Baby Esther’s Session | Varsity Lakes QLD Newborn Photography

Baby Esther’s Session | Varsity Lakes QLD Newborn Photography

Organic Beauty in Every Detail:

From the first booking inquiry, we knew that Esther’s session would be one for the books. Embracing the concept of organic beauty. We curated an array of bamboo props and swaddles, each carefully selected to accentuate the natural charm of this little dreamer. The tactile quality of bamboo not only provided a gentle touch for Esther. But also added a timeless and earthy aesthetic to the images.

Neutral Tones and Rainbows of Love:

The palette for Esther’s session was a celebration of simplicity and warmth. We embraced neutral color tones, allowing the purity of the moment to shine through. Additionally, the subtle inclusion of brown & beige rainbows added a touch of whimsy. Symbolising the spectrum of emotions that accompany the journey of parenthood.

Baby Esther: A Dreamy Sleepy Angel:

Esther, with her delicate features and serene expressions, proved to be the epitome of a dreamy sleepy baby. From the gentle cradle of her parents’ arms to the cozy cocoon of swaddles, she embraced the session with a tranquility that allowed us to capture the pure magic of those early days.

Justin and Anna: Capturing Love in Every Frame:

As we focused our lens on Justin and Anna, it became evident that their love was the heartbeat of Esther’s session. Their connection and the tender moments they shared with their newborn daughter were nothing short of captivating. Every gaze, every smile, and every embrace spoke volumes about the beautiful journey they were embarking on as parents.

A Symphony of Love and New Beginnings:

In every photograph, we witnessed a symphony of love and new beginnings. The images captured during Esther’s newborn session are not just photographs; they are a visual poem, a testament to the profound joy that parenthood brings.

Final Thoughts:

Baby Esther’s newborn session was a testament to the beauty that unfolds when simplicity meets love. From the choice of organic bamboo props to the neutral tones and brown & beige rainbows. Every detail contributed to creating a visual masterpiece. Justin and Anna, with their radiant love, added a layer of depth that made each frame resonate with warmth and tenderness. As we conclude Esther’s session, we reflect on the privilege of capturing these precious moments and the joy that comes with witnessing the beginning of a beautiful journey.

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!

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….
