Tweed NSW Newborn Photography | Bottoms Up Pose

Tweed NSW Newborn Photography | Bottoms Up Pose

One of the most iconic poses…

Bottoms up pose is an iconic pose used in newborn studio photography. The pose consists of gently placing your baby on their tummy. Elbow and knee almost or slightly touching. Slightly raising both their head and bottom. To create a little bit of a squishy look. Lastly your baby’s head will be facing towards the camera gently resting in their hands. This pose is photographed on a posing table using posing beans to support the baby in this position.

Your Photographer can get an array of different perspectives whilst your baby is in this pose. Front on view is by far the most popular. Followed by an aerial shot and macro shots.

Firstly it’s important to consider the training of your photographer before booking a newborn shoot with someone. Secondly the safety of your newborn is of highest priority at our Dreamy Moon Photography Studio. DMP is continually updating our training with annual courses. To ensure our safety skills are up to date to handle your precious newborn.

Studio newborn photography is filled with an abundance of beautiful poses, when done correctly and safely. They hold no harm towards your baby. As baby’s are quite bendy and flexible.

Tweed NSW Newborn Photography | Elijah’s Cake Smash

What better way to celebrate than a cakesmash…

Baby Elijah’s first birthday is just around the corner and what better way to celebrate than a cakesmash! When Elijah’s mumma Sophie contacted us in regards to doing a cake smash, we got to planning immediately. Sophie expressed how she missed out on getting newborn photography or milestone photography photos done with Elijah. That it was important for them to capture his first birthday smashing a cake.

Tweed NSW Newborn Photography | Elijah's Cake Smash

The session:

Sophie, Elijah’s and Nanny all arrived at the studio to capture some fun and candid birthday cake smash photos. The studio was decorated with a sheer white curtain draping in to add a touch of airy and whimsical feels. A natural handmade green garland hung on twinkle fairly lights. Embellished with a naked cake, topped with fresh baby’s breath flowers.

Elijah’s had a ball in the studio! Freshly walking he found himself running around, giggling and chasing balloons. When Elijah spotted the fluffy rug he immediately need to have it. Obsessed with the fluffy texture he cuddled and rolled on top of it. So we definitely had to bring it into the photography set up. It was too cute not to capture him adoring over it!

After a fun time smashing the cake and listening to bluey. It was time to bring out the splash bath and pack up the cake… Boy oh boy, did sweet baby Elijah’s love the splash bath. He was chuckling and popping all the bubbles. His smile was just contagious, he had all of us laughing!

Newborn Photography Gold Coast QLD | You’ll miss these moments

Why does time go so fast when you have little ones? It’s like we blink our eyes and they have grown double in size! Their little hands and toes, the sweet little features on their face. The rolls and the squish. We go to pop them into an outfit and they can barely squeeze into it. And you wonder, when, how… Did you grow so fast. We hold them and look at them everyday and some days are long. But the years, oh the years are so short. In a matter of time they are big an independent and you wonder how did the days turn into memories. The bitter sweet moments, at the time you wished would hurry up. But now you want them back. You want to hold onto those memories and make them last forever…

…And you can, well kind of. Through the lens of photography, you can freeze time. Treasure those memories and turn them into precious keepsakes. The art of turning your memories into forever. Time goes so fast when you have young children, we are caught up in the hustle and bustle of surviving parenthood. The survival guide and constant feeling of ‘am I doing this right’, that it is easy to get distracted. The most precious thing we can have is professional images of our newborn babies and children. Something to look back on and reminisce. Something to hold, flick through and soak in the memories of when they were so little. Because they truely grow so fast.

Best Newborn Photography on the Gold Coast QLD

This sweet boy was so adored during his session! His gentle personality shined through his studio newborn photography session. Mama and dada requested baby blue hues for their first son. Of course I had to run out and do a spotlight haul on some new fabrics for this session. They had some beautiful cream and blue tones, which I thought would go perfectly with this shoot!

The Planning

Keeping it natural and earthy, we incorporated some woven basket props and rattan into the set. Pairing the props with a natural beaded garland and some beige wool. To add texture, layers and depth to the photos. Baby boy fit perfectly in the mohair bonnet I recently ordered. He looked so precious in this setup.

The Session

When it was time to do bean bag poses, baby boy was so calm. When posed, both wrapped and unwrapped were his favourite. A content little one, he slept the entire time when being posed. His favourite position was the bottoms up pose. The baby blue fabric and wrap suited his complexion so well. We can forget about how precious those little newborn hands and toes are!

The newborn phase honestly goes in a blink of an eye. It is such a pleasure to be able to capture the sweet little first moments, for the parents to cherish forever. It is such a beautiful thing to witness our clients experience the Dreamy Moon Photography experience! We were blessed to be able to film some behind the scene snippets of this little man’s session.

