Burleigh Heads QLD Newborn Photography | Milestones

Burleigh Heads QLD Newborn Photography | Milestones

It’s the little memories, Burleigh Heads QLD Newborn Photography | Milestones

Okay, this is going way too fast! And I know I write about this all the time in the blogs. But I really can’t stress how you blink and time flies in that first year of having a baby! It’s like the days are long but the years are short. Some days feel like ground hog day but you look back at the picture and your baby has grown astronomically. What once was a little bundle of curliness is now the biggest squish ever!

So Arnhem-Sol is 4 months old and to celebrate we photographer her monthly milestone photos. Now let’s be real she did not want her pictures taken. Even when encouraged by her big brother. Who absolutely is smitten by her and always wants photos taken with her. So of course we had to get some of Theo too.

I managed to distract her with a toy and placed her in our favourite rattan prop. Which is great for newborns and sitters. Dressing her in a white Two Darlings onesie and a peach coloured lace bonnet. She looked like a little doll. We were able to get a few candid images of the two, which is always so precious.

Milestone photos are the most sweetest as it showcases how much they change over 12 months.

Burleigh Heads Baby Photographer | This or That

Let’s play another round! Burleigh Heads Baby Photographer | This or That

This or That, a popular and interactive game over on our Dreamy Moon Photography Instagram page.

If you haven’t heard of this game. It’s where you select your favourite image or prop/ outfit in the case of today. We generally do a poll over on Instagram and boy was it close with some of them competing images. However for the sake of today’s blog, you can just comment down below, what your favourite is.

Round rattan flower basket versus the rectangular rattan basket

Okay starting with the first, and that was the round rattan flower basket versus the rectangular rattan basket. Both amazing props for newborn and sitters. But oh my goodness I did not expect results like this! Everyone love, love, loved that round flower basket. It got 100% of the votes. The rectangular basket (which is my favourite by the way), did not have a chance.

Client Wardrobe

The second this and that was from our client wardrobe. Two pieces that are used for cake smashes. The first clothing was a pair of sage overalls and the second a little lace onesie. Everyone ended up loving the lace onesie! Winning with a vote of 67-33%. I love both these pieces and think they photograph both really well so I’m fence sitting for this one!

The moon prop versus the cane pram

Okay and the last this and that which was so close guys! When I checked it was 50/50! But there had to be a winner. Everyone loved the moon prop, this prop is amazing for cake smashes. However the cane pram took the votes in the end. I don’t know what it is about a little vintage pram. But you all loved it in the end! It stole all the votes by 64%.

I always love playing this and that, because I’m surprised every time what everyone as a collective ends up loving! Follow us over on our instagram, so you can be apart of our this or that game next time we pull the voting polls out.

Gold Coast QLD baby photographer | New props and accessories

The Delivery – Gold Coast QLD baby photographer | New props and accessories!

We love a good prop haul and we love it when the delivery driver drops it off! I kid you not he almost didn’t deliver it because he couldn’t find the studio. So I ran out and met up with him to collect the package. Yeah I’m that keen person, patiently waiting for the packages to arrive! We had a few newborn sessions coming up and I always try to take this opportunity to pick out something new for each baby who comes into the studio. Sometimes when it’s a last minute shoot we don’t always have the chance, but when we do. We take full advantage!

The Props

I went onto my favourite prop vendor and picked out a beaten rattan flower basket, designed for newborn babies. This prop is amazing for getting those sleepy wrapped shots or head on hands. When this prop arrived in the studio, it was even more beautiful in person. In fact we even played ‘this or that’ using this prop and it got 100% of the votes as the preferred prop.

To fill the basket, I selected a little baby pink frilled wrap/ basket filler. As this was for our client Elody’s newborn session. Such a beautiful layer to add a little bit of depth into any photo.

I also picked up a little mohair outfit and matching bonnet. In the shade fawn. This outfit is absolutely the cutest thing I have ever seen. I love purchasing local and buying hand made products. This outfit is a true depiction of that.

Lastly for this little prop haul we actually decided to do a little DIY project. My sister had send me through an inspiration picture of a swing for a baby (totally safe and used as a posed prop only). We just had to make it. So we went to Bunnings and got all the materials we needed. Luca spent the after hand crafting this prop and ensuring it was all smoothed down. Perfect for a newborn baby. Whilst he did that I also put up our little halo and bonnet peg holder on the wall which was also a super cute project.

