Gold Coast QLD Baby Photographer | Milestone Session

9 Months Already!

Can you believe Arnhem-Sol is already 9 months old! This years has truely gone so fast and I can’t stress enough the importance of getting at least one professional photoshoot done with your little one. If you’re anything like me, you want to preserve this time as much as possible! And the best way to do it is by capturing the moment. To have something to hold and look back on is so magical.

We were inspired to do this milestone session after a cakesmash session that I did earlier. I had a bunch of balloons left over and thought it would be cute to do a dressed splash bath. So I tied the bouquet of balloons to the little tub and dressed Arnhem in her little white romper. Safe to say she loved it!

So much splashing and laughing! We captured the cutest smiles. Arnhem, now being 9 months old was throwing some bold moves in there! Pulling herself up and standing had me on my toes. Of course Luca was there to spot her.

Safety

Safety is our number one priority at Dreamy Moon Photography. In fact we just recently updated our first aid training with Tiny Hearts Education. Tiny Hearts Education is an amazing resource for both parents and professionals, bringing real life first aid situations and applying the skills needed to address them in their courses.

But back to the milestone shoot! We captured some very sweet photos and wrapped it up with some cuddles….

Two darlings Christmas outfit, photography session Gold Coast QLD

Burleigh Heads QLD Newborn Photography | November Haul

We love a good monthly haul here at Dreamy Moon Photography. Of course we have to share with you what we picked up for the studio this month! Firstly, if you can not tell from the pictures by now, this theme is very Christmas orientated! Tis’ the season to get into all the reds, greens, golds and festive colours! And we just couldn’t help ourselves with some of these cute Christmas outfits!

The Outfits!

The first outfit we picked up is a gorgeous red and white pin striped ruffled little romper by Bencer and Hazelnut. Which can be paired with a white ruffled under shirt. Or something with a saying, for example ‘ Baby’s first Christmas’…. This piece is going to photography so beautifully on your little ones! It can also be used for both Christmas and festivities, but also a cake smash session if you love the colour red or vintage look.

Next we picked up a little white linen ruffle sleeved romper from one of our favourite baby boutiques, two darlings.. This romper is absolutely gorgeous and such a versatile piece being all white. This romper can be used for the festivities, but also family sessions, sibling sessions, milestone sessions and of course cake smashes. It also has and adjustable back which will accomodate for a variety of sizes between 00-1.

To add to the festivities, our recent purchase was a sibling plaid Christmas set. A little baby romper and a matching big brother shirt & shorts set. This set is absolutely adorable and will be perfect for Christmas Sessions!

We will be bringing all of these outfits, plus more to our Christmas Mini Sessions and the Hide and Seek Markets in Upper Coomera on the 19th of November and the 10th of December.

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!

Gold Coast QLD baby photographer | New props and accessories

Gold Coast QLD baby photographer | New props and accessories

The Delivery – Gold Coast QLD baby photographer | New props and accessories!

We love a good prop haul and we love it when the delivery driver drops it off! I kid you not he almost didn’t deliver it because he couldn’t find the studio. So I ran out and met up with him to collect the package. Yeah I’m that keen person, patiently waiting for the packages to arrive! We had a few newborn sessions coming up and I always try to take this opportunity to pick out something new for each baby who comes into the studio. Sometimes when it’s a last minute shoot we don’t always have the chance, but when we do. We take full advantage!

The Props

I went onto my favourite prop vendor and picked out a beaten rattan flower basket, designed for newborn babies. This prop is amazing for getting those sleepy wrapped shots or head on hands. When this prop arrived in the studio, it was even more beautiful in person. In fact we even played ‘this or that’ using this prop and it got 100% of the votes as the preferred prop.

To fill the basket, I selected a little baby pink frilled wrap/ basket filler. As this was for our client Elody’s newborn session. Such a beautiful layer to add a little bit of depth into any photo.

I also picked up a little mohair outfit and matching bonnet. In the shade fawn. This outfit is absolutely the cutest thing I have ever seen. I love purchasing local and buying hand made products. This outfit is a true depiction of that.

Lastly for this little prop haul we actually decided to do a little DIY project. My sister had send me through an inspiration picture of a swing for a baby (totally safe and used as a posed prop only). We just had to make it. So we went to Bunnings and got all the materials we needed. Luca spent the after hand crafting this prop and ensuring it was all smoothed down. Perfect for a newborn baby. Whilst he did that I also put up our little halo and bonnet peg holder on the wall which was also a super cute project.

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.

South Gold Coast Newborn Photographer | Head on hands pose

28/05/2022 No Comments

Head on hands…

This pose captures the natural curliness of your newborn baby. It showcases how sleepy they are. Their ability to just be placed in any position and be content as a bug in a rug.

How the pose is safely done:

The head on hands pose consists of gently posing your baby’s head to lay on top of their arms. Crossing over their little legs and allowing them to be on their tummy. Your baby’s head will be facing out to the side towards the camera. So we can capture their precious little face. This pose can be done on a newborn posing bean. A prop, like the moon pillow above. Or in a basket, bed or drawer prop.

Creativity in the pose:

There are an abundance of creative ways you can incorporate into this pose. Such as draping a blanket over the baby, dressing them up in a little outfit or showcasing all their squish!

Safety, Safety, Safety!

I say this time and time again… But it is the most important part about newborn photography. The safety of your precious baby is of utter most importance to the Dreamy Moon Photography team. That is why we will continuously update our training and safety skills with some of the best professional trainers around. Such as Tiny Hearts Education, this sister and mama led business is one of Australian leading educator in first aid. They have an updated module of first aid training and neo natal stress identifiers. Dreamy Moon Photography is trained in identifying any unusual signs with your newborn, during our session together.
