Miami QLD Newborn Photographer | Baby Grace

23/02/2023 No Comments

Miami QLD Newborn Photographer | Baby Grace

Paige messaged me in regard to scheduling a newborn photography session for her first baby girl, Grace. Grace was born with an Omphalocele. This can occur when a baby’s abdominal organs are pushed through their umbilical cord. A rare conditions that can be both minor or serious. Grace thankfully was only affected minimally and did not require surgery. Her obstetric medical team handled the issue with ease.

Firstly Dreamy Moon Photography is specifically trained to handle issues that arise with newborns at birth. Common injuries such as Omphalocele, brachial plexus palsy, caput saccidaneum, bone fractures, perinatal asphyxia etc…

Secondly, we will always accomodate our session around your baby if they have experienced a birth injury.

The session

During our session had to accommodate for baby Grace’s abdominal area as it had dressing on it from her procedure and was tender and sore. We avoided any poses on her tummy and stuck with wrapped poses in the props and side lying poses on the posing bed.

Finally focusing on the family component, we captured some amazing breastfeeding imaged of Paige and baby Grace. Solo parent images and family images of the three of them!

We can not wait to see what images Paige and her hubby select from baby Grace’s Newborn and Family Session… Stay tuned!

Gold Coast QLD Baby Photographer | Themed Photo Sessions

Who doesn’t love a themed photo session. Whether it’s be valentines days, Easter , st Patrick’s day, Halloween or Christmas. Themed photo shoots are the perfect way to sneak a milestone session into the year.

Generally run a mini session, themed photos allow you to get a taste of the Dream Moon Photography experience.

If you have never experienced a themed session or a mini session. They generally are shorter in comparison to full private session. Most themed sessions are ran with back to back bookings and the same set up. They are generally quicker and most of the time offered as a discount.

Normally you choose a set collection package instead of the individual tailored collections.

A fun way to get a taste of Dreamy Moon Photography. They are great if you have young kids that love structure. But sometimes a longer private session might be better if you have kiddos that are shy or take a little bit longer to warm up!

Mermaid qld newborn photography | Central Cyanosis

Choosing a Newborn Photographer

When it comes time to choosing a photographer to handle your newborn baby it is so important to consider the safety and qualifications that the photographer holds. It is so much more than just a “budget”.

Your baby’s safety should be the number one priority. When you choose to work with a professionally trained newborn photographer, the risk of injury is greatly decreased.

Have you ever heard of Central Cyanosis?

It is blue discolouration in the lips and chest area and visible mucous membranes occurs when there is an inadequate amount of oxygenation. This can be increased if baby is posed in an incorrect position or if there is an underlying condition.

If your photographer is not trained correctly to identify things such as central cyanosis, there is a higher risk of serious conditions for your newborn. At Dreamy Moon Photography we take your baby’s safety extremely seriously. We have done adequate training to:

1. Correctly pose your baby in the safest way possible and

2. Identify underlying birth issues such as central Cyanosis. Which then we can best recommend you to follow it up with your chosen health practitioner.

When you hire a professional photographer you can have reassurance knowing your baby is in the safest hands possible. That their safety comes before a perfect image. But don’t worry, we have confidence that we can achieve both!

If you’re pregnant or know someone expecting, please share this blog with them and the importance of choosing a professional photographer who is trained to identify birth injuries and issues such as central cyanosis.

Burleigh Heads Baby Photographer | Fairy Mini Session

We went adventuring to the Gold Coast Lakelands! A beautiful nature reserve that is literally perfect for outdoor photos!

I had a vision to do a whimsical fairy milestone session amongst the arch trees.

So we pulled the sage coloured tutu out and dressed Arnhem in it. She’s always testing out the up and coming ideas.

Finding the perfect location at the reserve was super easy. It was perfectly shaded with a glimpse of sun shining through the trees. Amazing to take photos during the middle of the day. If you know, you know!

Arnhem did amazing sitting there under the trees and posing like a little fairy. Lots of and laughter came from her! Now the magic is in the edit of this particular photo, to create a whimsical fairy enchanted image, we got creative in photoshop.

Everyone loved the fairy look, and maybe convinced us to do some mini sessions early next year, what do you think?

It was time for another first birthday shenanigan!

We love first birthdays at Dreamy Moon Photography! Because that means it’s cake smash time for all the newly one year olds that come visit us at the studio…

The sweetest little boy, Oliver came in for his first birthday cake smash session. Malin his mum, got in touch with the studio to organise a green, blue and neutral session for Ollies first birthday.

With intentional planning we came up with the perfect set up! Several helium balloons floating in the back ground both blue and green. The little rattan chair for a milestone session. A very tall mini naked cake to be smashed! And lastly two outfit choices, green and neutral.

When the day of the shoot arrived, Ollie came through and did amazing! Having his sister join in on the milestone part of the session. We captured some timeless memories of them together! Then it was time for cake! Ollie wasn’t quite sure what to do with the cake, so we cut him off a slice to eat. Wrapping the session up with a splash bath!

Baby Esther’s Session | Varsity Lakes QLD Newborn Photography

Baby Esther’s Session | Varsity Lakes QLD Newborn Photography

Organic Beauty in Every Detail:

From the first booking inquiry, we knew that Esther’s session would be one for the books. Embracing the concept of organic beauty. We curated an array of bamboo props and swaddles, each carefully selected to accentuate the natural charm of this little dreamer. The tactile quality of bamboo not only provided a gentle touch for Esther. But also added a timeless and earthy aesthetic to the images.

Neutral Tones and Rainbows of Love:

The palette for Esther’s session was a celebration of simplicity and warmth. We embraced neutral color tones, allowing the purity of the moment to shine through. Additionally, the subtle inclusion of brown & beige rainbows added a touch of whimsy. Symbolising the spectrum of emotions that accompany the journey of parenthood.

Baby Esther: A Dreamy Sleepy Angel:

Esther, with her delicate features and serene expressions, proved to be the epitome of a dreamy sleepy baby. From the gentle cradle of her parents’ arms to the cozy cocoon of swaddles, she embraced the session with a tranquility that allowed us to capture the pure magic of those early days.

Justin and Anna: Capturing Love in Every Frame:

As we focused our lens on Justin and Anna, it became evident that their love was the heartbeat of Esther’s session. Their connection and the tender moments they shared with their newborn daughter were nothing short of captivating. Every gaze, every smile, and every embrace spoke volumes about the beautiful journey they were embarking on as parents.

A Symphony of Love and New Beginnings:

In every photograph, we witnessed a symphony of love and new beginnings. The images captured during Esther’s newborn session are not just photographs; they are a visual poem, a testament to the profound joy that parenthood brings.

Final Thoughts:

Baby Esther’s newborn session was a testament to the beauty that unfolds when simplicity meets love. From the choice of organic bamboo props to the neutral tones and brown & beige rainbows. Every detail contributed to creating a visual masterpiece. Justin and Anna, with their radiant love, added a layer of depth that made each frame resonate with warmth and tenderness. As we conclude Esther’s session, we reflect on the privilege of capturing these precious moments and the joy that comes with witnessing the beginning of a beautiful journey.
