Gold Coast QLD Baby Photographer | Christmas Mini Sessions were a Jolly!

Gold Coast QLD Baby Photographer | Christmas Mini Sessions were a Jolly!

This previous weekend, some of our Christmas Mini families came into the studio to view and select their favourite images. Turning them into Albums, Prints, Folio Boxes and so much more… To create timeless memories for years to come.

We all had so much fun creating everlasting memories of Christmas 2022. The children were so excited once they saw the warm lights, aspen Christmas trees and all the festive decorations!

Each family came in for their mini session, where we spent 10-15 minutes capturing all the joys and laughter. Ages ranged from 3 months old to 8 years old and of course some of the parents jumped ion for photos too. We had bubbles and Christmas music playing and at the end the kiddos received a special Dreamy Moon Photography gift bag. Their faces lit up when the saw the little pressie.

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!

Miami QLD Newborn Photographer | Arnhem & Theo’s Christmas Mini

Miami QLD Newborn Photographer | Arnhem & Theo’s Christmas Mini

The session

Arnhem and Theo love getting photos taken, well Theo more than Arnhem…. But you know how temperamental babies can be. One minute they are all for the photos and the next they need their mama and dada. But that is why investing into an experienced baby photographer is key.

I can guarantee that we can turn any sour situation into timeless captured moments of your little one!

The outfits

For Arnhem and Theo’s shoot they wore neutral complimentary outfits. Arnhem was dressed in a plain white, ribbed romper paired with a muted pink bow and an oatmeal bonnet which we switched up in the middle of the shoot.

As for Theodore, he wore light blue jeans and an oatmeal linen long sleeved shirt. Of course he wanted to throw a bit of personality into the shoot, as five year olds do. So we accessorised with his favourite green sunglasses.

The little moments

Theo is always so happy to get photos taken. He is always asking to be in front of the camera and poses so well. From contagious smiles to the cheekiest expressions.

Arnhem took a little while to warm up. She wasn’t happy at first but after a quick little milk break she was ready to jump in and pose for the photos.

Arnhem is just starting to sit so we popped her in the sleigh with Theo behind and then on her tummy for some floor shots.

The photoshoot was so fun and the memories are truly timeless and everlasting!

Baby Photos Gold Coast | The difference between DMP & other togs

Baby Photos Gold Coast | The difference between DMP & other togs

Baby Photos Gold Coast | The difference between DMP & other togs

We are spoilt with choice on the Gold Coast, when it comes to family, baby and newborn photographers. There are so many different styles from lifestyle, to studio, fine art and so much more!

But it can definitely be a little overwhelming when choosing the photographer that will be best for you and your family!

So in today’s blog, I wanted to share with you some handy tips to choosing the best photographer for your needs. And the difference with booking into Dreamy Moon Photography in comparison to everyone else on the Gold Coast.

Photoshoot type?

Firstly it’s important to know what type of shoot you want. Whether that be newborn, cakesmash, family, wedding ect. The list goes on.

Once you have that down pat, you can have a little think about what style you gravitate towards. Do you love indoors, outdoors, light and airy, moody, creamy, high end.

This will give you a great visual representation on who you should gravitate towards. Style is the most important thing in my opinion!

Next you should discuss a budget. Is this a once in a lifetime photo shoot opportunity such as newborn photos (they’re only young for so long), where you should splurge a bit.

Do you want a full tailored experience…

Where all the planing and printing is organised for you. All you have to do is turn up and have fun! Or are you happy with a fast paced digital only shoot, where you do have to put more effort into it?

Once you have those things in mind you can go onto choosing your ideal photographer.

Dreamy Moon Photography is an experience that takes all the stress out of organising photos. We work alongside you for every little detail from the initial consultation, wardrobe and prop selections to hand selecting the best images that will suit your family’s needs and be presented on the walls of your home!

Miami Qld Newborn Photographer | October Haul!

Miami Qld Newborn Photographer | October Haul!

New props

We can’t start the month of October off without getting a few little props! Or in our case accessories. We love supporting local vendors and small Australian businesses. Which is why we always try to shop as local as possible!

I feel like when you run a business that involves babies, it’s so easy to continuously upgrade the client closet because everything is so cute! Of course we want to also have new upgraded things for our clients to use too!

So let’s jump straight into the little haul!

We were really vibing the blossom and pear range at the moment. So we got on the band wagon and purchased the sweetest little over sized bow in the colour muted pink. This is such a versatile piece for newborns all the way to cakesmash babies. It has the perfect amount of stretch to accommodate for most baby sizes.

This little head band will be perfectly paired with a little white romper or dress. Or even a neutral coloured newborn wrap! We can not wait to use it in our next photography session.

All the accessories!

The second little accessories that we purchased was the sweetest little hand knitted bonnet. In the colour beige. This will be perfect for 6 month old sessions and sitter milestones. It will pair perfectly with any neutral outfit or even the cord knitted onesie that we have in our client closet.

We also went a little over board on Christmas mini decor but you’ll have to read our Christmas blog to find out all about the goodies!

Robina QLD Newborn Photographer | The ultimate guide to choosing the right photographer

Robina QLD Newborn Photographer | The ultimate guide to choosing the right photographer

I can not stress this enough! The photographer handling your precious, delicate newborn baby. Needs to be professionally trained and up to newborn photography safety standards!

Please don’t be persuaded by a cheap deal when it comes to this. We have seen time and time again babies being injured from incorrect handling by untrained photographers attempting these style shoots.

