2023 Christmas Minis Now Booking | North Bay & Callander Child Photographer
It’s time! The most wonderful time of the year – what everyone has been asking me for since July! This years’ Christmas Mini Event is now open for booking!
There will be three sets to choose from this year (thank you to everyone who helped me choose them back in the Summertime). 🙂 Light & Airy was a crowd favourite followed closely by the Christmas Camper, and I couldn’t resist adding in “Simply Green” for those of you looking for a less “themed” option that is clean and classic, that we can dress up with your own style of wardrobe and have fun with throwing around “snow” or glitter, your choice!
WHEN? The sets will be up from Thursday November 2 through to Thursday November 16th, with timeslots between 8:30am-3pm each day. There will be two weekend dates (Light & Airy + Simply Green will be up November 4 and November 11 from 10am-12pm) The Christmas Camper set is available by special request, at this time.

Fall Sessions | Callander & North Bay Family Photographer
Crisp, cool temperatures. The smell of falling leaves, warm coffee, knit blankets and a good book… Fall might actually be my favourite time of the year (even though I’m not quite ready to give up on Summer just yet!)

Newborn Wish List Sessions | North Bay & Callander Newborn Baby Photographer
I have a bunch of newborn backdrops that I’ve had in my collection for ages, but for whatever reason, I haven’t had the opportunity to use them and I would absolutely LOVE to! As adorable as this little stuffed lamb is, it’s not the same as a sweet and squishy newborn baby. 😛
So! If you or someone you know is due to have a baby in June, this deal is for you! Feel free to share it with anyone else who might be interested. I will only be offering one or two deals per backdrop, so make sure to sign up before your choice is taken. This promotion is for The Wrapped Mini Collection, which includes up to 1.5 hours in-studio, baby is photographed all wrapped up nice and snug on one set, and 8 digital files of your choice (which you choose from a private online ordering gallery). This collection is regularly $250 (including hst) and will be 50% off ($125) when booking one of the sets shown below!
To snag your appointment, please fill out this form and submit electronically as soon as you can: Newborn Session Wish List Booking Form
Sessions take place Monday-Friday at 10am at my Studio in Callander (Terrace Road). If you have any questions or have any difficulty with the booking form, please email info@raindancephoto.ca and I will get back to you as soon as I can.
I will be in contact with anyone who signs up via email, so please check your junk folders if you don’t receive anything back from me within 48 hours.
New Newborn Package | North Bay & Callander Newborn Baby & Family Photographer
Over the years, my newborn sessions have all focused on baby. The new addition to the family, a session to celebrate their arrival and document this special time in a family’s life, photographing baby on multiple backdrops, on different colours and in different props… Some of my packages included the option for family portraits and siblings, but because posing baby on all of the different sets on their own takes so much time and patience, the family segment is always a quick add-in at the beginning of the session and then we move on to focus on baby alone.
I’ve been noticing a gap in my package offerings as of late, particularly for the crowd who has older siblings, and so I’ve finally remedied it! Introducing the brand new “Family + Newborn” Collection!
This package combines everything I know and love about my family sessions AND newborn sessions and rolls them all together into one perfect package so that, in the end, you’re left with a beautiful gallery with everything you need to update family albums and create art walls in your home. Bonus is that because it takes me a bit less time to complete, it comes with a lower price tag as well (not by a lot, but any savings is good, right!?) 😛
The Family + Newborn Collection begins with two different poses of family portraits (standing and sitting), and then a set with just parents and their new bundle. Images of just each parent on their own with new baby are captured, and if there are older siblings involved they get to have their picture taken with each of them as well. Then, we move on to sibling portraits and capture all of those beautiful kiddos together. The one major change to this collection that the other packages don’t have is the incorporation of individual portraits of each child. You’re photographing your brand new baby all by themselves, so I really felt that any and all older siblings deserved to have updated portraits of themselves as well. This is a super important and exciting time in all of their lives, and they deserve to be remembered just how they are, right now, as well.
After siblings have had their time to shine in front of the camera, then it’s baby’s turn. New baby is photographed wrapped, on one solid colour backdrop from multiple angles (including those gorgeous macro (close up) shots of their little features – lips, eyelashes, ears, fingers, toes…) If baby’s temperament will allow, then I peel back the layers of wrap and attempt a few different poses on that same backdrop. The end result is a perfect, cohesive gallery, and I love everything about it. I hope that you all will too!

Newborn sessions are always best booked while you’re still expecting to guarantee that I have space for you in my calendar during days 5-21 of age, but if baby has already arrived and you’d like to inquire about booking a session, I would LOVE to hear from you! Feel free to reach out via my Contact Page or email info@raindancephoto.ca and make sure to check your junk/spam folders if you don’t hear back from me within 24-48 hours.

Motherhood Minis | North Bay & Callander Studio Photographer
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.
This years’ Motherhood Mini Event will take place in April, here are your details:
WHEN: Thursday April 13th, Friday April 14th, & Saturday April 15th, 2023 | 9am-3pm (weekday evenings may be available, if needed).
WHERE: The Raindance Studio, Terrace Road, Callander, ON
SET: As shown in sample images below. White brick & Barn door Boho with lots of greenery.
COST
Petite Collection: 20 minute session, 5 photos* delivered via online download, private online ordering gallery | $99
Silver Collection: 20 minute session, 8 photos* delivered via online download, private online ordering gallery | $140
Gold Collection: 20 minute session, ALL photos (25-35) delivered via online download| $350
*Additional photos may be purchased for $25/each at the time of ordering gallery.

To book your session, click this link: http://raindancephoto.ca/mach/view.php?id=78234

Aiden | North Bay & Callander Newborn & Baby Photographer
I need to start posting blogs more regularly, as I have SO many beautiful images that deserve to see the light of day just clonking around on my hard drives! I mean, of course they’re being enjoyed by my lovely clients too, but they’re so sweet they really should be shared. 😉
As I’m currently pulling together and planning for a one year birthday celebration session in the form of a cake smash (that’s going to be BEAUTIFUL) in the next few weeks, it occurred to me that I never blogged this sweet wee man’s newborn or sitter milestone sessions! So, here we go…
Nearly one year ago, I met newborn baby Aiden and his Mama in my Callander studio for an All Inclusive Newborn session. These sessions include a parent portion (siblings too if they have them!), 1-2 prop sets, 1 fur set, and 2 blanket backdrop sets. Most of the time I’m able to make it through all of these sets plus some, but it all depends on how much baby is willing to let me do. In Aiden’s case, he would have let me pose him forever and a day. What an amazing little baby! He was no different for his Sitter Milestone session, either (these are discounted mini sessions and happen between the 6-9 month mark when babies are sitting confidently unassisted, and consist of 2 sets in a colour palette of your choice). He flashed me giant smiles and showed off those beautiful blue eyes the entire time. I can’t wait to see how he does with his cake smash – will he be all over that cake like I would be? Or will he stick one finger in the icing and decide the balloons are more interesting? We shall see!

If you’re interested in a Sitter Milestone Mini or Cake Smash Session, you can find pricing and packages here: http://raindancephoto.ca/creative-portrait-collections-pricing/
Enjoy these sweet images, and if anyone would like to book a session for themselves, please contact me, it’s never too early. I’m currently booking sessions between January-May, 2023 (and I have availability left, at this point.) 🙂
