Newborn Photography Gold Coast QLD | Brayden’s Cake Smash

The planning

It’s cake smash time, Brayden is turning one! Of course we had to get to planning straight away when Brayden’s mama got in contact with me to organise a session. Think blues, sage and browns for this sessions decor. We pulled out the fine art backdrop and dressed Brayden in a sage onesie. Adding a few dried flowers such as wheat and pampas. A perfect combination.

The session

Brayden arrived so bubbly in the studio. We dressed him in his outfit and started the session with some portraits photos. He was such a happy little baby. Clapping and laughing. We played his favourite song, “the wheels on the bus” by cocomelon. After capturing some milestone photos, the cake was brought out. Time for the smash! Brayden had so much fun exploring and squashing the cake. Between his fingers and his toes. He was so fast and was crawling everywhere. We got some super cute images!

It’s splash bath time…

After the cake was all finished we concluded the session with a splash bath. I love using Gaia lavender baby liquid, to create bubble for the splash bath. It’s an all natural brand with minimal toxins. So important for our little babies! Brayden had so much fun splashing around. He was loving all the bubbles and the attention. Full of giggles and laughter, we easily captured the sweetest photos of him!

South Gold Coast Newborn Photographer | Oli’s Cake Smash

South Gold Coast Newborn Photographer | Oli’s Cake Smash

It’s Oli’s Birthday!

We travelled down to Port Stevens to celebrate and capture our nephew “Oli’s” first birthday. This was an extra special photoshoot. As we missed out on capturing his newborn photos due to covid border closures. So we had to make up for lost time and organise a cake smash, of course…

The setup

Now I don’t normally travel for studio photography however, when given the opportunity the creative juices will flow. We decided to decorate Leisa’s (Oli’s mama, aka my sister) spare bedroom. They had just laid down new wooden flooring. Which was perfect for the set up! Adding in Oli’s favourite tonker truck, presents and balloons to finish off the decor. The cake was a chocolate mud cake decorated in rainbow dots. To add the final touches we placed a customised cake topper on top of the cake.

The smash itself

Of course we started the shoot with a classic milestone picture. But Oli wanted the cake straight away! Oli went ham on the cake and it was so cute! He literally picked the whole cake up and was smashing it on the floor. The funniest shoot to date. The cake was quite firm as it was a mud cake, so we gently cut a slice out for Oli to eat. He was nibbling on the slice like a little block of cheese. It was so cute to watch.

It’s always such a pleasure to be able to document the first year of a baby’s life. They honestly change so much and time goes to quickly. It truely is bitter sweet!

Burleigh Heads QLD Newborn Photographer | Luna’s Newborn Session

The Session

Burleigh Heads QLD Newborn Photographer | Luna’s Newborn Session

When Candice contacted me in regards to shooting her surprise baby girl Luna’s newborn session, I was just thrilled. Candice being a boy mama to her son wolf, was so used to all things boy! So of course we had to take inspiration and incorporate lots of little girly aspects into baby Luna’s shoot. Normally I am an all neutrals photographer but sometimes when parents want that little pop of colour, I can’t help myself! Luna was just an angel to shoot. She slept the entire time and was so petite. She fit perfectly in our favourite prop, the tiny trader cane pram.

Candice wanted the full experience. So of course we had our hair and makeup artist come in and pamper this freshly birthed mama. We want all our mamas who come into the studio to feel amazing. What better way to do it than to have your hair and make up professionally styled!

Once Candice had finished getting her hair and make up done and baby Luna’s solo sessions were completed. We changed the studio up and progressed onto a mummy and me session. It’s so important that mama’s jump in for at least one photo with their fresh newborn, because let’s face it. Normally mumma is on the other end of the camera taking the pictures.

The Reveal

Our babies only stay little for so long and we want to preserve those precious moments in time. Candice and her husband came in for their photo reveal a few weeks later. They fell in love with how little Luna was in her session. They change so much in just a short amount of time! An album was the perfect keepsake for this family. We arranged an order for a Fine Art Heirloom Album to be delivered to Candice’s home.