What you need to know

I wanted to get onto the blog today and put together a full list of the ultimate guide to selecting a newborn photographer. Especially in an unregulated industry. At Dreamy Moon Photography, we want you to have the best and safest outcome. Beautiful newborn pictures for you to treasure for years to come!

being the scenes newborn photography Robina qld

First things first

Okay first things first… Is the newborn photographer a legitimate photographer or are they just someone advertising cheap images on Facebook?

How do you find this out? Well do they hold an abn? Have they got credentials or have trained with experts in the field. Do they have a website, an Omnipresence. Have they got any awards or recognitions? All these things we’ll help you set a part an expert compared to an amateur.

Don’t let budget affect quality

And I know that sometimes budget can be an issue and can dictate the over decision but most experienced photographers do offer payment plans and if you book in early, you will have plenty of time to pay the shoot off.

Ps, we offer afterpay now!

Okay quality over quantity!! This is so important and can easily be missed. Wouldn’t you rather have 10 amazing images that you can print and creat the most sensational and timeless gallery wall to display in your home. Rather than 60-70 mediocre images that will just get lost on the internet?

South Gold Coast Newborn Photographer | Props, accessories and more!

Now the fun stuff!

Because this is the ultimate guide I do want to get into some of the fun things, now that we got the serious topics out of the way.

Choose a photographer based on the style you love. Are they a studio photographer? Do they shoot lifestyle? Are they rustic, minimal, boho, dark, light? Do they specialise in posing newborns such as froggy, bottoms up and taco. Or do they photography babies in a more relaxed presentation?

Does your photographer offer an exclusive experience such as dreamy moon photographer. Where everything is taken care of and all you have to do is sit, relax and snack.

We take pride in running a full exclusive experience for our clients, that is not only safe, reputable and experienced. But also tailored, easy going and unique!

Baby Photos Gold Coast | Christmas is just around the corner!

How exciting! it is almost that time of the year again! This year has honestly gone so fast for the Dreamy Moon Photography family! And now it is almost Christmas time… We love Christmas, I mean who doesn’t? But there is honestly nothing more exciting than being apart of the festivities and capturing the moments of your babies first Christmas and your children’s reaction to all the magic that December brings about!

Of course we will be doing our annual Christmas mini sessions. This year we are offering both studio and outdoor sessions. We just picked up a few new Christmas themed props too! Who can’t forget about Mrs Clause, she will be back offering a feminine alternative to Santa! Someone that the kids can be super comfortable with!

Outdoor Christmas minis are the perfect alternative to the standard shopping centre Santa photos. You will be allotted a private time slot where you do not have to line up for ages! The best part of it all is that this year you will be able to select your favourite images and have the option to add more if you choose so.

We have specifically selected our Christmas minis to be photographed at the end of October. That way you will have plenty of time to organise gifts and have your images back in time for Christmas!

Burleigh Heads QLD Newborn Photography | Postpartum Anxiety

Burleigh Heads QLD Newborn Photography | Postpartum Anxiety

Those postpartum anxiety feels creep up out of nowhere!

One minute you’re in a total baby bliss bubble the next you’re questioning everything. I wanted to touch base on my own personal experience with postpartum anxiety this time around after having my baby this year, February 2022. I can’t even remember when it became a thing but it just became something that I started to notice would creep up often.

Trigger warning. For people who may feel upset by the talk of post natal anxiety, fears and depression.

In 2016

In 2016 prior to having my first son I was in a major car accident. That kind of kick started a lot of my traumas surrounding death and loss of loved ones. Throw a baby into a mix and that was years of therapy that I committed too. I truely thought I was past those traumas until I had my second baby. The postpartum phase amplifies a lot of suppressed issues.

I started having panic attacks in the middle of the night. Worried that my baby would stop breathing even when she was perfectly fine and safe. I would fear that if I let people mind her, she might get hurt. (Absolutely not the case at all though). Sometimes I would get worried that in the car she would stop breathing and I wouldn’t know because I was driving.

Driving became very limited with our baby because she absolutely hates the car and I could not bear to leave the house due to my debilitating anxiety.

This is just the tip of the iceberg to my experience with postpartum anxiety. I’m so blessed to have the most supportive fiancé. An incredible circle of family, friends and community.

To be on the other side…

I’m so glad to be on the other side of this. Thank to some handy tips that I fell back on. Such as a strong routine, an ear to talk to and really slowing down. These are somethings that worked for me and may be different for everyone.

If you or anyone you know is suffering from postpartum anxiety, please reach out to the helplines.

Dreamy Moon Photography is located on the southern end of the Gold Coast at Burleigh Heads. Exit 87.

Beautiful wooden floors line our rustic/ coastal themed studio High 8 foot ceilings that let the amazing natural light in. White paint covers the walls. Which allows the light to bounce the around, giving optimal lighting for the studio.

Secondly the space is divided into 3 main areas. The shooting zone, is where we do the majority of our shooting. Where we put our backdrop and backdrop sheer curtain stain. Our posing bed for newborn babies and of course our favourite elinchrom studio flash light.

Our next zone is where our parents and clients get to sit and get super cozy during shooting sessions. It house our love seat and rocking chair. The perfect place to have a tea or cold beverage. We also use this space for our viewing area when we get to showcase all your photos from our session on our flatscreen tv.

Finally the lifestyle area section. This is the area where we can create more of a documentary, candid and laidback photograph. This area is draped with beautiful oatmeal linen curtains. There is a bleached jasmine jute rug and a floor bed perfect for those candid shots. The bed is dressed in a plain white cover and decorated with lots of textures. Natural elements such as wooden beads and pampas grass are added for a touch of decor.
