Celebrating Arcadia’s 6-Month Milestone: A Vintage-Inspired Photoshoot

It’s hard to believe that Arcadia is already six months old! This special milestone calls for a celebration, and what better way to commemorate it than with a charming photoshoot that captures her growing personality? With vintage bonnets, adorable gingham outfits, and lovely rattan basket props, we created a delightful setting that truly reflects her sweet spirit.

Embracing Vintage Charm

For Arcadia’s 6-month milestone, we opted for a vintage-inspired theme that beautifully showcases her innocence and charm. Vintage bonnets added a touch of timeless elegance, framing her lovely face and highlighting her bright, curious eyes. These delicate accessories not only look adorable but also evoke a sense of nostalgia, transporting us back to simpler times.

Adorable Gingham Outfits

To complement the vintage vibe, we dressed Arcadia in delightful gingham outfits. The classic checkered pattern is not only stylish but also incredibly versatile, adding a playful touch to her photos. Whether she was in a sweet little dress or a charming romper, the gingham perfectly matched her bubbly personality, creating a wonderful contrast against the soft, natural backgrounds we chose.

The Perfect Props: Rattan Baskets

Incorporating rattan baskets into the shoot added an organic and whimsical feel to the overall aesthetic. These lovely props provided a cozy nook for Arcadia to sit and explore, making for some truly enchanting images. We styled her in the basket with soft blankets and sweet toys, capturing candid moments of curiosity and joy as she interacted with her surroundings.

Capturing Milestone Moments

As we photographed Arcadia, it was heartwarming to witness her personality shine through. At six months, she’s full of smiles, giggles, and newfound mobility, making every moment a delight to capture. From her curious expressions to her playful antics, each click of the camera froze a beautiful memory in time, celebrating not just her growth but also the joy she brings to her family.

A Treasure for the Future

These milestone photos are more than just images; they are treasured keepsakes that encapsulate a precious moment in Arcadia’s life. As she continues to grow, these photographs will serve as a reminder of her early days—full of charm, innocence, and vintage elegance.

A Sweet Celebration

Arcadia’s 6-month milestone photoshoot was a joyous occasion filled with laughter, love, and delightful vintage charm. We are so grateful to have had the opportunity to capture these special moments and create lasting memories for her family.

Happy 6 months, sweet Arcadia! May your journey ahead be filled with adventure, love, and endless joy!

Arundel qld newborn photography | Arnhem’s 11 month milestone

How is Arnhem-Sol 11 months old!

I swear I say this every month but the first year truely flies. A mixture between blissful chaos, sleepless nights and a whole lot of snuggles and infinite love!

I am sure if you’re still in the phase of your babies first year you can totally relate!

So here we are at 11 months old and it is time to do another milestone photoshoot. I had just finished up a newborn photoshoot that day and was in the middle of packing up the studio whilst Arnhem napped. I just had this urge to pick her up and pose her like a newborn again.

And she totally let me! Well with a bit of persistence of course! I won’t lie, it probably took me an hour to get her into bottoms up pose without waking her up. Everything I would pose her little hand or foot she would starfish out! But we got there in the end and it was totally worth the patience.

I love that I have a photo to compare to from her newborn shoot to her 11 month shoot.

When she was awake and her brother was home, I decided to capture few pictures of the both of them. Arnhem was dressed in her romper from tiny traders and we had used the new bamboo bed prop. They were so cute posing together.

At 11 months old, they truely have so much personality to capture!

Karynne’s Newborn Session | Currumbin qld baby photographer

The Sweetest session:

Karynne’s baby boy was the sleepiest little munchkin ever!

Karynne, her partner Steven and mother arrived in our studio to get some newborn family photographs done with their latest addition!

Traveling all the way from Lismore to work with Dreamy Moon Photography!

The session went amazing and bubba slept the entire way through. We started off by giving him a big feed as he had been in the car for over an hour and a half. After he had a full tummy we started the session. Posing him in several different props, such as the bamboo bed, round and rectangular basket.

