Gold Coast QLD Newborn Photographer | Miley’s Cake Smash

Gold Coast QLD Newborn Photographer | Miley’s Cake Smash

We love Cake Smashes – Gold Coast QLD Newborn Photographer | Miley’s Cake Smash

We love cake smashes at Dreamy Moon Photography! When Jana got into contact with me about her baby girl ‘Miley’s’ first birthday coming up. Of course we had to organise a cake smash photoshoot! With this photoshoot jana wanted to incorporate Miley’s special birthday dress. So of course we picked some props to compliment it. Think cream, pink and lace. With a few bouquets of florals and a prop we put together the perfect set up for the shoot!

Miley came through on Saturday to capture her first birthday Cake Smash Session. She was beautifully dressed in her little pink dress that her big brother (age 3) purchased for her when she was younger. Miley had the most beautiful curly brown hair and big brown eyes. She communicated so well through her actions.

The set up

We set up the studio with a whimsical and Lacey set up. A tiny bed draped in a lace layer and some beautiful dried flowers enhanced the overall look. First we captured some milestone photos with Miley in her special pink dress. Then we did an outfit change for a little bit of variation. We did a quick outfit change into a white lace romper so Miley’s special dress would get ruined.

Adding in a beautiful cream cake in, Miley enjoyed smashing and tasting all the different flavours. When given the cake. She was super expressive with her face and gave the cream sponge cake a decent tasting! Which was absolutely adorable. Photographing the most candid moments, we snuck in some giggles and smiles! After shooting some milestone photos and the cake tasting. It was time for the splash bath to conclude the session!

The perfect way to celebrate…

Cake smashes are the perfect way to celebrate that first year of your baby. They are getting bigger and more independent. Their little personality is more defined and is so beautiful to be captured at this age. Dreamy Moon Photography has a range of props, backdrops and outfits for your session.

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.

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

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

Quality over Quantity

Firstly, I know how appealing a large number sounds and looks! Trust me, it’s shiny! But…..! In most cases a larger quantity jeopardises the quality outcome. And sometime less is more!

At Dreamy Moon Photography your images are meticulously hand edited, one by one. We want your memories to be perfect or perfectly candid! It is art at the end of the day.

Choosing quality over quantity will ensure you will have the most intentional image experience that we can offer.

Additionally, you will be able to present your images into a luxury album or create a beautiful gallery wall to display your favourite memory. Something that you will be able to treasure for years to come, rather than getting lost on your phone folder or a storage drive after a few months. It’s time to bring tangible items back into the digital world we live in.

Finally our clients love the Dreamy Moon Experience. Clients always mention, how much they love having beautiful tangible artwork created for their homes to display memories of their family. Besides there is nothing more special than heirloom keepsakes, that you can show off to all your family and friends! Something that is the topic of conversation in your home!

Tweed NSW Newborn Photographer | What to wear to your session

22/07/2022 No Comments

What do you wear?

You’re so excited, you have your session booked for your indoor or outdoor photography session. If you haven’t had photos taken in the past, this must be very new for you. Even slightly overwhelming. You not only have to organise yourself, but your partner, children and maybe family pet too! But don’t worry, Dreamy Moon Photography has you covered and has put together a full guide on what to wear to your next photography session. Tweed NSW Newborn Photographer | What to wear to your session

Family:

I’m starting off with the largest to organise and that is your family session clothing guide. The key here is to coordinate your colour pallet rather than being matchy, matchy. Pick a few tones that collaborate nicely and base your outfit around them. I will post a few example below of exactly what I’m talking about. Never underestimate the power of textures! Textures make for great visual appeal in your photos and when added in subtly, it can make the world of a difference.

What to avoid!

We want your photos to be timeless and of course this is just our suggestion that you can take with a grain of salt….But this is a few things we tell our clients to avoid wearing.

No logos, logos are distracting and can outdated become outdated quite quickly.

Avoid harsh patterns, this can sometimes be unflattering.

Now this is just our preference but avoid bold, bright colours.

Okay now that we’ve gotten that out of the way let’s move onto the babies!

You probably know by now that our main niche of photography are babies. Which is why we have a full client wardrobe to have you covered. But the same rules as above pretty much apply to our littlest humans too.
