Gold Coast QLD Baby Photographer | Themed Photo Sessions

Who doesn’t love a themed photo session. Whether it’s be valentines days, Easter , st Patrick’s day, Halloween or Christmas. Themed photo shoots are the perfect way to sneak a milestone session into the year.

Generally run a mini session, themed photos allow you to get a taste of the Dream Moon Photography experience.

If you have never experienced a themed session or a mini session. They generally are shorter in comparison to full private session. Most themed sessions are ran with back to back bookings and the same set up. They are generally quicker and most of the time offered as a discount.

Normally you choose a set collection package instead of the individual tailored collections.

A fun way to get a taste of Dreamy Moon Photography. They are great if you have young kids that love structure. But sometimes a longer private session might be better if you have kiddos that are shy or take a little bit longer to warm up!

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!

Cake Smash Photographer Gold Coast QLD | Preparing for a Cake Smash!

Cake smashes are so fun!

There is just something so magical about planing, decorating and creating first birthday magic.

Today’s blog is a little different. I thought it would be a different perspective to share with you some of the behind the scenes process of organising a cake smash.

Of course it starts with the booking process. Once all booked in we start the planning. We love involving our clients in the planing process and have a huge selection of props and outfits that you can choose from in our preparation guide. Alternatively you can always leave the creative process up to us, if it’s not really your thing or you love a surprise!

Next is the fun part

Our team will go out into the field and organise anything that needs external planning such as the cake, balloons, outfits or any particular decor.

Cake decorating is one of the things that we also do in house and love creating unique naked cakes for each set up. Some have drives florals others gold flakes or other amazing designs! And of course the set up, putting everything together and intentionally adding in little details to really create that magic!

Finally the cake smash itself. Capturing those first memories of tasting cake (mostly for the first time) is so precious! The giggles and laughter. The toes between the cake slices and the messy little hands!

Burleigh Heads Cake Smash Photographer | Alvin’s session

Burleigh Heads Cake Smash Photographer | Alvin’s session

It’s cake smash time…

It was time to do another cake smash session! Alvin’s mum ‘Ine’, got into contact with the studio to organise a cake smash session. After seeing her friend’s baby, recently having a shoot done. It sparked inspiration. Recently capturing Miley’s cake smash session, we had to of course do her best friend Alvin. They will both have precious photos to look back on in years to come.

Ine and I spoke on the phone and discussed all about themes and finer details. Alvin was so excited to come into the studio and do a cake smash session!

We decided on a neutral colour palette, with a pop of blue/ green tones. Almost sage colour… So of course I had to run to the local shops and source some decorations for the session. Such a fun part of the job, sometimes it can turn into a complete creative cyclone!

The decorations were paired with some sweet cream naked cake and some neutral / green outfits. We had our theme put together. On a side note, I have been totally obsessed with instagram and TikTok Woolworths cake hacks and were dying to try it on for this session.

Click here to watch the reel I made. It definitely was harder than it looks.

Okay, Okay back to Alvin’s photoshoot…

Alvin and Ine arrived in the studio. Alvin was such a happy bubbly little boy. He was happy to interchange his outfits and get a great variety of milestone pictures.

Once we brought the cream naked cake into the shoot and placed it in front of Alvin. Alvin went ham! He loved the cake and was picking the whole thing up. Smashing it everywhere. It was the epitome of a cake smash! We capture some fantastic candid shots of Alvin.

To conclude the cake smash session we brought out the splash bath. With a touch of bubbles and a crumb or two of cake. Alvin enjoyed the last moments of his cake smash. Splashing around and blowing bubbles.

South Gold Coast QLD Newborn Photographer | Teodora’s Cake Smash

South Gold Coast QLD Newborn Photographer | Teodora’s Cake Smash

Teodora was the sweetest little girl during her Cake Smash Session. Her dainty little toes and big blue eyes. During this session I wanted to make the main focus on Teodora and keep the decorations to a minimal. By only incorporating a few light and airy pieces such as the moon prop and clear balloons.

The Planning

Liz and I got in contact earlier during the month and discussed all the details of the session. I sent through a few of my inspirations and a clothing guide. We stock a ton of outfits from newborn to toddler in our studio. But it’s always great to be on the same page with our clients. I had picked out a white lace romper and a peach coloured bonnet for Teodora to wear durning her session. The outfit gave off a slight vintage feel. During our planning phase Liz and I spoke about what type of art work she would like from her session. We offer a large variety of art pieces, from wall art to albums. Liz was very keen on creating a family heirloom album.

The Session

Teodora rocked her session, she was so good in front of the camera. When we played her favourite song from Bluey, she became so excited! She danced, rolled around a laughed so much during her session. Teodora has a gymnastic background and kept pointing her little toes and even once did the splits! Teodora’s big blue eyes twinkled so much, a gorgeous little girl with the sweetest personality. Once we were all finished with her portraits and cake smash we brought out the bubble bath tub. Teodora wasn’t the biggest fan, but we did manage to capture a few smiles.
