Mermaid QLD Newborn Photography | 6 Month Milestone Sessions

6 months old!

It is the phase where they are not quite moving yet but not quite so little anymore. The time when the rolly-polls are getting bigger and their independence is trying to shine through. Can you believe it half way to one! Six months old is such a sweet age and an age that is often overlooked for photos. But I promise you won’t be disappointed if you get them done! Mermaid QLD Newborn Photography | 6 Month Milestone Sessions

We will capture your baby’s personality and development for you to remember. Most babies aren’t quite sitting independently yet at this stage, but thats okay because we have plenty of props to assist. And of course tummy time shots are just the cutest!

Dreamy Moon Photography has a full extensive client wardrobe for your little ones, ranging from itty bitty 0000 all the way up to size 2. Click here to get a sneak peek.

Arnhem-Sol’s milestone session

Recently we captured Arnhem-Sol’s milestone pictures. She was so enthusiastic and bubbly during the shoot. So many giggles and activity going on. We did two outfit changes. Firstly she wore a little gingham romper that showed all her rolls off! The second outfit was a two darlings onesie in the colour mint. I really feel like green is her colour and always try to dress her in that.

We managed to capture some really cute pictures for her 6 month old milestone session. If you would love to schedule your baby’s 6 month old photos in, Click Here…

Best Newborn Photographer on the Gold Coast | Questions you should be asking your Photographer

Best Newborn Photographer on the Gold Coast | Questions you should be asking your Photographer

Best Newborn Photographer on the Gold Coast | Questions you should be asking your Photographer

When choosing a photographer to photograph your newborn baby it is so important to choose someone who is correctly qualified for the job! The last thing you want is someone inexperienced handling and potentially harming your newborn baby! So in today’s blog post I’m am putting together a bunch of questions you can ask your potential future photographer to assure they are the best person for the job! And if in doubt, book in with Dreamy Moon Photography because we have you covered!

Question to ask…

What is your qualifications when it comes to photography. (Is this photographer self taught or do they have qualifications or mentoring, under their belt).
Do they hold a first aid certificate, (we love working with tiny hearts education!).
Do they hold a WWCC, ABN etc? (This will really help differentiate amateur to professionals).
Have you got a studio with flash lighting or do you work with natural light?
Are you a lifestyle newborn photographer or do you specialise in newborn posing portraiture?
Do you include a client wardrobe, props and accessories?

By asking these questions or researching your photographer thoroughly you will be able to distinguish between a qualified, trained photographer who is experienced in their field against someone who is just starting out with little experience.

Price is also a good indicator whether or not you’re working with a fully qualified newborn photographer. If they have years of experience, training, all the equipment, accessories, props and everything else that goes into running a business. Then it is expected that their price will reflect that. Rather then someone who is just starting out offering super cheap sessions!

Currumbin QLD baby photographer | Tips to creating an easy photoshoot with toddlers

Currumbin QLD baby photographer | Tips to creating an easy photoshoot with toddlers

It can be overwhelming for everyone when it comes to the day of family photos. Especially for toddlers and young children. But here at Dreamy Moon Photography, our aim is to create the smoothest experience for you and your family. So here are a few of our favourite tips and ticks to creating an easy photoshoot! Currumbin QLD baby photographer | Tips to creating an easy photoshoot with toddlers.

Tips

The best thing you can start with is gently preparing and building up excitement for your toddler. Explain to them that you’re going to get pictures taken. Let them play with a toy camera or a real old one if you have that on hand. Get them involved! This will help build up anticipation and excitement and give your toddler an element of control and security.
We suggest planing something fun to do after the shoot, for example getting an ice cream. This helps those young children who don’t really want to participate have something to look forward to, because let’s face it. Everybody loves ice cream (we recommend the cream at donut time in Burleigh)!
Now we definitely have a few studio tricks up our sleeve and that is setting up a fun bubbly atmosphere. Here at Dreamy Moon we love playing your Child’s favourite music. Getting the bubbles out and even our little squeaky to that seems to make all the kiddos laugh!
Finally our biggest tip is to stay calm and surrender to the outcome. Children are their own individual autonomous beings. Sometimes truely and autheicallyl capturing the moment makes for the best photos to cherish and look back on! We love a good candid picture over here, something that documents the phase of life that you’re in.

I hope that these tips help you not to stress too much about getting the perfect shot! We love making things easier on your end. And will do everything we can to support that.

Cake Smash Photographer Gold Coast QLD | The best part of what we do!

Newborn Photography Gold Coast QLD | Why we love quality over quantity

Cake Smash Photographer Gold Coast QLD | The best part of what we do!

The best part

Ahhh! Where to begin, where to begin… Can I just sum up this blog and say the whole thing. 😂

Just kidding. Of course we will get into the nitty gritty!

There are so many avenues I can go with this but let’s start off with the most important!

There is nothing, and I mean nothing! More special than creating timeless memories for people to cherish. And without getting to cumbersome, those memories that I’ve captured are especially special when there is significance behind them. Such as a family member passing, rainbow baby, capturing love! A new baby even!

Those meaningful relationships

When it’s time to choose the images with our clients and they’re balling their eyes out from love and joy, that! Is a feeling that I just can’t explain.

It’s so much more than snapping pictures, it’s building meaningful relationships with people. Being apart of their life story and adding genuine meaning to them!

Photography is so much more than the art, it’s the service and that is something really special.

I’m am so honoured and blessed to be in this industry and create connections. Walk along side families and capture heirloom art pieces to be handed down for generations to come!

Miami Qld Newborn Photographer | October Haul!

Miami Qld Newborn Photographer | October Haul!

New props

We can’t start the month of October off without getting a few little props! Or in our case accessories. We love supporting local vendors and small Australian businesses. Which is why we always try to shop as local as possible!

I feel like when you run a business that involves babies, it’s so easy to continuously upgrade the client closet because everything is so cute! Of course we want to also have new upgraded things for our clients to use too!

So let’s jump straight into the little haul!

We were really vibing the blossom and pear range at the moment. So we got on the band wagon and purchased the sweetest little over sized bow in the colour muted pink. This is such a versatile piece for newborns all the way to cakesmash babies. It has the perfect amount of stretch to accommodate for most baby sizes.

This little head band will be perfectly paired with a little white romper or dress. Or even a neutral coloured newborn wrap! We can not wait to use it in our next photography session.

All the accessories!

The second little accessories that we purchased was the sweetest little hand knitted bonnet. In the colour beige. This will be perfect for 6 month old sessions and sitter milestones. It will pair perfectly with any neutral outfit or even the cord knitted onesie that we have in our client closet.

We also went a little over board on Christmas mini decor but you’ll have to read our Christmas blog to find out all about the goodies!

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.
