Gold Coast QLD Baby Photographer | Charlie’s Woodland-Inspired Session

Nestled within the cozy embrace of home, Tiana had the pleasure of capturing a truly enchanting newborn photography session for Charlie, the newest addition to our family. Inspired by the tranquility of woodland aesthetics and infused with a palette of creams, sage, and brown. Charlie’s session unfolded as a magical journey into a world of timeless beauty.

Charlie’s session took place right within the heart of his home. Creating an intimate and comfortable space for both baby and family. The decision to opt for an in-home lifestyle session was driven by a desire to capture the authenticity and warmth that can only be found within the walls of one’s own abode.

Woodland Whispers:

The inspiration for Charlie’s session was drawn from the enchanting allure of woodlands. We sought to infuse the shoot with a touch of the whimsical, incorporating natural textures, earthy elements, and a palette reminiscent of the forest walls. The choice of creams, sage, and brown allowed us to create a harmonious visual narrative, weaving a seamless connection between the woodland theme and the cozy charm of his home.

Capturing Charlie’s Essence:

Little Charlie, with his delicate features and serene expressions, was the perfect muse for the woodland-inspired theme. From snug wraps to rustic props, each element was curated to complement his tiny form and bring out the natural beauty of this precious newborn stage.

A Palette of Timeless Beauty:

The creams, sage, and brown color palette worked in tandem to create a sense of timeless beauty throughout the session. Soft creams enveloped Charlie in warmth. While sage accents added a touch of freshness, and brown undertones grounded the entire aesthetic. Echoing the serenity of a woodland haven.

Cherished Moments:

As the session unfolded, the woodland-inspired theme provided the perfect set up for capturing moments of pure love and joy. From the tender embrace of his parents to the gentle exploration of baby fingers and toes, each photograph became a visual poem. Narrating the story of a family welcoming their newest member.

Charlie’s in-home lifestyle woodland-themed newborn session was more than just a photoshoot. It was a celebration of family, love, and the beauty that surrounds us every day. The choice of creams, sage, and brown served as a canvas. Painting a picture of natural elegance and timeless simplicity. As we conclude this heartwarming session, we are left with images that not only freeze moments in time. But also evoke a sense of serenity and enchantment. Charlie, with his woodland-inspired debut, has etched his story into the tapestry of our family’s memories. We look forward to watching him grow surrounded by the warmth and love captured in these photographs.

Karynne’s Newborn Session | Currumbin qld baby photographer

The Sweetest session:

Karynne’s baby boy was the sleepiest little munchkin ever!

Karynne, her partner Steven and mother arrived in our studio to get some newborn family photographs done with their latest addition!

Traveling all the way from Lismore to work with Dreamy Moon Photography!

The session went amazing and bubba slept the entire way through. We started off by giving him a big feed as he had been in the car for over an hour and a half. After he had a full tummy we started the session. Posing him in several different props, such as the bamboo bed, round and rectangular basket.

Dreamy Family Photos:

The session was followed by family photos of momma and dad, then some solo parent images. Of course we had to get nanny in the images with her first grandson! We capture a few family images of the four of them and a solo shot with nanny and bubba boy.

Because he was doing so amazing we took him over to the posing bed and capture a pose in ‘bottoms up’ and some relaxed poses.

We always try to accomodate for our clients who travel far to come and do a session with us. So we had organised to do a viewing session in the same day. Whist I was lightly editing them image and making sure they were perfect, Karynne and her family spent some time looking over our studio samples.

There were so many sweet images to choose from Karynne’s and Steve fell in love with our luxury album and selected an heirloom to treasure for life!

Miami QLD Newborn Photographer | Baby Grace

Miami QLD Newborn Photographer | Baby Grace

Paige messaged me in regard to scheduling a newborn photography session for her first baby girl, Grace. Grace was born with an Omphalocele. This can occur when a baby’s abdominal organs are pushed through their umbilical cord. A rare conditions that can be both minor or serious. Grace thankfully was only affected minimally and did not require surgery. Her obstetric medical team handled the issue with ease.

Firstly Dreamy Moon Photography is specifically trained to handle issues that arise with newborns at birth. Common injuries such as Omphalocele, brachial plexus palsy, caput saccidaneum, bone fractures, perinatal asphyxia etc…

Secondly, we will always accomodate our session around your baby if they have experienced a birth injury.

The session

During our session had to accommodate for baby Grace’s abdominal area as it had dressing on it from her procedure and was tender and sore. We avoided any poses on her tummy and stuck with wrapped poses in the props and side lying poses on the posing bed.

Finally focusing on the family component, we captured some amazing breastfeeding imaged of Paige and baby Grace. Solo parent images and family images of the three of them!

We can not wait to see what images Paige and her hubby select from baby Grace’s Newborn and Family Session… Stay tuned!

Mermaid qld newborn photography | Central Cyanosis

Choosing a Newborn Photographer

When it comes time to choosing a photographer to handle your newborn baby it is so important to consider the safety and qualifications that the photographer holds. It is so much more than just a “budget”.

Your baby’s safety should be the number one priority. When you choose to work with a professionally trained newborn photographer, the risk of injury is greatly decreased.

Have you ever heard of Central Cyanosis?

It is blue discolouration in the lips and chest area and visible mucous membranes occurs when there is an inadequate amount of oxygenation. This can be increased if baby is posed in an incorrect position or if there is an underlying condition.

If your photographer is not trained correctly to identify things such as central cyanosis, there is a higher risk of serious conditions for your newborn. At Dreamy Moon Photography we take your baby’s safety extremely seriously. We have done adequate training to:

1. Correctly pose your baby in the safest way possible and

2. Identify underlying birth issues such as central Cyanosis. Which then we can best recommend you to follow it up with your chosen health practitioner.

When you hire a professional photographer you can have reassurance knowing your baby is in the safest hands possible. That their safety comes before a perfect image. But don’t worry, we have confidence that we can achieve both!

If you’re pregnant or know someone expecting, please share this blog with them and the importance of choosing a professional photographer who is trained to identify birth injuries and issues such as central cyanosis.

Burleigh Heads Baby Photographer | Fairy Mini Session

We went adventuring to the Gold Coast Lakelands! A beautiful nature reserve that is literally perfect for outdoor photos!

I had a vision to do a whimsical fairy milestone session amongst the arch trees.

So we pulled the sage coloured tutu out and dressed Arnhem in it. She’s always testing out the up and coming ideas.

Finding the perfect location at the reserve was super easy. It was perfectly shaded with a glimpse of sun shining through the trees. Amazing to take photos during the middle of the day. If you know, you know!

Arnhem did amazing sitting there under the trees and posing like a little fairy. Lots of and laughter came from her! Now the magic is in the edit of this particular photo, to create a whimsical fairy enchanted image, we got creative in photoshop.

Everyone loved the fairy look, and maybe convinced us to do some mini sessions early next year, what do you think?
