Robina QLD Newborn Photographer | Surviving a Family Photoshoot

Surviving a Family Photoshoot

It’s that time of the year again when you need to update your family photos. You may be looking forward to it or you might be feeling totally overwhelmed about where to even begin.

We hope that’s not the case if you decide to book with Dreamy Moon Photography as we strive to take the pressures out of planning and organising your dream shoot.

But we also know what it’s like to juggle multiple kiddos and get them to all be happy on the day.

Tips!

So here is a few survival tips that we recommend to ensure your family photoshoot runs as smoothly as possible!

Work with a professional photographer – this will honestly make the world of a difference if you are working with a professional as they will have a streamline work flow and provide you helpful things such as detailed dress guides and instructions for your session. A professional photographer will keep your shoot concise and know how to manage situations where kiddos are a little overwhelmed.
Book at least 1-2 months in advance. This will give you plenty of time to work out a location with your photographer, outfits and hair & makeup
Arrive at your session 30 minutes early. Allowing you time to find a car spot. Fix up any last minute outfit dilemmas. Meet your photographer. And go into your shoot stress free!
Lastly enjoy this moment. It’s meant to be fun not stressful. Your mood will truely reflect in the photos.

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.

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?
