Newborn Photography Gold Coast QLD | Belly to Baby

Okay, you just got that positive pregnancy test and a million emotions and scenarios are running through your head. You want to plan everything revolving your pregnancy and baby.

Firstly mama, I feel you. I have been there too! My suggestion is to first process your emotions and than write a list “haha”. Of course we should probably tell our partner too. If photography is something you value. Than it will be so important for you to capture your growing bump and eventually little baby.

But when should you book?

At dreamy moon photography we would love to be able to photograph every single baby. But we would need all the time in the world. And unfortunately we only have limited availability.

We highly encourage our clients who are expecting to get in contact with us 2-3 months prior to there due date. This will give us the ability to allocate a flexible time slot to ensure we can photograph your newborn. A flexible booking like this will guarantee you will get your session. You will have reassurance knowing that, we have all your photography needs covered. You will receive a detailed preparation guide to plan in advance. You also don’t have to stress about getting pictured in time. Because I will be organised well in advanced.

Another amazing factor to booking 2-3 months in advanced is our prepayment service.

Tweed NSW Newborn Photography | Why it’s important to educate yourself on birth

Tweed NSW Newborn Photography | Why it’s important to educate yourself on birth

I want to start this blog off with a little disclaimer:

It is so important to birth where you feel safe mama, whether that’s at home, the hospital or amongst your favourite people.

Okay let’s jump right in because this is something I am super passionate about and want all mamas to have the birth of their dreams.

Firstly it is so important to educate your self around birth, birth anatomy, home birth, hospital birth, inductions, c sections, naturally birth etc. The best way to do this is through a hypno birthing course. Such as calm birth. A doula is another amazing option that will work along side, to help inform you, with your options. Of course if you’re anything like me you’ll spend every night researching, reading, listening to podcasts such as the midwitch or birth realm.

Secondly I think it’s really important to get clear on what your goals are. If you can go into birth informed but opened minded, you will truely get the best outcome.

Know your rights and have a strong team that can advocate for you in your most vulnerable state. This is why I love a good birth plan because it allows everyone to get on your page and know what outcome your striving for. Having an involved birthing partner is crucial to your birth. It’s so important to feel safe and this special person will help anchor you.

You have a choice to birth wherever you want…

Home

Public hospital

Private hospital

Even in nature (if that’s your thing!)

If you take the time to educate yourself, you will be able to birth with ease and trust. Knowing that whatever happens, the outcome will be okay.

Burleigh Heads QLD Newborn Photography | Why choose me?

Burleigh Heads QLD Newborn Photography | Why choose me?

Hello, I am Tiana the founder of Dreamy Moon Photography. Dreamy Moon Photography is based around creating unique experiences for our clients who want a trusted professional to guide them through their session.

Why Dreamy Moon Photography started:

Now I go into much more detail in my other blog pose “ What photography means to me”. But I will briefly explain how DMP became about.Having my first child inspired me to start DMP. I wanted to capture the endless moments and realised that I could do the same for other families. Photography was already a hobby of mine, but I wanted to learn the professional reigns.

Tiana’s Education:

Education and knowledge is the key to growth. I strongly believe in investing into yourself and after knowing that I wanted to turn photography into a career, I went down the education rabbit hole. It first started with a few courses through click love grow. This is amazing for setting you up for the foundations. But I knew in my heart that I really wanted to work with babies. With that in mind I did some specialised training with Sarah Scott, Natasha Galley, Emily Wilcokson and Meg Bitton.

At Dreamy Moon Photography, we are continually adding to our education. We strongly believe in investing into our experience each year. We are currently working with a mentor who is known internationally for their work. Creating a safe environment for our clients is number one priority and that coincides with correct training. Now if you also need want to get into the nitty gritty, I’ve also done several courses in Nutrition and Dietetics, Food science and Graphic design at Newcastle university. Which I guess shaped me to be who I am today.

Tiana’s experience:

I’ve been specialising in newborn photography for four years now. I love working with babies and have focused my education around that niche.

