A year in review — one frame from every session, but the truth is that the story behind these photos is just as important.
This year I grew creatively in ways I used to only hope for.
I finally found consistency in my editing style, and I strengthened the kind of client relationships that make this job more than “work.” Those pieces gave me life.
And then… real life happened too.
I spent months feeling like I was sprinting only to fall behind anyway — until a proper ADHD diagnosis finally connected the dots between motivation, balance, and the heaviness I couldn’t name. On the business side, slow seasons tested my confidence, and once things picked up, I found myself buried under an editing backlog while juggling a part-time job that gave me structure, connection, and space to rebuild my momentum.
I thought about quitting more times than I’ll ever admit out loud.
But every time I came close, something in me pushed back — a reminder that I’ve still got it, even as life shifts and I grow older. I learned I’m allowed to start again, that my mistakes don’t define me, and that resilience isn’t loud… sometimes it’s just quietly getting back up and showing up anyway.
To everyone who trusted me to tell their story this year — thank you.
Your support kept this little business of mine alive and gave me room to rediscover my spark. If you’d like to create together again in 2026, or if it’s finally your turn to be on the other side of the lens, I’d be honoured to capture your moments when the time feels right.
Here’s to growth that doesn’t always look pretty, work that still matters, and a New Year that I’m walking into with both feet planted and my camera ready.

2024 was a year full of the challenges and ups and downs that I know many small businesses have faced lately. I know the economy hasn’t been wonderful, and that makes me even more grateful to each and every one of you for choosing me, for trusting me to capture your special moments and memories. I very much look forward to continuing to grow through these challenges, and I have so much hope and vision for the future of Raindance Photography.
2025 will be a year of personal and professional growth for me. I have so much planned – from an entire years’ line up of Mini Events to investing in professional development and honing my skill. I am looking forward to spending time in all of my favourite places between Barrie, Midland, Penetanguishene, Callander, North Bay and beyond photographing all of your beautiful smiling faces; your sweet, brand new squishy newborns, and your favourite furry friends too!
I am wishing you all the warmest wishes for a safe and Happy New Year and health and abundance for the year to come.
Love,
Stephanie, Your Photographer 😉

Happy Monday!
I’m counting down the Mondays I have left in my Studio. Leaving here will be bittersweet, for sure. Over the next few weeks I’m going to be sharing some of my favourite moments that I’ve captured in my Studio over the last year.
If you’re expecting, or know someone who is, I have a handful of newborn session timeslots available, on select Mondays at 10am before the end of June. Best to book now to secure your space! You can find Collection Information here: https://raindancephoto.ca/2024-newborn-collections-pricing/
and if you’d like to go ahead with booking, just Contact Me and we’ll get the ball rolling!
Have a great day everyone! (And feel free to share this info with any friends who might need a newborn photographer between now and June!)

Sleepless nights, endless worry, pride beyond measure, and love to the moon and back… Nobody quite prepares us for the pendulum of emotions that comes along with Motherhood. It’s overwhelming and all-consuming, and we wouldn’t have it any other way. For many of us, we began feverishly documenting our children’s lives before they had even made their appearance Earthside, and if you are anything like me, you have 10 million photos of your children (this year alone), and maybe 5 of them include you. And it’s probably a selfie.
Mama, I can help you to remedy that situation. You might not feel like you “look good” in front of the camera. Maybe you want to lose a bunch of weight first. Let me be real with you though (from someone who has been trying to lose that pregnancy weight for the last 14 years) Exist in photos for your children NOW. Every step of their lives, be in those photos with them, despite how you feel about your physical appearance. I promise you, your children love you just the way you are. One day, they will look back on photos of you with them and see the you that they love, the connection that you share, and not a single flaw that you feel every time you try to wrap your head around stepping in front of the lens.
