Robina QLD Newborn Photographer | The ultimate guide to choosing the right photographer

Robina QLD Newborn Photographer | The ultimate guide to choosing the right photographer

I can not stress this enough! The photographer handling your precious, delicate newborn baby. Needs to be professionally trained and up to newborn photography safety standards!

Please don’t be persuaded by a cheap deal when it comes to this. We have seen time and time again babies being injured from incorrect handling by untrained photographers attempting these style shoots.

What you need to know

I wanted to get onto the blog today and put together a full list of the ultimate guide to selecting a newborn photographer. Especially in an unregulated industry. At Dreamy Moon Photography, we want you to have the best and safest outcome. Beautiful newborn pictures for you to treasure for years to come!

First things first

Okay first things first… Is the newborn photographer a legitimate photographer or are they just someone advertising cheap images on Facebook?

How do you find this out? Well do they hold an abn? Have they got credentials or have trained with experts in the field. Do they have a website, an Omnipresence. Have they got any awards or recognitions? All these things we’ll help you set a part an expert compared to an amateur.

Don’t let budget affect quality

And I know that sometimes budget can be an issue and can dictate the over decision but most experienced photographers do offer payment plans and if you book in early, you will have plenty of time to pay the shoot off.

Ps, we offer afterpay now!

Okay quality over quantity!! This is so important and can easily be missed. Wouldn’t you rather have 10 amazing images that you can print and creat the most sensational and timeless gallery wall to display in your home. Rather than 60-70 mediocre images that will just get lost on the internet?

Now the fun stuff!

Because this is the ultimate guide I do want to get into some of the fun things, now that we got the serious topics out of the way.

Choose a photographer based on the style you love. Are they a studio photographer? Do they shoot lifestyle? Are they rustic, minimal, boho, dark, light? Do they specialise in posing newborns such as froggy, bottoms up and taco. Or do they photography babies in a more relaxed presentation?

Does your photographer offer an exclusive experience such as dreamy moon photographer. Where everything is taken care of and all you have to do is sit, relax and snack.

We take pride in running a full exclusive experience for our clients, that is not only safe, reputable and experienced. But also tailored, easy going and unique!

But there is honestly nothing more exciting than being apart of the festivities and capturing the moments of your babies first Christmas and your children’s reaction to all the magic that December brings about!

Who can’t forget about Mrs Clause, she will be back offering a feminine alternative to Santa! Someone that the kids can be super comfortable with!

Outdoor Christmas minis are the perfect alternative to the standard shopping centre Santa photos. You will be allotted a private time slot where you do not have to line up for ages! The best part of it all is that this year you will be able to select your favourite images and have the option to add more if you choose so.

We have specifically selected our Christmas minis to be photographed at the end of October. That way you will have plenty of time to organise gifts and have your images back in time for Christmas!

Burleigh Heads QLD Newborn Photography | Postpartum Anxiety

Burleigh Heads QLD Newborn Photography | Postpartum Anxiety

Those postpartum anxiety feels creep up out of nowhere!

One minute you’re in a total baby bliss bubble the next you’re questioning everything. I wanted to touch base on my own personal experience with postpartum anxiety this time around after having my baby this year, February 2022. I can’t even remember when it became a thing but it just became something that I started to notice would creep up often.

Trigger warning. For people who may feel upset by the talk of post natal anxiety, fears and depression.

In 2016

In 2016 prior to having my first son I was in a major car accident. That kind of kick started a lot of my traumas surrounding death and loss of loved ones. Throw a baby into a mix and that was years of therapy that I committed too. I truely thought I was past those traumas until I had my second baby. The postpartum phase amplifies a lot of suppressed issues.

I started having panic attacks in the middle of the night. Worried that my baby would stop breathing even when she was perfectly fine and safe. I would fear that if I let people mind her, she might get hurt. (Absolutely not the case at all though). Sometimes I would get worried that in the car she would stop breathing and I wouldn’t know because I was driving.

Driving became very limited with our baby because she absolutely hates the car and I could not bear to leave the house due to my debilitating anxiety.

This is just the tip of the iceberg to my experience with postpartum anxiety. I’m so blessed to have the most supportive fiancé. An incredible circle of family, friends and community.

To be on the other side…

I’m so glad to be on the other side of this. Thank to some handy tips that I fell back on. Such as a strong routine, an ear to talk to and really slowing down. These are somethings that worked for me and may be different for everyone.

If you or anyone you know is suffering from postpartum anxiety, please reach out to the helplines.

There is nothing we love more than seeing the reaction of our clients face when they see their precious babies printed and crafted into heirloom artwork!

It was client reveal day and Courtney came into the studio to collect her beautiful folio box. We did a full reveal video on the folio box and all the detail from pearlescent paper to milk linen colouring.

But back to the reveal of course. Courtney absolutely loved seeing the folio box in person for the first time. She was completely smitten by how precious her baby looked! She ever couldn’t believe how much his changed in just a few weeks.

We had the please of capturing Courtney’s reaction on camera!

Now of course we love going the extra mile for our clients and always love to sprinkle in a little surprise here and there. Later on during the week I had organised to drop off some goodies at Courtney’s work. We love supporting our local cheesecake shop and picked up a 6 pack of assorted cupcakes. To thank Courtney’s for supporting our small business.

Tweed NSW Newborn Photographer | Outdoor Family Session

Tweed NSW Newborn Photographer | Outdoor Family Session

Tweed NSW Newborn Photographer | Outdoor Family Session

Bree originally found Dreamy Moon Photography through our Santa mini promotion we ran last year. She absolutely lived our service and booked us in to shoot her wedding. However a postponement was made and we decided to squeeze in an outdoor family shoot in the mean time!

Over the weekend we had an outdoor session scheduled in for a returning client of ours. Bree and her family are just adorable and really wanted to do a nature based outdoors session. I knew the perfect spot! Somewhere with lots of trees, greenery and a kangaroo or two. Think very scenic vibes, sage and earth tones!

Now of course you probably all know us as studio photographers, but that doesn’t mean we can’t do an outdoor shoot on request. We love a good sunrise on the beach or sunset on the mountains.

On the day Bree and her family were beautifully coordinated with their outfits. The boys wore jeans and white shirts, her youngest in a camel toned knitted sweater and of course Bree in a beautiful white flow dress! We made our way through various area of scenery from open fields to canopies of trees and finishing up on the board walk. A perfect area for toddlers to explore and truely be candid!

Bree and her family had requested a photo of the boys so she could send it to their nanny. We captured the perfect photo of them looking over the board walk and into the shrubs!
