Burleigh Heads QLD Newborn Photography | Milestones

It’s the little memories, Burleigh Heads QLD Newborn Photography | Milestones

Okay, this is going way too fast! And I know I write about this all the time in the blogs. But I really can’t stress how you blink and time flies in that first year of having a baby! It’s like the days are long but the years are short. Some days feel like ground hog day but you look back at the picture and your baby has grown astronomically. What once was a little bundle of curliness is now the biggest squish ever!

So Arnhem-Sol is 4 months old and to celebrate we photographer her monthly milestone photos. Now let’s be real she did not want her pictures taken. Even when encouraged by her big brother. Who absolutely is smitten by her and always wants photos taken with her. So of course we had to get some of Theo too.

I managed to distract her with a toy and placed her in our favourite rattan prop. Which is great for newborns and sitters. Dressing her in a white Two Darlings onesie and a peach coloured lace bonnet. She looked like a little doll. We were able to get a few candid images of the two, which is always so precious.

Milestone photos are the most sweetest as it showcases how much they change over 12 months.

South Gold Coast Newborn Photographer | Props & Accessories

South Gold Coast Newborn Photographer | Props & Accessories

I had an idea – South Gold Coast Newborn Photographer | Props & Accessories

Over the weekend I had decided to pull every Dreamy Moon Photography prop, accessories and client clothes out into the studio and photograph each individual item. I wanted to craft together an easily accessible place to view everything we currently have in the studio. Of course, it’s is always updating. However maybe I can update this collage and photos regularly!

This was actually an entire afternoon project and I completely underestimated how much we have tucked away in the studio storage closets. Safe to say it was definitely a fun project. It allowed me to take inventory on what we could purchase in the near future and what we probably don’t need. But let’s be real, “I’ll probably buy another shade of cream backdrop”.

I did film a behind the scenes video for those who adore watching the Dreamy Moon Photography YouTube channel.

The client closet…

Now if you have been to the studio, you would know that we love rattan and bamboo everything! Of course the majority of our props were made of those materials. But truely we try to intentionally select props that are made from natural materials.

As for our client wardrobe, there is a huge selection from 0000-size 2. Perfect to add a bit of variety to a newborn session and a selection of pieces for cake smashes! I also have a few special pieces coming into the studio too. A few items that are hand crafted from the states.

Okay, okay, let’s talk bonnets and halos… because this is one that I had stored away and pulled them all out. We had was more than what we expected. We will add a few more dried floral halos in however. I just love them all and can’t decide! I will be adding these collages into our guides for our clients to have a look at. This will allow you to be able to easily pick and choose what you want for your session.

Burleigh Heads QLD Newborn Photography | Reeve’s Session

Burleigh Heads QLD Newborn Photography | Reeve’s Session

The planning – Burleigh Heads QLD Newborn Photography | Reeve’s Session

Jordan and Bianca are good friends of ours and when we found out the were pregnant not long after we were. We knew that we would have to squeeze in a newborn shoot for them! Bianca, had a cesarean with her first baby and had opted for another with Reeve. Which meant we had to account for the recovery and allow an extra week before we got into the studio to photograph Reeve’s newborn session.

But once we had the clear, we had set a date in stone. Now of course we had to plan what props and colours to use for this session and I wanted to pull some inspiration from Reeve’s family home. So a colour palette of creams, browns and blues were perfect. A little bit nautical themed…

The session

Reeve came into the studio and we started off with photographing him in the rattan rectangular basket prop. I added a little bonnet on his head too. He was so little around 3.2kg that I had to adjust the props to fit him in. After we were all finished photographing him in the props. We moved on to the posing bed. We started with bottoms up and ended with Huck Finn (bottoms down). Capturing Reeve, we managed to photograph him on a little swing prop and in a mohair outfit. He did so well.

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.

Tweed Nsw Newborn Photography | Elody’s Newborn Session

Tweed Nsw Newborn Photography | Elody’s Newborn Session

Planning

We were so excited to photograph Elody’s newborn session. Elody’s parents are good friends of ours. They have been patiently waiting for their beautiful bundle of joy to arrive after a few years of trying to conceive. So newborn photos were an absolute must!

When planning for the session, there were a few special heirloom pieces to incorporate. Elody had this beautiful hand knitted baby bonnet that was her mamas when she was a baby. We also incorporated Elody’s special arrival swaddle. A beautiful pink and purple floral swaddle, that was perfect for wrapping around her.

As fas as the set ups go, I was thinking a lot of pinks and creams. I actually purchased a few new props for this session and thought it would be fun to incorporate them. One of our favourite local vendors princess and the pea does amazing props and accessories.

The Session – Tweed Nsw Newborn Photography | Elody’s Newborn Session

Elody arrived in the studio for her photoshoot. She was so beautiful and petite. I actually had to bump a few props up because she was tiny. She did really well in her session. Towards the end was super sleepy. So relaxed to allow me to pose her.

We had specifically made a prop for her session, which was a rustic baby swing that was safely used during one of her lying down poses. Which ended up being the sweetest image. During Elody’s session we got to use a few new props such as the round rattan basket and the mohair beige/brown little newborn outfit.

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.