In the last two years we have started photographing weddings. Now this is a completely different style of photography and I’m all for it. We love being able to travel and capture the candid moments of someone’s special day.

So why choose me? Why choose Dreamy Moon Photography…

We love to keep it real and raw at DMP but we also strive to provide you with a one of a kind experience, that most other photographers do not offer. An experience that guides you through creating timeless memories with your loved ones. An experience that leaves you with heirloom art pieces to treasure for ever. Something that is stress free…

South Gold Coast Newborn Photographer | Infertility

19/06/2022 No Comments

South Gold Coast Newborn Photographer | Infertility

Let’s talk infertility and then let’s talk about secondary infertility. Because I didn’t even realise that was a thing until I went through two years experiencing secondary infertility.

Firstly, I feel you! It is so hard… Watching everyone around you having healthy babies or being questioned when you will have a baby. It can be so lonely, heartbreaking. Test your strength, resilience and relationship. You’re really forced to know your priorities. I wish infertility didn’t exist. But it does! Infertility is an increasing issue amongst adults who are wanting to start or extend their family. With all the environmental toxins and other leading causes of infertility such as PCOS, hormonal issues, endometriosis or poor quality sperm. It’s not a surprise that more and more people are finding it difficult to have a baby.

So let’s talk about some of the proactive steps you can take to increase your chances of having a baby.

Let’s start with lifestyle.

Exercise, diet, mental state and low tox living is crucial to making sure your body is in the best state to hold and grow a baby. Working along side your practitioner, whether that be a naturopath, gp, gynaecologist, acupuncturist or kinesiologist etc. Whatever modality you choose to go down. Really utilise your resources before opting into IVF treatments. Sometimes it’s the minor adjustments that make the biggest differences.

Rule out everything:

Hormones

Blood work

Ultrasounds

Sperm tests

Family history

But also don’t be afraid to get second and third opinions. You know your body best!

So let’s talk about secondary Infertility…

This is the inability to fall or maintain a pregnancy after having a full term baby. Secondary infertility affects 12% of couples, which is 1 in 8.

We spent two years trying to figure out the reason to our secondary infertility. After multiple chemical miscarried and a 9 week miscarriage. It came down to a hormonal imbalance. By increasing my progesterone levels I was able to hold onto my pregnancy. We ended up giving birth at 41 + 1 weeks to a healthy baby girl.

Burleigh Heads QLD Newborn Photography | What photography means to me

Burleigh Heads QLD Newborn Photography | What photography means to me

I grew up in a household that did not priorities memories…

Growing up in a disadvantaged household with 8 children, you get lost in the crowd. As a family of 10 we only have one image of all of us together. After having my first baby, who is now five years old. There was a part of me that felt empty. Whilst I was pregnant and becoming excited to bring my first born baby into the world. So than, I searched for images of myself and my family. To see the resemblance of what my new baby would look like in comparison to my own baby photos, meant so much to me. It was than and there that I realised I have near to no images of myself as a baby. It still stings knowing that I will never know what baby Tiana looked like. I will never be able to do side by side comparisons of mum, dad and baby.

I had subconsciously made and oath to myself

To document, capture and freeze moments in time of my family and children. I had actually started a YouTube channel as well as learning the basics of photography to support this dream. Now if you know me personally, you know that I am a dreamer. I love that even when you put your mind to something you can achieve it. That was the catalyst to how Dreamy Moon Photography began. Firstly I became obsessed with learning the ins and outs of becoming a photography. It ignited something within me, something that felt so empty before. When you grow up with childhood trauma the biggest thing you do for yourself is to nurture your inner child. That is what photography does for me…

Fast forward five years and photography still means the world to me. I feel so honoured and fulfilled being apart of families earliest moments. Meeting new people and creating connections are just the tip of the iceberg to why this job is so fulfilling and meaningful. The best part about photography is creating tangible heirloom art for families to cherish and pass down for years to come.
