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: ‘

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

Choosing your props

Theme, are you going minimal, rustic, boho, lots of decor, different colours etc.
What type of session are you doing. Some props are more appropriate for newborns whilst others are more appropriate for older toddlers. Your photographer will give great suggestions!
How big is your little one, stream lining off the previous point… it’s important to discuss the size of your little one with your photographer as the will really narrow down the best prop fit.

Alternatively if choosing your favourite prop is a little overwhelming you can always leave the creative reigns up to your photographer. But it is also nice to have some in put too.

We are constantly updating our prop selection at Dreamy Moon Photography. When you book in you will be sent a guide where you can select your favourite props, outfits and accessories!

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.

Mermaid QLD Newborn Photography | 6 Month Milestone Sessions

6 months old!

It is the phase where they are not quite moving yet but not quite so little anymore. The time when the rolly-polls are getting bigger and their independence is trying to shine through. Can you believe it half way to one! Six months old is such a sweet age and an age that is often overlooked for photos. But I promise you won’t be disappointed if you get them done! Mermaid QLD Newborn Photography | 6 Month Milestone Sessions

We will capture your baby’s personality and development for you to remember. Most babies aren’t quite sitting independently yet at this stage, but thats okay because we have plenty of props to assist. And of course tummy time shots are just the cutest!

Dreamy Moon Photography has a full extensive client wardrobe for your little ones, ranging from itty bitty 0000 all the way up to size 2. Click here to get a sneak peek.

Arnhem-Sol’s milestone session

Recently we captured Arnhem-Sol’s milestone pictures. She was so enthusiastic and bubbly during the shoot. So many giggles and activity going on. We did two outfit changes. Firstly she wore a little gingham romper that showed all her rolls off! The second outfit was a two darlings onesie in the colour mint. I really feel like green is her colour and always try to dress her in that.

We managed to capture some really cute pictures for her 6 month old milestone session. If you would love to schedule your baby’s 6 month old photos in, Click Here…

Varsity Lakes QLD Newborn Photography | Tips for Gorgeous Outdoor Photos

Varsity Lakes QLD Newborn Photography | Tips for Gorgeous Outdoor Photos

So you may recognise our brand as predominantly studio photography. But we love a great outdoor photoshoot from time to time and have plenty of experience and tips to share!

So before we get into our tips, we just want to mention that you can apply all these tips and tricks but nothing beats an experienced photographer. Quality over quantity is key!

With all that said, let’s get into the tips!

Time of day is so important for flattering photos. We love shooting really early in the morning or of course sunset in the golden hour hues. This will give your subject the most beautiful complexion in comparison to harsh light and heavy shadows.
Choosing a photographer who knows how to make the most out of the environment allows for creativity to flourish. At Dreamy Moon Photography we love incorporating the nature into your photos and getting creative with the lens, bokeh, foreground and background.
Your environment matters! It’s not pretty to take images in front of rubbish, heavy distractions like crowds of people etc. Even if you are in a busy or distracting area, the right photograph will be able to capture the best angles that avoid all those distractions.
Clothing and cohesiveness go a long way, your outfits and appearance will be a reflection of the vibe of your final image. Avoid bright colours, obnoxious logos and heavy patterns! You don’t have to be matchy, matchy but cohesiveness is key. Think same tone family, an item that ties everyone together. A theme like boho, clean, modern, minimalistic, rustic etc.
Finally being open to letting your photograph take the lead and allowing that creative control to flourish. Trusting the process allows for some of the most amazing and beautiful images.

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!

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!

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!
