Qualified Newborn Photographer
Wesley | Barrie Newborn Baby Photographer
I’m not entirely sure where the time is going – but as per usual it’s FLYING by faster than I can even imagine! Back in the Fall, I had the pleasure of meeting little baby Wesley and his mom and dad for their newborn session here in my Barrie Photography Studio. I’d met Mom a few weeks earlier for her studio maternity session, so I was pretty excited to meet their new little one once he arrived!
Wesley was a rockstar, sleeping soundly and also flashing me the sweetest bright eyes ever-so-briefly, giving me some of my favourite newborn images ever!
Are you expecting in July and August? If you’re planning on booking a newborn session for the Summer (I see babies in their first 14 days of life), I only have 2 timeslots left per month at this time. Book your July or August newborn session before May 1st and mention “Wesley’s Blog” to receive a COMPLIMENTARY 11×14 Mounted Print of your choice from your session!
And now, meet Wesley! 🙂

Kylie | Barrie Newborn Baby Photographer
I need to start sharing newborn blogs! The last 6 months have been some of the busiest months I’ve ever had in newborn photography. In the last 6 months, I’ve seen 21 newborn babies (which is usually about what I see in an entire year)! As much as it breaks my heart to turn away a squishy newborn baby, I can only take so many per month in order to guarantee the exceptional level of service that I strive to provide, and so I’ve turned away a few in the last few weeks, with my next availability at this time being in May.
Back in October, just as my new studio was finally completed, sweet little Kylie came to see me for her newborn portraits. I feel like every baby I’ve seen in the last six months has been a total rock star, and Kylie was no exception! I’m excited to finally share her gallery today. 🙂

And now, here’s Kylie!

Emrys & Everett | Barrie Twin Newborn Baby Photographer
Back in October (was it really that long ago already!?) I had the opportunity to work with Emrys & Everett and their amazing Mom & Dad. They were brand spanking new at that point, and oh so little and sweet! My assistant and I managed to do this entire session (you’ll see the WHOLE gallery below) in just under an hour and a half… yes, we gave ourselves a pat on the back. lol
If you or someone you know is expecting multiples, send them my way! Every twin newborn session booked with me comes with TWO sets of experienced hands in safe newborn handling. I’m currently booking sessions in May, June, and July, so if you know you’ll need a timeslot during those months, please email info@raindancephoto.ca today to book!
For now, enjoy a bunch of really sweet newborn photos! 😉

Bennett Turns 1 | Barrie Baby, Child, and Family Photographer
I can’t tell you what an honour it is to meet a family and photograph the very first days of their very first newborn baby. The only thing that is a bigger compliment than that is when that same family hires you to capture their first child’s first birthday, their second child’s first few days and then the first birthday of that second child as well!
A few months back, I met up with this sweet family to help Bennett capture his first birthday portraits. You can see his Newborn Session HERE (it was a favourite of mine!) I’ll be honest, as enthusiastic as big sister Piper was to be in front of my camera, her little brother was NOT feeling the same. Eventually, he found some props I had laying around the studio (a school-inspired set) and a bunch of bright red apples. He proceeded to hoover every apple he got his hands on and was then happy as a little clam. I absolutely LOVE that he, somehow, created his own first birthday set AND inadvertently had an “Apple Smash” instead of the usual “Cake Smash”!
Keep marching to your own beat, little buddy, I love it! 😉

Lilirosa | Barrie Newborn Baby Photographer
I love, love, love photographing babies, children, and families of all ages… but it’s no secret that I have a soft spot for newborns. There’s just something about these tiny, fresh little humans that is so amazing, mesmerizing, and inspiring to me – I will never tire of photographing babies in the first 14 days of their lives. The way their legs still curl or stretch into the same positions they were in for 9 months, the way the light glints off of their pouty little lips… the soft, downy layer of hair that will disappear all too soon.. and even the dry little flakes of skin that will shed and be gone just a few days later.
Newborn photos are so important because this is, literally, THE most fleeting time in your little one’s life. By the time you see your portraits for the first time, your baby will already be so much different than they were at the time of your session. My purpose is to document every little bit of your tiny miracle, so that in your sleep-deprived, foggy state of new-parenthood, you will have something to look back on and cherish forever. I know it feels like you’ll never forget this time… and you won’t… but it will get a little bit foggier as the years pass by.
If you are expecting, now is the best time to book your session to ensure that you are able to snag a timeslot. Because of the unpredictable nature of when newborns will actually arrive, I only book a handful each month so that I can guarantee them a spot whenever they decide to make their appearance. 🙂
Feel free to contact me using my Contact Form to inquire about or to book your session today. 🙂 And for now, enjoy Lilirosa’s newborn gallery – she was the very first newborn that I saw when my brand new space opened back in October.

Violet | Barrie Newborn Baby Photographer
I need to start blogging more often! I have so many beautiful images that deserve to be shared. Maybe that will be my New Years Resolution – BLOG! Anyhow, I will start with Violet. I met her back in the summer time and she was as sweet as could be! She had the most amazing little squishy baby lips ever!
So often, I am asked when the best time is to book a newborn session. My answer is – while you’re still expecting. Usually in the second trimester is when folks contact me to secure their newborn timeslot. We book your timeslot using your due date, usually approximately 7-10 days after. If baby arrives early or late, then parents are in touch with me to reschedule accordingly, but booking early ensures that I have at least 3 timeslots saved for you in my calendar (which is particularly important during peak busy season). I find that I see a lot of babies in February, June, and between September-December, so if you find yourself expecting during those time periods and know you want to secure a newborn session, please contact me as soon as possible to book.

Kendyl | Barrie Newborn Baby Photographer
I think the best part of being a Professional Photographer is getting to snuggle all of the brand spanking new bundles of joy that come my way! They’re pretty much always 14 days old or less – they don’t get much newer than that!
A few months back, I had the opportunity to meet this sweet gal – 5ish pounds of the sweetest little baby girl you ever did see. She was such an angel for her session, and I LOVE how her gallery turned out!
This Fall, I have a few more spaces left on my calendar for newborn sessions. I have more newborns than usual this season (yay!) and even a few sets of multiples in the line up! If you are expecting between now and December (keeping in mind that I am closed for the last two weeks of December for the Holidays), please Contact Me soon to reserve your timeslot to avoid disappointment. Sadly, I refer more newborns out to other photographers at this time of year because my calendar is so jam packed than any other time of year. I book newborn sessions Monday-Friday at 10am (or 11am if you’re travelling from out of town). If you’re interested in more information, feel free to email info@raindancephoto.ca or use the Contact Page of this website.
And now, enjoy some cuteness! 😀
Qualified Newborn Photographer (QNP) Press Release | Barrie Newborn Photographer
I am so incredibly proud to have achieved this professional designation through APNPI (Accredited Professional Newborn Photographers International). I have always been passionate about advocating for newborn safety during sessions. Over the years, I have made an effort to try and educate new parents on the importance of doing their research and choosing a Professional Photographer who can not only deliver a beautiful gallery of quality images, but also handle their brand new baby confidently and safely as a result of knowledge of newborn anatomy and physiology and years of experience and training.
Thank you to APNPI for recognizing my efforts! I look forward to continuing to grow as a Qualified Newborn Photographer with this organization! 🙂
