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: ‘

Cake Smash Photographer Gold Coast QLD | Preparing for a Cake Smash!

Cake smashes are so fun!

There is just something so magical about planing, decorating and creating first birthday magic.

Today’s blog is a little different. I thought it would be a different perspective to share with you some of the behind the scenes process of organising a cake smash.

Of course it starts with the booking process. Once all booked in we start the planning. We love involving our clients in the planing process and have a huge selection of props and outfits that you can choose from in our preparation guide. Alternatively you can always leave the creative process up to us, if it’s not really your thing or you love a surprise!

Next is the fun part

Our team will go out into the field and organise anything that needs external planning such as the cake, balloons, outfits or any particular decor.

Cake decorating is one of the things that we also do in house and love creating unique naked cakes for each set up. Some have drives florals others gold flakes or other amazing designs! And of course the set up, putting everything together and intentionally adding in little details to really create that magic!

Finally the cake smash itself. Capturing those first memories of tasting cake (mostly for the first time) is so precious! The giggles and laughter. The toes between the cake slices and the messy little hands!

Have a first birthday coming up? Lets connect….

Mermaid QLD Newborn Photography | 6 Month Milestone Sessions

Robina QLD Newborn Photographer | Why your should meet with your photographer after the session

Have you…

Have you ever had a photoshoot with a photograph that you met on the day, did a quick photoshoot. Got your image download link and then nothing…. You never really hear from them again. Maybe you see some of their work pop up but it’s just a person in passing.

Sometimes this can be referred to as shoot and burn photography. It’s quick fast paced but doesn’t work on building relationships or strong rapport. As a luxury tailored experience, photographer. We do not want you feeling that way if you work with Dreamy Moon Photography.

Here are some of the reason we believe you should meet your photographer more than once!

Firstly, it’s so important to develop a trusting relationship with your photographer. This will help you feel 100x more relaxed during your shoot. If you have young children, this will also help them be less timid with a stranger.

Not only will you and your children feel more comfortable but you will also have more reassurance and trust in your photographers creative expertise, the way they run their studio and confidence in the final outcome.

When you invest into your photographer, to help create amazing family heirlooms you need an element of trust.

At Dreamy Moon, we do not want to be strangers! We love meeting new families and creating everlasting relationships and connections. So many of our clients love and benefit from having a close rapport with our team. They know that if anything comes up we are a text or a phone call away. And nothing is awkward about it at all.

Meeting up with your photographer after your session allows them to deliver to exceptional standards! One of our favourite things to do with our clients after their product deliver is to drop off a little pressie either at their work or home. This just allows our clients to know how much we appreciate and value them.

In today blog I am going to share with you all the tips and tricks that we tell our maternity clients at Dreamy Moon Photography to best prepare for their maternity shoot.

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.

Two darlings Christmas outfit, photography session Gold Coast QLD

Burleigh Heads QLD Newborn Photography | November Haul

We love a good monthly haul here at Dreamy Moon Photography. Of course we have to share with you what we picked up for the studio this month! Firstly, if you can not tell from the pictures by now, this theme is very Christmas orientated! Tis’ the season to get into all the reds, greens, golds and festive colours! And we just couldn’t help ourselves with some of these cute Christmas outfits!

The Outfits!

The first outfit we picked up is a gorgeous red and white pin striped ruffled little romper by Bencer and Hazelnut. Which can be paired with a white ruffled under shirt. Or something with a saying, for example ‘ Baby’s first Christmas’…. This piece is going to photography so beautifully on your little ones! It can also be used for both Christmas and festivities, but also a cake smash session if you love the colour red or vintage look.

Next we picked up a little white linen ruffle sleeved romper from one of our favourite baby boutiques, two darlings.. This romper is absolutely gorgeous and such a versatile piece being all white. This romper can be used for the festivities, but also family sessions, sibling sessions, milestone sessions and of course cake smashes. It also has and adjustable back which will accomodate for a variety of sizes between 00-1.

To add to the festivities, our recent purchase was a sibling plaid Christmas set. A little baby romper and a matching big brother shirt & shorts set. This set is absolutely adorable and will be perfect for Christmas Sessions!

Christmas Markets

We will be bringing all of these outfits, plus more to our Christmas Mini Sessions and the Hide and Seek Markets in Upper Coomera on the 19th of November and the 10th of December.

Best Newborn Photographer on the Gold Coast | Why Your Photographer Charges Their Prices

award winning newborn photographer Robina qld

Prices VS Quality

There is a very large spectrum of quality and price ranges when it comes to photography and more specifically Newborn photography. Have you ever wondered why that is when every other industry is more consistent with their prices and standards. Well in todays blog I thought it would be a wise idea to break down, Best Newborn Photographer on the Gold Coast | Why Your Photographer Charges Their Prices.

Industry standards

Firstly lets talk about the industry, as this will give you a bit of a foundation into the way photographers choose their pricing models.

As there are no regulations and pre qualifications to get into photography. It is actually a really easy business to just start. You can simply, create a Facebook business page and literally start charging clients. But that does not mean you can run a sustainable and legitimate business! These amateur photographers who are charging very cheap sessions and are just starting out. Most likely have very little to know experience or skills when it comes to handling your newborn. Which can be a major risk to your baby’s safety.

I have actually wrote a whole separate blog on ‘Questions you should be asking your Photographer‘, to help you choose a fully qualified, safety trained newborn photography studio.

Best Newborn Photographer on the Gold Coast | Why Your Photographer Charges Their Prices

Education, safety and legal requirements…

A photographer who has invested into their education, safety training, equipment, sustainable business plan, insurances and other legal requirements. Will be charging a higher amount in comparison to someone who is just running cheap Facebook photo sessions. When you choose an experienced and established photography business, you are paying for a specialist. You are also paying for guaranteed safety and consistency in quality.

When choosing a photographer, look beyond the price… Are you selecting an established and reputable business?
