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

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?

Tweed Nsw Cake Smash Photographer | Oliver’s Smash Cake

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!

Milestone session time!

We love milestone sessions here at Dreamy Moon Photography! It is so cute to capture your babies little mileststones. Where they are at in their stage of growth and development. Baby Photos Gold Coast | Milestone Photography

Are they sitting? Are they crawling yet? Do they pull the sweetest expressions or point at random things. It’s these little day to day changes that just make them grow so fast overnight.

By scheduling a milestone session at 3, 6 and 9 months you will have the opportunity to have professional photos of your little ones first year!

Arnhem-sol did her 8 month milestone, dressed in a little pin up, thrills romper. From the brand Bencer & Hazelnut. Accessorised with both a cane pram and rattan seat. She no longer looks like a little baby and is starting to look more and more like a little girl before our very own eyes.

You’ll never regret getting photos taken of your little ones taken!

Gold Coast QLD Baby Photographer | Milestone Session

9 Months Already!

Can you believe Arnhem-Sol is already 9 months old! This years has truely gone so fast and I can’t stress enough the importance of getting at least one professional photoshoot done with your little one. If you’re anything like me, you want to preserve this time as much as possible! And the best way to do it is by capturing the moment. To have something to hold and look back on is so magical.

We were inspired to do this milestone session after a cakesmash session that I did earlier. I had a bunch of balloons left over and thought it would be cute to do a dressed splash bath. So I tied the bouquet of balloons to the little tub and dressed Arnhem in her little white romper. Safe to say she loved it!

So much splashing and laughing! We captured the cutest smiles. Arnhem, now being 9 months old was throwing some bold moves in there! Pulling herself up and standing had me on my toes. Of course Luca was there to spot her.

Safety

Safety is our number one priority at Dreamy Moon Photography. In fact we just recently updated our first aid training with Tiny Hearts Education. Tiny Hearts Education is an amazing resource for both parents and professionals, bringing real life first aid situations and applying the skills needed to address them in their courses.

But back to the milestone shoot! We captured some very sweet photos and wrapped it up with some cuddles….

Mermaid QLD Newborn Photography | Mini Session Vs Custom Photography

Let’s discuss all about the differences a mini photography session will get you versus a custom session, tailored towards you and your needs!

Hello! Welcome, I am Tiana, founder of Dreamy Moon Photography… I specialise in creating custom, heirloom art pieces for your family to cherish for years to come. But with all that aside let’s get straight into the blog!

Okay, Okay… Starting off with the Minis! Mini Sessions are great, they are a lot of fun. Fairly fast paced and a great taster into the Dreamy Moon Experience. This type of sessions is perfect for you if you are okay with a specific theme, want something short and fast, are flexible with dates and times. These session are generally discounted or offered in a cheaper bundle and are only offered 1-2 times a year. For example Christmas Mini Sessions.

Now that we have talked about the mini sessions, let’s talk about why a customer session might be a better fit for your families needs. Custom sessions, well they are completely tailored to you, “the name says it all.” There is so much more flexibility when it comes to a custom session. You have more of a say on location/ studio, date & time (depending on availability), theme, props, outfits and so much more! Dreamy Moon Photography will work along side you to create a unique experience. These sessions generally cost more and offer the full luxury experience.

So, there you have it! Mini Session Vs Custom Photography, which one would you choose?