South Gold Coast QLD Newborn Photographer | Teodora’s Cake Smash

South Gold Coast QLD Newborn Photographer | Teodora’s Cake Smash

Teodora was the sweetest little girl during her Cake Smash Session. Her dainty little toes and big blue eyes. During this session I wanted to make the main focus on Teodora and keep the decorations to a minimal. By only incorporating a few light and airy pieces such as the moon prop and clear balloons.

The Planning

Liz and I got in contact earlier during the month and discussed all the details of the session. I sent through a few of my inspirations and a clothing guide. We stock a ton of outfits from newborn to toddler in our studio. But it’s always great to be on the same page with our clients. I had picked out a white lace romper and a peach coloured bonnet for Teodora to wear durning her session. The outfit gave off a slight vintage feel. During our planning phase Liz and I spoke about what type of art work she would like from her session. We offer a large variety of art pieces, from wall art to albums. Liz was very keen on creating a family heirloom album.

The Session

Teodora rocked her session, she was so good in front of the camera. When we played her favourite song from Bluey, she became so excited! She danced, rolled around a laughed so much during her session. Teodora has a gymnastic background and kept pointing her little toes and even once did the splits! Teodora’s big blue eyes twinkled so much, a gorgeous little girl with the sweetest personality. Once we were all finished with her portraits and cake smash we brought out the bubble bath tub. Teodora wasn’t the biggest fan, but we did manage to capture a few smiles.

Gold Coast QLD Newborn Photography | Sonny’s Cake Smash

Gold Coast QLD Newborn Photography | Sonny’s Cake Smash

There is nothing more enjoyable than watching a one year old smash a cake! It was Sonny’s birthday, so we had to organise a cake smash for him. The giggles and laughter that came from Sonny was contagious. His sweet smile and explorative nature of the cake allowed us to capture the most precious images.

The Planning

When Chanel (Sonny’s mama) got in contact with me, we immediately started the planning process for Sonny’s shoot. I knew that a creamy, neutral boho inspired shoot would be perfect for the little man. I sent Chanel through our clothing inspiration guide to give a visual idea of what look we were going for. We stock quite a few different outfits for our little ones in the studio, from newborn to toddler. It’s always so amazing when clients allow the photographer to take creative control. Now time for planning the cake! Naked cakes are always a favourite of mine, I really feel that they meet those rustic, boho vibes. We organised for the cake to be topped with donuts, dried flowers and edible gold leaf. Next adding in some pampas grass and a beaded garland to complete the set up.

The Session

Sonny did so well during his session! He was so playful and giggly. We started the session off with portraits in the little basket. Sonny loved the music we had playing in the background and kept clapping to it. He was so excited so we decided to add the cake in for him to play with. He loved the cake and kept wanting his mama and dada to hand feed it to him. Finally we ended the cakesmash session with a splash bath. Babies either love or hate the splash bath. Sonny had so much fun, in fact I think it was his favourite part about the entire session. He was sticking his tongue out, laughing and splashing.

Newborn Photography Gold Coast QLD | Postpartum Wellbeing

Woman to Mother

Firstly we devote our time and energy into our pregnancies, but what about that postpartum period. The short 6 weeks after birth where our hormones are rampant. We are sleep deprived. Submerged in the unconditional love of a newborn bubble. Furthermore our bodies are experiencing massive adjustments. However it’s something that is often overlooked. Especially for first time mumma’s who are trying to find their sea legs. Consequently as a westernised society have lost touch with the women centred community care. Which allows a new mum to transition into motherhood. But this is the most important time for mother and baby to slow down and bond.

The First 40 Days

The first 40 Day – the essential art of nourishing the new mother by Heng Ou, Amely Greeven and Marisa Belger is an amazing resource that explains the importance of nurturing the postpartum experience. The book is filled with an abundance of recipes that help warm and heal the womb. Rebalance hormones and boost lactation. It gives helpful tips on slowing down and replenishing the new mother.

Postpartum Rituals

There are an abundant of traditional and modern day rituals that you can easily incorporate into your postpartum experience. To encourage healing and replenishment. Castor Oil Packs are an amazing and easy thing to do postpartum. Castor oil packs detoxify the womb area, increase blood flow, bring warmth and reduce pain. Simply soak a cloth into castor oil. Pop it on your womb area with a hot water bottle. Relax and recharge for ten minutes whilst it works its magic. Finally another amazing ritual. Rubbing black sesame seed oil onto your womb. Nonetheless this is so easy to do in the morning and at night to help promote warmth to your womb.

With just a little bit of preparation you can set up an amazing postpartum healing period. By incorporating, warmth, retreat, support, rest and ritual. You will leave the early days of postpartum completely rejuvenated.