South Gold Coast Newborn Photographer | Props & Accessories

South Gold Coast Newborn Photographer | Props & Accessories

I had an idea – South Gold Coast Newborn Photographer | Props & Accessories

Over the weekend I had decided to pull every Dreamy Moon Photography prop, accessories and client clothes out into the studio and photograph each individual item. I wanted to craft together an easily accessible place to view everything we currently have in the studio. Of course, it’s is always updating. However maybe I can update this collage and photos regularly!

This was actually an entire afternoon project and I completely underestimated how much we have tucked away in the studio storage closets. Safe to say it was definitely a fun project. It allowed me to take inventory on what we could purchase in the near future and what we probably don’t need. But let’s be real, “I’ll probably buy another shade of cream backdrop”.

I did film a behind the scenes video for those who adore watching the Dreamy Moon Photography YouTube channel.

The client closet…

Now if you have been to the studio, you would know that we love rattan and bamboo everything! Of course the majority of our props were made of those materials. But truely we try to intentionally select props that are made from natural materials.

As for our client wardrobe, there is a huge selection from 0000-size 2. Perfect to add a bit of variety to a newborn session and a selection of pieces for cake smashes! I also have a few special pieces coming into the studio too. A few items that are hand crafted from the states.

Okay, okay, let’s talk bonnets and halos… because this is one that I had stored away and pulled them all out. We had was more than what we expected. We will add a few more dried floral halos in however. I just love them all and can’t decide! I will be adding these collages into our guides for our clients to have a look at. This will allow you to be able to easily pick and choose what you want for your session.

Burleigh Heads QLD Newborn Photography | Reeve’s Session

Burleigh Heads QLD Newborn Photography | Reeve’s Session

The planning – Burleigh Heads QLD Newborn Photography | Reeve’s Session

Jordan and Bianca are good friends of ours and when we found out the were pregnant not long after we were. We knew that we would have to squeeze in a newborn shoot for them! Bianca, had a cesarean with her first baby and had opted for another with Reeve. Which meant we had to account for the recovery and allow an extra week before we got into the studio to photograph Reeve’s newborn session.

But once we had the clear, we had set a date in stone. Now of course we had to plan what props and colours to use for this session and I wanted to pull some inspiration from Reeve’s family home. So a colour palette of creams, browns and blues were perfect. A little bit nautical themed…

The session

Reeve came into the studio and we started off with photographing him in the rattan rectangular basket prop. I added a little bonnet on his head too. He was so little around 3.2kg that I had to adjust the props to fit him in. After we were all finished photographing him in the props. We moved on to the posing bed. We started with bottoms up and ended with Huck Finn (bottoms down). Capturing Reeve, we managed to photograph him on a little swing prop and in a mohair outfit. He did so well.

Gold Coast QLD Newborn Photographer | Miley’s Cake Smash

Gold Coast QLD Newborn Photographer | Miley’s Cake Smash

We love Cake Smashes – Gold Coast QLD Newborn Photographer | Miley’s Cake Smash

We love cake smashes at Dreamy Moon Photography! When Jana got into contact with me about her baby girl ‘Miley’s’ first birthday coming up. Of course we had to organise a cake smash photoshoot! With this photoshoot jana wanted to incorporate Miley’s special birthday dress. So of course we picked some props to compliment it. Think cream, pink and lace. With a few bouquets of florals and a prop we put together the perfect set up for the shoot!

Miley came through on Saturday to capture her first birthday Cake Smash Session. She was beautifully dressed in her little pink dress that her big brother (age 3) purchased for her when she was younger. Miley had the most beautiful curly brown hair and big brown eyes. She communicated so well through her actions.

The set up

We set up the studio with a whimsical and Lacey set up. A tiny bed draped in a lace layer and some beautiful dried flowers enhanced the overall look. First we captured some milestone photos with Miley in her special pink dress. Then we did an outfit change for a little bit of variation. We did a quick outfit change into a white lace romper so Miley’s special dress would get ruined.

Adding in a beautiful cream cake in, Miley enjoyed smashing and tasting all the different flavours. When given the cake. She was super expressive with her face and gave the cream sponge cake a decent tasting! Which was absolutely adorable. Photographing the most candid moments, we snuck in some giggles and smiles! After shooting some milestone photos and the cake tasting. It was time for the splash bath to conclude the session!

The perfect way to celebrate…

Cake smashes are the perfect way to celebrate that first year of your baby. They are getting bigger and more independent. Their little personality is more defined and is so beautiful to be captured at this age. Dreamy Moon Photography has a range of props, backdrops and outfits for your session.
