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. 😛

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!

New Newborn Package | North Bay & Callander Newborn Baby & Family Photographer

March 5, 2023 by raindance

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!

You can find the full Newborn Collection & Pricing Guide here: http://raindancephoto.ca/newborn-session-collections-pricing/

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.

Happy 2023! | North Bay & Callander Photography Studio

January 11, 2023 by raindance

Happy New Year!

I know, every other photographer published their new year posts on like, January 1st so I’m a little late to the game here, as it’s January 11th already (2023! What!?) But, going in to the new year, I set an intention that I would be present more, not just for my family, but for myself. So, over the holiday break I did just that – I was present in every moment. I enjoyed every second. Savoured it all, to the point where I found myself just… content. I hung out with my kids (made me feel like a teenager again! lol!), caught up with family, visited with people we hadn’t seen in ages, and I loved every second. By the time my kids went back to school this week, I decided to just spend the first few days alone, quietly reflecting.

Going in to 2023, I feel so grateful. I’m grateful for a thousand different things in my own personal life, but I’m SUPER grateful for all of you who support my little business. Whether you hire me to capture your life’s most precious memories, or whether you simply interact with my posts and drop a comment, like or love every now and again; I’m grateful for you. My business wouldn’t exist without you.

2022 was an amazing year for me, finally spreading my wings in this new community that we moved to back in 2019 (but then “you.know.what” happened and so my plans to re-establish my business here were all paused for a long while). Being able to see A LOT of new faces up here and also still travel back to Barrie a few times to see my amazing clients down there filled my whole heart.

I have lots of plans for this year too! I fully intend to slowly ease into this year and spend as much time with my family as I can all throughout 2023. I’m being really cognisant this year to not overbook myself, so that I can deliver a quality product that everyone expects from me in a more timely fashion.

This year, you can expect Studio Mini Events in March (Easter/Spring Minis), April (Motherhood Minis), potentially June (Graduation Minis), September (Back to School Portraits, and Christmas minis will begin), and November (the last of the Christmas Minis). I’m hoping to be able to do some Pet Minis this year as well (with all proceeds going to a local rescue).

So, lots and lots going on! Lots of planning to do. I’m fully booked for January and still have some space in February for anyone looking for a full session (especially Newborns). The best time to book is while you’re still expecting to guarantee you space in my calendar.

Thanks again, everyone! I wouldn’t be here without you. I appreciate you all so much! If you have any questions about anything or would like to book in, Contact me or email info@raindancephoto.ca (if you email me, be sure to check junk folders for a response and follow up if you don’t receive anything within 48 hours).

Have a great day everyone!

Aiden | North Bay & Callander Newborn & Baby Photographer

November 21, 2022 by raindance

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 newborn session for yourself, you can find more information here: http://raindancephoto.ca/newborn-session-collections-pricing/

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.) 🙂

Nova – A Maternity & Newborn Blog | North Bay & Callander Photographer

February 5, 2020 by raindance

A while back, I had the opportunity to meeting a glowing mom, expecting her second baby, and her beautiful little family. I am always super excited to work with clients for both a maternity and a newborn session, as it gives me the opportunity for some awesome Before/After Maternity/Newborn portraits! They arrived for their maternity session at my studio (now located in Callander) with a very typical, busy two year old son, who was full of energy AND smiles for me! A few weeks later, baby Nova arrived, and they returned for their newborn session, which turned out BEAUTIFULLY! Big brother was still wired for beans, and his sibling portraits actually turned out pretty funny, but since we got them even remotely close to one another, looking in the direction of the camera, and smiling, we just rolled with it! Sometimes we have to throw our expectations out the window when it comes to posing toddlers with their new siblings! lol!

A little update that my new studio in Callander is now nearly complete! Just a few finishing touches to complete and I will be in there shooting up a storm! I’ll be ready for newborn sessions as early as next week. If you’re interested in securing your newborn session, I have a special promo coming for the next FIVE people who book! Until I’m ready to release those details to the public, feel free to Contact Me to find out! 🙂
