOW MUCH? $140+hst ($50 due on booking, $108.20 due by session date).

Remember back, waaaay back…. At this time one year ago, I was SO freaking excited because drywall was starting to go up in my brand spanking new studio. I had so many big plans and couldn’t wait to see all of the beautiful memories that I could help people create in this space. I managed to use it a grand total of SEVEN times before the world changed in March. Seven.
Even after the initial lockdown lifted, it was hard for me to try and return to “normal” and forge ahead full steam, because I felt deep down that we would inevitably be facing lockdowns again in the not-so-distant future, and so I held back on advertising, filling my schedule, and accepting deposits because I knew how much work it would be for me to contact all of those people and start negotiating whether or not I would need to refund or reschedule (to who knows when) once that time came.
Every single day, I come down to my studio and I just sit here and look at it. It’s such a peaceful, beautiful space that my soul feels comforted being in here; but at the same time I feel such a deep sadness at not being able to use it the way it was intended… and because of the reasons WHY I can’t use it the way it was intended.
I was sitting in here this morning, sipping my coffee, just looking at this corner that I worked so hard to turn into a beautiful “Lifestyle Corner” and the inklings of an idea started to trickle through…
Once lockdown is lifted, I’m contemplating creating a Lifestyle Newborn Micro-Mini Package that would utilize this set and allow me to capture a “Lifestyle” newborn session where parents would be the only ones to touch and move their baby. It would be drastically different from my typical posed studio work, but at least it would be SOMETHING that would still allow me to capture this fleeting time and create beautiful portraits while still maintaining a safe distance. I can also use this set for Mommy & Me Sessions, candid lifestyle Family Sessions, even pet sessions!
I still need to add a few elements to this set, and was thinking about a few Monstera plants… what do you think!? Any suggestions?
Time seems to just be flying by too fast for me to keep up! My mind is still stuck somewhere in August, but the calendar reminds me that we’re mid-way through October, so I thought I’d better open up the bookings for the Tree Farm Mini Event this year! There are only FIVE timeslots available this year, so if you’re interested, please contact me soon!
WHEN IS THE EVENT?
Saturday November 7, 2020. Rain date will be Sunday November 8th, so please hold both dates, just in case. Timeslots run for up to 30 minutes every half hour from 1:30pm-4pm for best light (There are 5 timeslots, total).
WHERE?
North Bay, Ontario. Full location details will be given on booking.
WHAT’S THE DEAL?
$140+hst – Up to 30 minute session (immediate families only, or just your children, or pets… Whatever you need beautiful portraits of! Extended Families will need to book 2 timeslots so that we have enough time).
8 digital files of your choice in colour and black and white, in both print quality and web-format, which you choose from a private online ordering gallery. Upgrade options are available for anyone wishing to have more than the 8 images that come with the package. Files are then delivered via online download gallery as soon as full retouching is complete.
READY TO BOOK?
Great! I can’t wait to work with you! Please contact me to begin the booking process. I will send you a booking contract and styling questionnaire to get to know you and your family better, to help your session go as smoothly as possible. If you contact me and do not hear back, please check your junk folders.
I can’t even believe it’s that time of year again already! I thought I had so much time left before I needed to open bookings for my Fall Family Mini Event this year, but then the crisp weather snuck up on me and reminded me that NOW is the time!
I don’t even need to mention that this year is different than other years for so many reasons… We will be homeschooling our kiddos this year, and as a result, my availability has changed drastically, reducing the number of sessions that I can accept each month. These Fall Mini Timeslots will be offered at a discounted price over my regular minis, as they will all be happening on two days when I have availability. If you require a date that is different from what is offered here, it is possible, but regular rates will apply.
So, WHEN IS THE EVENT?
Friday October 9th and Saturday October 10th. Timeslots run for 20 minutes every half hour from 9am-11am AND 3pm-5:30pm (There are 9 timeslots each day, total).
WHERE?
Callander, Ontario. Full location details will be given on booking.
WHAT’S THE DEAL?
20 minute session (immediate families only, or just your children, or pets… Whatever you need beautiful portraits of! Extended Families will need to book 2 timeslots so that we have enough time).
