Newborn Photography Gold Coast QLD | Korbin’s Newborn Session

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

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!

Gold Coast QLD Baby Photographer | Jordi’s Cake Smash

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.

Behind the scenes

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!

Tweed NSW Newborn Photography | Everly’s Cake Smash

Tweed NSW Newborn Photography | Everly’s Cake Smash

The Planning…

When Everly’s mama got into contact with me and discussed that she wanted to do a shoot for Everly’s first birthday, I thought boho vintage vibes immediately. Little gingham outfits, bonnets and dried flowers. Of course in a neutral colour pallet. Think peaches and creams… We got to planning straight away. I sent Through Renee (Everly’s mama) a collage of the inspiration that I pulled together. I love doing this for clients. As it can give a visual representation of the creative flows for the session.

The session

Everly did amazing during her cake smash session. She was so happy and bubbly. Lots of laughter echoed throughout the photography studio. She had the biggest blue eyes and most gorgeous little smile. Firstly we started with milestone portraits. She was dancing, posing and clapping her little hands. Everly was so interactive and confident in front of the camera. She is a real natural. Followed by the cake smash Itself. The cake was a white naked cake, dairy free as Everly has a dairy intolerance. We love being an all inclusive studio at Dreamy Moon Photography. We want to ensure every baby has an opportunity to celebrate with a cake smash! After the cake smash itself, Everly wrapped up her session with a splash bath.

Stress free for the parents!

Parents always tell me how much they love coming to Dreamy Moon Photography as it is truely a stress free experience. We provide the planning, decor, outfits, backdrops and splash bath. We also clean up all the mess so you can avoid any stress and enjoy the rest of your day after the session.

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…

…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.

South Gold Coast QLD Newborn Photographer | Teodora’s Cake Smash

South Gold Coast QLD Newborn Photographer | Teodora’s Cake Smash

Teodora was the sweetest little girl during her Cake Smash Session. Her dainty little toes and big blue eyes. During this session I wanted to make the main focus on Teodora and keep the decorations to a minimal. By only incorporating a few light and airy pieces such as the moon prop and clear balloons.

The Planning

Liz and I got in contact earlier during the month and discussed all the details of the session. I sent through a few of my inspirations and a clothing guide. We stock a ton of outfits from newborn to toddler in our studio. But it’s always great to be on the same page with our clients. I had picked out a white lace romper and a peach coloured bonnet for Teodora to wear durning her session. The outfit gave off a slight vintage feel. During our planning phase Liz and I spoke about what type of art work she would like from her session. We offer a large variety of art pieces, from wall art to albums. Liz was very keen on creating a family heirloom album.

The Session

Teodora rocked her session, she was so good in front of the camera. When we played her favourite song from Bluey, she became so excited! She danced, rolled around a laughed so much during her session. Teodora has a gymnastic background and kept pointing her little toes and even once did the splits! Teodora’s big blue eyes twinkled so much, a gorgeous little girl with the sweetest personality. Once we were all finished with her portraits and cake smash we brought out the bubble bath tub. Teodora wasn’t the biggest fan, but we did manage to capture a few smiles.

Gold Coast QLD Newborn Photography | Sonny’s Cake Smash

Gold Coast QLD Newborn Photography | Sonny’s Cake Smash

There is nothing more enjoyable than watching a one year old smash a cake! It was Sonny’s birthday, so we had to organise a cake smash for him. The giggles and laughter that came from Sonny was contagious. His sweet smile and explorative nature of the cake allowed us to capture the most precious images.

The Planning

When Chanel (Sonny’s mama) got in contact with me, we immediately started the planning process for Sonny’s shoot. I knew that a creamy, neutral boho inspired shoot would be perfect for the little man. I sent Chanel through our clothing inspiration guide to give a visual idea of what look we were going for. We stock quite a few different outfits for our little ones in the studio, from newborn to toddler. It’s always so amazing when clients allow the photographer to take creative control. Now time for planning the cake! Naked cakes are always a favourite of mine, I really feel that they meet those rustic, boho vibes. We organised for the cake to be topped with donuts, dried flowers and edible gold leaf. Next adding in some pampas grass and a beaded garland to complete the set up.

The Session

Sonny did so well during his session! He was so playful and giggly. We started the session off with portraits in the little basket. Sonny loved the music we had playing in the background and kept clapping to it. He was so excited so we decided to add the cake in for him to play with. He loved the cake and kept wanting his mama and dada to hand feed it to him. Finally we ended the cakesmash session with a splash bath. Babies either love or hate the splash bath. Sonny had so much fun, in fact I think it was his favourite part about the entire session. He was sticking his tongue out, laughing and splashing.
