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….

Gold Coast QLD Baby Photographer | Choosing props for your photo session

Isn’t it so exciting when you book a photoshoot! There is so much creative freedom you get when you book in with Dreamy Moon Photography. From a huge variety of outfits to select from our client closet. To backdrops, accessories and of course props.

You get to completely tailor your photoshoot experience with the guidance and expertise of our team. So what to consider when you do get the chance to choose your props. Of course we will guide you along the process but here is a list of tips to help you also decide.

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!

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

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.

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.

That is because of a few reasons;

The machines are designed for fast pace and not quality.
The ink and paper that is used is cheap and convenient
Your images a probably not formatted correctly to be printed directly from your phone. Quality is lost
Your phone is not calibrated with the printer meaning the colours have a high chance of being off.
They are not really designed to print large images.

Cake Smash Photographer Gold Coast QLD | Why your Photographer won’t give you raws

Disclaimer: Every baby, child and person is beautiful before & after editing. Editing is used as a tool for artistic enhancement.

Let’s talk about raw files!

I know this is something that is super controversial in both the photographer and client world. But I wanted to use today’s blog to educate you on the reasons why most photographers will not actually give you the raw files.

Firstly let’s talk about what a raw file actually is. So a raw file isn’t just the unedited version of the picture but is actually a huge file of unprocessed and processed data. It’s uncompressed data that is used in an external program such as lightroom or photoshop. Which is used to process an image to its fullest potential.

With that in mind you need a program to even open a raw file. Sending and receiving raw files requires a huge amount of space which most people don’t have unless they work in photography or digital media etc.

Most photographers won’t send through raw images for both of the reasons above however there are a few more reasons why they won’t either. A raw files is not a true representation of the photographers work. Photography is an art and a raw file is an unfinished canvas. It’s the bare minimum.

It’s like being sold an unfinished product.

As a fellow photographer. We want your experience with photography to be a completed process. For you to receive quality artwork at the end. For your experience to be ingrained in the final products.

So please don’t get offended when your photographer won’t give you the raw image as you’re hiring them to create art for you and an enjoyable experience.

Hopefully this blog gives you a little bit of insight as why most togs avoid giving out raw images.

Varsity Lakes QLD Newborn Photography | Tips for Gorgeous Outdoor Photos

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.

Gold Coast QLD Baby Photographer | Christmas Mini Sessions were a Jolly!

Gold Coast QLD Baby Photographer | Christmas Mini Sessions were a Jolly!

This previous weekend, some of our Christmas Mini families came into the studio to view and select their favourite images. Turning them into Albums, Prints, Folio Boxes and so much more… To create timeless memories for years to come.

We all had so much fun creating everlasting memories of Christmas 2022. The children were so excited once they saw the warm lights, aspen Christmas trees and all the festive decorations!

Each family came in for their mini session, where we spent 10-15 minutes capturing all the joys and laughter. Ages ranged from 3 months old to 8 years old and of course some of the parents jumped ion for photos too. We had bubbles and Christmas music playing and at the end the kiddos received a special Dreamy Moon Photography gift bag. Their faces lit up when the saw the little pressie.
