Currumbin QLD baby photographer | Tips to creating an easy photoshoot with toddlers

It can be overwhelming for everyone when it comes to the day of family photos. Especially for toddlers and young children. But here at Dreamy Moon Photography, our aim is to create the smoothest experience for you and your family. So here are a few of our favourite tips and ticks to creating an easy photoshoot! Currumbin QLD baby photographer | Tips to creating an easy photoshoot with toddlers.

Tips

The best thing you can start with is gently preparing and building up excitement for your toddler. Explain to them that you’re going to get pictures taken. Let them play with a toy camera or a real old one if you have that on hand. Get them involved! This will help build up anticipation and excitement and give your toddler an element of control and security.
We suggest planing something fun to do after the shoot, for example getting an ice cream. This helps those young children who don’t really want to participate have something to look forward to, because let’s face it. Everybody loves ice cream (we recommend the cream at donut time in Burleigh)!
Now we definitely have a few studio tricks up our sleeve and that is setting up a fun bubbly atmosphere. Here at Dreamy Moon we love playing your Child’s favourite music. Getting the bubbles out and even our little squeaky to that seems to make all the kiddos laugh!
Finally our biggest tip is to stay calm and surrender to the outcome. Children are their own individual autonomous beings. Sometimes truely and autheicallyl capturing the moment makes for the best photos to cherish and look back on! We love a good candid picture over here, something that documents the phase of life that you’re in.

I hope that these tips help you not to stress too much about getting the perfect shot! We love making things easier on your end. And will do everything we can to support that.

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!

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!

Burleigh Heads Baby Photographer | This or That

Let’s play another round! Burleigh Heads Baby Photographer | This or That

This or That, a popular and interactive game over on our Dreamy Moon Photography Instagram page.

If you haven’t heard of this game. It’s where you select your favourite image or prop/ outfit in the case of today. We generally do a poll over on Instagram and boy was it close with some of them competing images. However for the sake of today’s blog, you can just comment down below, what your favourite is.

Round rattan flower basket versus the rectangular rattan basket

Okay starting with the first, and that was the round rattan flower basket versus the rectangular rattan basket. Both amazing props for newborn and sitters. But oh my goodness I did not expect results like this! Everyone love, love, loved that round flower basket. It got 100% of the votes. The rectangular basket (which is my favourite by the way), did not have a chance.

this or that dreamy moon photography instagram game

Client Wardrobe

The second this and that was from our client wardrobe. Two pieces that are used for cake smashes. The first clothing was a pair of sage overalls and the second a little lace onesie. Everyone ended up loving the lace onesie! Winning with a vote of 67-33%. I love both these pieces and think they photograph both really well so I’m fence sitting for this one!

The moon prop versus the cane pram

Okay and the last this and that which was so close guys! When I checked it was 50/50! But there had to be a winner. Everyone loved the moon prop, this prop is amazing for cake smashes. However the cane pram took the votes in the end. I don’t know what it is about a little vintage pram. But you all loved it in the end! It stole all the votes by 64%.

I always love playing this and that, because I’m surprised every time what everyone as a collective ends up loving! Follow us over on our instagram, so you can be apart of our this or that game next time we pull the voting polls out.

The Delivery – Gold Coast QLD baby photographer | New props and accessories!

We love a good prop haul and we love it when the delivery driver drops it off! I kid you not he almost didn’t deliver it because he couldn’t find the studio. So I ran out and met up with him to collect the package. Yeah I’m that keen person, patiently waiting for the packages to arrive! We had a few newborn sessions coming up and I always try to take this opportunity to pick out something new for each baby who comes into the studio. Sometimes when it’s a last minute shoot we don’t always have the chance, but when we do. We take full advantage!

The Props

I went onto my favourite prop vendor and picked out a beaten rattan flower basket, designed for newborn babies. This prop is amazing for getting those sleepy wrapped shots or head on hands. When this prop arrived in the studio, it was even more beautiful in person. In fact we even played ‘this or that’ using this prop and it got 100% of the votes as the preferred prop.

To fill the basket, I selected a little baby pink frilled wrap/ basket filler. As this was for our client Elody’s newborn session. Such a beautiful layer to add a little bit of depth into any photo.

I also picked up a little mohair outfit and matching bonnet. In the shade fawn. This outfit is absolutely the cutest thing I have ever seen. I love purchasing local and buying hand made products. This outfit is a true depiction of that.

Lastly for this little prop haul we actually decided to do a little DIY project. My sister had send me through an inspiration picture of a swing for a baby (totally safe and used as a posed prop only). We just had to make it. So we went to Bunnings and got all the materials we needed. Luca spent the after hand crafting this prop and ensuring it was all smoothed down. Perfect for a newborn baby. Whilst he did that I also put up our little halo and bonnet peg holder on the wall which was also a super cute project.

South Gold Coast Newborn Photographer | Props & Accessories

South Gold Coast Newborn Photographer | Props & Accessories

I had an idea – South Gold Coast Newborn Photographer | Props & Accessories

Over the weekend I had decided to pull every Dreamy Moon Photography prop, accessories and client clothes out into the studio and photograph each individual item. I wanted to craft together an easily accessible place to view everything we currently have in the studio. Of course, it’s is always updating. However maybe I can update this collage and photos regularly!

This was actually an entire afternoon project and I completely underestimated how much we have tucked away in the studio storage closets. Safe to say it was definitely a fun project. It allowed me to take inventory on what we could purchase in the near future and what we probably don’t need. But let’s be real, “I’ll probably buy another shade of cream backdrop”.

I did film a behind the scenes video for those who adore watching the Dreamy Moon Photography YouTube channel.

The client closet…

Now if you have been to the studio, you would know that we love rattan and bamboo everything! Of course the majority of our props were made of those materials. But truely we try to intentionally select props that are made from natural materials.

As for our client wardrobe, there is a huge selection from 0000-size 2. Perfect to add a bit of variety to a newborn session and a selection of pieces for cake smashes! I also have a few special pieces coming into the studio too. A few items that are hand crafted from the states.

Okay, okay, let’s talk bonnets and halos… because this is one that I had stored away and pulled them all out. We had was more than what we expected. We will add a few more dried floral halos in however. I just love them all and can’t decide! I will be adding these collages into our guides for our clients to have a look at. This will allow you to be able to easily pick and choose what you want for your session.
