Robina QLD Newborn Photographer | Hide and seek children’s market

The day of the Christmas Mini Markets:

We had so much fun photographing everyone’s Christmas minis at Hide and Seek children’s markets. It was so lovely meeting all of the children and their families and of course making incredible memories to finish up 2022.

The day started quite early at 6:30 but gave the Dreamy Moon Team plenty of time to set up and make everything perfect to start taking pictures at 8:00.

We have a variety of families come through and get their Christmas pictures taken. Enjoying use of our Christmas client closet.

Our first clients were absolutely adorable! Little cousins all dressed up in their Christmas outfits. Once’s warmed up they were full of little giggles. We got the sweetest little family photos of them! All dressed up in their little cohesive outfits was big brother Cooper and his baby sister Milly. Capturing the biggest smiles!

We photographed the most sweetest little siblings. Dressed in the most beautiful maroon Christmas dress and the little crochet baby onesie from our client closet. Florence and her brother Ezy were making every swoon with their cute expressions!

Getting out and meeting the community is always such a pleasure and we can’t wait to do it again in December!

If you missed out on Christmas Mini Sessions, we are hosting one more round on the 11th of December: ‘

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!

Have a first birthday coming up? Lets connect….

Tips and Tricks

Book your photographer early 2-3 months is a great amount of time. This will ensure that you get to be photographed by your dream photographer who may book out quickly! Your photographer should be very accommodating if you need to reschedule or cancel if anything arises.
Plan out with your photographer exactly what vibe you’re going for. Is it studio or outdoor photography? Neutrals or lots of colours… Do you want solo shots or with your partner and other children. This will ensure that you get the best outcome of the day.
If you’re photographer doesn’t provide a client closet. Put together some outfits and show your photographer to get a professional opinion. At Dreamy Moon Photography we have a range of maternity outfits and a dress guide if you would like to put your own outfit together.
Mama this is the time for you! Get pampered, we suggest getting your hair and makeup professionally done which we can provide in our studio. This will just take any pressure off you. It will allow you to truely relax and enjoy your shoot. I know that pregnancy can make you feel a little bit your self and we want you to feel as beautiful as possible!
And last but certainly not least! Have fun, relax and enjoy the shoot. Trust your photographer they will only capture the best angles and really make you feel like a star on the day. You’re creating beautiful moments and soon enough you will meet your baby.

Tweed NSW Cake Smash Photographer | Why Your Photos Need To Be Printed By a Pro

They come out grainy and discoloured…

Have you ever gone to Kmart or Big W to print off some pictures from your iPhone and they come out totally poor quality, grainy and the colours are all muddy? I have out of convenience and I regret it every time! Tweed NSW Cake Smash Photographer | Why Your Photos Need To Be Printed By a Pro

That is because of a few reasons;

The machines are designed for fast pace and not quality.
The ink and paper that is used is cheap and convenient
Your images a probably not formatted correctly to be printed directly from your phone. Quality is lost
Your phone is not calibrated with the printer meaning the colours have a high chance of being off.
They are not really designed to print large images.

Cake Smash Photographer Gold Coast QLD | Why your Photographer won’t give you raws

Disclaimer: Every baby, child and person is beautiful before & after editing. Editing is used as a tool for artistic enhancement.

Let’s talk about raw files!

I know this is something that is super controversial in both the photographer and client world. But I wanted to use today’s blog to educate you on the reasons why most photographers will not actually give you the raw files.

Firstly let’s talk about what a raw file actually is. So a raw file isn’t just the unedited version of the picture but is actually a huge file of unprocessed and processed data. It’s uncompressed data that is used in an external program such as lightroom or photoshop. Which is used to process an image to its fullest potential.

With that in mind you need a program to even open a raw file. Sending and receiving raw files requires a huge amount of space which most people don’t have unless they work in photography or digital media etc.

Most photographers won’t send through raw images for both of the reasons above however there are a few more reasons why they won’t either. A raw files is not a true representation of the photographers work. Photography is an art and a raw file is an unfinished canvas. It’s the bare minimum.

It’s like being sold an unfinished product.

As a fellow photographer. We want your experience with photography to be a completed process. For you to receive quality artwork at the end. For your experience to be ingrained in the final products.

So please don’t get offended when your photographer won’t give you the raw image as you’re hiring them to create art for you and an enjoyable experience.

Hopefully this blog gives you a little bit of insight as why most togs avoid giving out raw images.
