Korbin’s arrival

Chelsea is a long term friend of ours. When we found out she was expecting we knew we had to get together and organise a newborn photoshoot for her baby boy once he was here. Fast forward a little bit and Korbin made his arrival. Chelsea explained how her birth with Korbin didn’t go as planned. It was a highly intervention and stressful birth resulting in an episiotomy And vacuum delivery. However Chelsea is one of the strongest women we know and has walked away from her birth experience empowered and determined to make the next chapter of her life the best experience ever. Motherhood… 

The planning

Chelsea let us have free reign with organising Korbin’s newborn shoot. We decided to use this opportunity as a creative session and meticulously planned out a studio lifestyle session. Think creams, whites and neutrals. With layered textures, beads and of course pampas grass. A sheer white curtain draped over the set.

The session 

Korbin did so well during his session, especially being a slightly older baby. He slept the entire time and loved being wrapped. He was wrapped in an oatmeal layer and a beige mohair bonnet to match. We photographed him on the bed, basket and in mamas arms. Chelsea did amazing during the session and looked stunning in her navy, floral dress. 

A special moment captured between baby and mama. An everlasting bond…

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!

The planning 

I was discussing with Jordie’s Mama “Jaime”, about the vision she wanted for her baby’s cake smash session. But Jaime was all open to our creative flows. So we got brain storming about different themes and definitely kept coming back to minimalistic / neutral. The focus was all on Jordi! 

The session 

Dressed up in little striped overalls, Jordi had arrived at our studio. He was a little shy at first but did not take long to warm up at all. Jaime informed me that Jordi loves to listed to Doja Cat. So of course we had to put it on! Immediately he started bopping, clapping and dancing. Full of laughter and giggles. Jordi was so happy to get into the cake. Tasting and eating it. We got some extremely cute images of him! 

Time for a splash bath…

After Jordi had finished up with the cake, we had organised a splash bath for him. He loved it and went wild! Splashing the whole studio down. His personality was contagious and made everyone laugh! It did not take long at all the capture him enjoying his bath.

We had the opportunity to film baby Jordi’s cake smash session.

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!

Head on hands…

This pose captures the natural curliness of your newborn baby. It showcases how sleepy they are. Their ability to just be placed in any position and be content as a bug in a rug.

How the pose is safely done:

The head on hands pose consists of gently posing your baby’s head to lay on top of their arms. Crossing over their little legs and allowing them to be on their tummy. Your baby’s head will be facing out to the side towards the camera. So we can capture their precious little face.  This pose can be done on a newborn posing bean. A prop, like the moon pillow above. Or in a basket, bed or drawer prop. 

Creativity in the pose:

There are an abundance of creative ways you can incorporate into this pose. Such as draping a blanket over the baby, dressing them up in a little outfit or showcasing all their squish!

Safety, Safety, Safety!

I say this time and time again… But it is the most important part about newborn photography. The safety of your precious baby is of utter most importance to the Dreamy Moon Photography team. That is why we will continuously update our training and safety skills with some of the best professional trainers around. Such as Tiny Hearts Education, this sister and mama led business is one of Australian leading educator in first aid. They have an updated module of first aid training and neo natal stress identifiers. Dreamy Moon Photography is trained in identifying any unusual signs with your newborn, during our session together.

Newborn Photography Gold Coast QLD | You’ll miss these moments

Why does time go so fast when you have little ones? It’s like we blink our eyes and they have grown double in size! Their little hands and toes, the sweet little features on their face. The rolls and the squish. We go to pop them into an outfit and they can barely squeeze into it. And you wonder, when, how… Did you grow so fast. We hold them and look at them everyday and some days are long. But the years, oh the years are so short. In a matter of time they are big an independent and you wonder how did the days turn into memories. The bitter sweet moments, at the time you wished would hurry up. But now you want them back. You want to hold onto those memories and make them last forever…

Newborn Photography Gold Coast QLD | You’ll miss these moments

…And you can, well kind of. Through the lens of photography, you can freeze time. Treasure those memories and turn them into precious keepsakes. The art of turning your memories into forever. Time goes so fast when you have young children, we are caught up in the hustle and bustle of surviving parenthood. The survival guide and constant feeling of ‘am I doing this right’, that it is easy to get distracted. The most precious thing we can have is professional images of our newborn babies and children. Something to look back on and reminisce. Something to hold, flick through and soak in the memories of when they were so little. Because they truely grow so fast.

Best Newborn Photography on the Gold Coast QLD

This sweet boy was so adored during his session! His gentle personality shined through his studio newborn photography session. Mama and dada requested baby blue hues for their first son. Of course I had to run out and do a spotlight haul on some new fabrics for this session. They had some beautiful cream and blue tones, which I thought would go perfectly with this shoot!

The Planning

Keeping it natural and earthy, we incorporated some woven basket props and rattan into the set. Pairing the props with a natural beaded garland and some beige wool. To add texture, layers and depth to the photos. Baby boy fit perfectly in the mohair bonnet I recently ordered. He looked so precious in this setup.

The Session

When it was time to do bean bag poses, baby boy was so calm. When posed, both wrapped and unwrapped were his favourite. A content little one, he slept the entire time when being posed. His favourite position was the bottoms up pose. The baby blue fabric and wrap suited his complexion so well. We can forget about how precious those little newborn hands and toes are!

The newborn phase honestly goes in a blink of an eye. It is such a pleasure to be able to capture the sweet little first moments, for the parents to cherish forever. It is such a beautiful thing to witness our clients experience the Dreamy Moon Photography experience! We were blessed to be able to film some behind the scene snippets of this little man’s session.
