Lifestyle newborn sessions like this one allow us to document those early days of your new baby’s life, freezing moments in time for you to cherish forever. These sessions are available in the North Bay area at a discounted price point, OR in the comfort of your own home in Barrie, Midland, Penetanguishene, Gravenhurst or Huntsville.
These sessions are best done while baby is between 5-21 days of age, and are best booked while you are still expecting (although if baby has arrived and you’d like to book, I can accommodate last minute requests, so don’t be afraid to reach out!)
Documentary Lifestyle sessions are also ideal for those families who have missed that first-few-weeks window of new baby’s life for whatever reason, and now have an older baby but would still like to capture this fleeting time.
Please share this with anyone expecting a new wee family member and I would be happy to send along more information and pricing.

It’s about time I start sharing some of the many newborn galleries from sessions I did back in the Winter! I met with Pierce and his adorable family back in February in my studio when he was just days old. They were all amazing – I was especially thrilled with how excited his big brother was to give him snuggles while smiling for my camera!
Just a little booking update that I have VERY limited availability for this Fall season – with no availability in October. I am currently accepting the following due dates:
September – 2 (with possible arrivals no later than the week of September 17th) all sessions must happen before September 28th.
October – None.
November – 3
December – 1 due date, early to mid month only
It is best to book your session while you are still expecting so I can guarantee you space in my calendar. If you’d like to check out pricing, please click HERE. To book your session or inquire for more information, please click HERE.

As I gear up to meet this sweet family again next week for their annual family portraits, I realized that I never blogged little Ethan’s first birthday portraits! I mean, he just turned two last month so I’m only a LITTLE behind the ball on this one, right!? 😛
I’ve had the honour of working with this family since big brother was just a teeny little guy and was thrilled to be able to document Ethan’s maternity and newborn portraits (which you can see HERE) as well.
Last year, his Mama asked me for a super simple cake smash (my absolute FAVOURITE) and I was so thrilled with how it turned out! I’ve been helping so many little ones celebrate first birthdays lately – if you’re interested in a cake smash, donut smash, spaghetti smash, fruit smash, or ANYTHING ELSE you can dream up to help your little one celebrate their first birthday – send me an email, I’d love to help you create this awesomeness! 🙂
For now, here’s Ethan and his sweet little family! 🙂

It has been 7 months since I met these two adorable little nuggets in my Barrie photography studio for their newborn session! They were born two whole months early, so when I got my hands on them, they were already 8 weeks old (I saw them on their original due date! How cool is that?) I typically see newborns for their sessions in the first 14 days of life (21 days is generally the oldest I like to take), but since these two still hadn’t reached their due date yet, my assistant and I were able to work them through an entire sessions worth of posing in an hour and a half! They were rockstars! Thanks to mom and dad for trusting me to capture such a special time in your lives. 🙂
We’re heading into what I like to call “busy season” in September-November, which coincidentally is when a HUGE amount of babies are also due… if you are currently expecting, the best time for you to book your session is while you’re still pregnant. Once baby arrives, during peak seasons, I can’t always guarantee that I will be able to fit you in (as much as I would love to!) I can only take 4 newborn sessions per month to guarantee timeslots to babies who arrive early or late. So, if you’ve been thinking about booking, but haven’t yet, click HERE and cross that one off your To-Do List today!!

I thought I should maybe blog this sweet newborn session from last Fall before I see this family again next month for Jack’s half-year Sitter Milestone session!
I saw little Jack and his family in my Barrie photography studio last November for his newborn session when he was just days old. I had such a streak of luck that week with amazing older siblings giving me absolute GOLD when it came to sibling newborn portraits, and these two brothers were no exception.
Newborn portraits are some of my absolute favourite moments to photograph – they’re only this little once, the time is so fleeting, and by the time you see your images for the first time, they’ve already changed so much! I currently have just TWO newborn spaces left for the Summer. If you’re expecting in July or August and would like to secure a date for yourself, please do so before baby has been born so that I can guarantee you space in my calendar. 🙂
And now, enjoy Jack’s newborn gallery!

Have you guys seen the amazing Summer Promo I have going on right now!? If you haven’t, and you’re due in July or August, you’ll want to jump on this one because I’m giving away a FREE SESSION to the next FIVE people who book their July or August newborn session before June 1st!
What’s the Deal?
Book a Full Newborn Session and receive a FREE “Sitter Mini Session”, which usually takes place when baby is sitting unassisted to capture the milestone, between 6-8 months of age. These complimentary sessions will be booked in January, February, and March of 2019.
Sitter Sessions take place In-Studio, are up to 45 minutes in length, and come with 3 digital files of your choice via digital download with a matching set of 5×7 colour prints. This is a $226 value, free when you book your session with me this summer! (I apologize, that sounded really infomercial-ly, didn’t it?) 😛
Sounds amazing! How much is a Newborn Session?
Newborn Sessions take place in my home-studio in your baby’s first 14 days of life (Monday-Friday at 10am)
Package Includes:
~ Up to 3 hours in studio, full access to prop collection, and professional newborn posing (Includes Family, Sibling, and Newborn portraits)
~ 10 digital files of your choice on USB in colour AND black and white with a matching set of 5×7 colour prints
~ Access to A La Carte and Collection Menu (please Contact Me to see the upgrade pricing menu in advance).
~ $480+hst ($200+hst due on booking, with the remainder due the day of your session).
There are so many Newborn Photographers out there, why should I choose you?
When clients hire me, they love that they can sit back, relax and enjoy their session, knowing that they are hiring an experienced professional newborn photographer with years of experience in safe newborn posing. I have worked with nearly 300 newborn babies in my career, and am proud to be able to offer a truly enjoyable experience, from start to finish. Also, I am certified as a Qualified Newborn Photographer through Accredited Professional Newborn Photographers International, an organization which focuses on newborn safety and education.
Also, Raindance Photography is one of a handful of full-service boutique photography studios in the area – whether you just want digital files out of your session or if you prefer to have someone to create archival, heirloom pieces for you, I can help you with all of your photography needs! I don’t just send you an online gallery and let you muddle through tough decisions all by yourself – all sessions include a private, In-Person Reveal & Order Session 2-3 weeks after your photoshoot where you view your images to the first time in a slideshow set to music on a big screen, and then I am here every step of the way to help you make your decisions, if you need me!
I’m Convinced – How Can I Book!?
That’s great! Fill out this booking form and styling questionnaire and I will contact you within 48 business hours to get you on the calendar!
Think this is a great deal and know someone who’d appreciate it? Share this blog post with them and tell them to mention your name and email address – I have a great new referral program coming soon! 😉
