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!
