The path to parenthood can be a winding road, filled with hopes, dreams, and sometimes challenges that test our strength. For Riki-Lee and Sean, their journey to welcome their precious baby William into the world was a heartfelt adventure, marked by love, resilience, and the miracles of modern medicine.
The Beginning of the Journey
Riki-Lee and Sean always dreamed of starting a family. Like many couples, they envisioned a home filled with laughter, love, and the joy that children bring. However, as they began their journey, they faced unexpected challenges that would lead them to explore the world of IVF.
After months of trying to conceive naturally, they realized that they would need a little extra help. Though the diagnosis was overwhelming, Riki-Lee and Sean embraced the opportunity to take control of their journey and pursue IVF, a decision that would ultimately change their lives forever.
The IVF Process
The IVF process is a complex and emotional journey. Riki-Lee and Sean approached it with a mixture of hope and apprehension. They navigated the various steps, from hormone injections and egg retrieval to fertilization and embryo transfer, with the support of a dedicated medical team.
Throughout the process, they found strength in each other. Late nights filled with medication schedules, countless appointments, and the rollercoaster of emotions became shared experiences that strengthened their bond. They learned to celebrate small victories, whether it was a successful egg retrieval or the excitement of seeing a viable embryo.
The Emotional Rollercoaster
IVF can be an emotional journey, filled with highs and lows. Riki-Lee and Sean experienced the joy of positive tests and the heartbreak of setbacks. Each cycle brought new hope but also new fears. They leaned on each other for support, finding comfort in the knowledge that they were not alone in this journey.
To cope with the emotional toll, they turned to friends and family, who offered love and encouragement. They also sought solace in community groups, connecting with others who understood their struggles. Sharing their story became a source of strength, reminding them of the incredible community that surrounds the journey of parenthood.
The Joyful Arrival of Baby William
After what felt like an eternity of waiting, the moment they had dreamed of finally arrived: they were expecting! The joy and excitement of seeing those two pink lines on the test brought tears of happiness. The journey had been long, but it was all worth it for the miracle they were about to welcome into their lives.
Riki-Lee and Sean held their beautiful baby boy, William, in their arms for the first time. In that moment, all the challenges they faced faded away, replaced by an overwhelming sense of love and gratitude. William was their dream come true, a testament to their unwavering determination and love.
Reflecting on the Journey

They hope that by sharing their story, they can inspire others facing similar struggles. Parenthood is not always an easy path, but with support, love, and determination, dreams can come true.
A Bright Future
Now, as they embark on this new chapter as a family of three, Riki-Lee and Sean are filled with excitement for the future. They look forward to creating beautiful memories with William, cherishing every moment of his growth and milestones.

Celebrating Arcadia’s 6-Month Milestone: A Vintage-Inspired Photoshoot
It’s hard to believe that Arcadia is already six months old! This special milestone calls for a celebration, and what better way to commemorate it than with a charming photoshoot that captures her growing personality? With vintage bonnets, adorable gingham outfits, and lovely rattan basket props, we created a delightful setting that truly reflects her sweet spirit.
Embracing Vintage Charm
For Arcadia’s 6-month milestone, we opted for a vintage-inspired theme that beautifully showcases her innocence and charm. Vintage bonnets added a touch of timeless elegance, framing her lovely face and highlighting her bright, curious eyes. These delicate accessories not only look adorable but also evoke a sense of nostalgia, transporting us back to simpler times.
To complement the vintage vibe, we dressed Arcadia in delightful gingham outfits. The classic checkered pattern is not only stylish but also incredibly versatile, adding a playful touch to her photos. Whether she was in a sweet little dress or a charming romper, the gingham perfectly matched her bubbly personality, creating a wonderful contrast against the soft, natural backgrounds we chose.
The Perfect Props: Rattan Baskets
Incorporating rattan baskets into the shoot added an organic and whimsical feel to the overall aesthetic. These lovely props provided a cozy nook for Arcadia to sit and explore, making for some truly enchanting images. We styled her in the basket with soft blankets and sweet toys, capturing candid moments of curiosity and joy as she interacted with her surroundings.
Capturing Milestone Moments
As we photographed Arcadia, it was heartwarming to witness her personality shine through. At six months, she’s full of smiles, giggles, and newfound mobility, making every moment a delight to capture. From her curious expressions to her playful antics, each click of the camera froze a beautiful memory in time, celebrating not just her growth but also the joy she brings to her family.
A Treasure for the Future
These milestone photos are more than just images; they are treasured keepsakes that encapsulate a precious moment in Arcadia’s life. As she continues to grow, these photographs will serve as a reminder of her early days—full of charm, innocence, and vintage elegance.
A Sweet Celebration
Arcadia’s 6-month milestone photoshoot was a joyous occasion filled with laughter, love, and delightful vintage charm. We are so grateful to have had the opportunity to capture these special moments and create lasting memories for her family.
Happy 6 months, sweet Arcadia! May your journey ahead be filled with adventure, love, and endless joy!
I swear I say this every month but the first year truely flies. A mixture between blissful chaos, sleepless nights and a whole lot of snuggles and infinite love!
I am sure if you’re still in the phase of your babies first year you can totally relate!
So here we are at 11 months old and it is time to do another milestone photoshoot. I had just finished up a newborn photoshoot that day and was in the middle of packing up the studio whilst Arnhem napped. I just had this urge to pick her up and pose her like a newborn again.
And she totally let me! Well with a bit of persistence of course! I won’t lie, it probably took me an hour to get her into bottoms up pose without waking her up. Everything I would pose her little hand or foot she would starfish out! But we got there in the end and it was totally worth the patience.
I love that I have a photo to compare to from her newborn shoot to her 11 month shoot.
When she was awake and her brother was home, I decided to capture few pictures of the both of them. Arnhem was dressed in her romper from tiny traders and we had used the new bamboo bed prop. They were so cute posing together.
At 11 months old, they truely have so much personality to capture!
Want to book in a milestone session for your baby?
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 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!