Dreamy Family Photos:

The session was followed by family photos of momma and dad, then some solo parent images. Of course we had to get nanny in the images with her first grandson! We capture a few family images of the four of them and a solo shot with nanny and bubba boy.

Because he was doing so amazing we took him over to the posing bed and capture a pose in ‘bottoms up’ and some relaxed poses.

We always try to accomodate for our clients who travel far to come and do a session with us. So we had organised to do a viewing session in the same day. Whist I was lightly editing them image and making sure they were perfect, Karynne and her family spent some time looking over our studio samples.

There were so many sweet images to choose from Karynne’s and Steve fell in love with our luxury album and selected an heirloom to treasure for life!

Miami QLD Newborn Photographer | Baby Grace

Miami QLD Newborn Photographer | Baby Grace

Paige messaged me in regard to scheduling a newborn photography session for her first baby girl, Grace. Grace was born with an Omphalocele. This can occur when a baby’s abdominal organs are pushed through their umbilical cord. A rare conditions that can be both minor or serious. Grace thankfully was only affected minimally and did not require surgery. Her obstetric medical team handled the issue with ease.

Firstly Dreamy Moon Photography is specifically trained to handle issues that arise with newborns at birth. Common injuries such as Omphalocele, brachial plexus palsy, caput saccidaneum, bone fractures, perinatal asphyxia etc…

Secondly, we will always accomodate our session around your baby if they have experienced a birth injury.

The session

During our session had to accommodate for baby Grace’s abdominal area as it had dressing on it from her procedure and was tender and sore. We avoided any poses on her tummy and stuck with wrapped poses in the props and side lying poses on the posing bed.

Finally focusing on the family component, we captured some amazing breastfeeding imaged of Paige and baby Grace. Solo parent images and family images of the three of them!

We can not wait to see what images Paige and her hubby select from baby Grace’s Newborn and Family Session… Stay tuned!

Arrive at your session 30 minutes early. Allowing you time to find a car spot. Fix up any last minute outfit dilemmas. Meet your photographer. And go into your shoot stress free!

Gold Coast QLD Baby Photographer | Themed Photo Sessions

Who doesn’t love a themed photo session. Whether it’s be valentines days, Easter , st Patrick’s day, Halloween or Christmas. Themed photo shoots are the perfect way to sneak a milestone session into the year.

Generally run a mini session, themed photos allow you to get a taste of the Dream Moon Photography experience.

If you have never experienced a themed session or a mini session. They generally are shorter in comparison to full private session. Most themed sessions are ran with back to back bookings and the same set up. They are generally quicker and most of the time offered as a discount.

Normally you choose a set collection package instead of the individual tailored collections.

A fun way to get a taste of Dreamy Moon Photography. They are great if you have young kids that love structure. But sometimes a longer private session might be better if you have kiddos that are shy or take a little bit longer to warm up!

Mermaid qld newborn photography | Central Cyanosis

Choosing a Newborn Photographer

When it comes time to choosing a photographer to handle your newborn baby it is so important to consider the safety and qualifications that the photographer holds. It is so much more than just a “budget”.

Your baby’s safety should be the number one priority. When you choose to work with a professionally trained newborn photographer, the risk of injury is greatly decreased.

Have you ever heard of Central Cyanosis?

It is blue discolouration in the lips and chest area and visible mucous membranes occurs when there is an inadequate amount of oxygenation. This can be increased if baby is posed in an incorrect position or if there is an underlying condition.

If your photographer is not trained correctly to identify things such as central cyanosis, there is a higher risk of serious conditions for your newborn. At Dreamy Moon Photography we take your baby’s safety extremely seriously. We have done adequate training to:

1. Correctly pose your baby in the safest way possible and

2. Identify underlying birth issues such as central Cyanosis. Which then we can best recommend you to follow it up with your chosen health practitioner.

When you hire a professional photographer you can have reassurance knowing your baby is in the safest hands possible. That their safety comes before a perfect image. But don’t worry, we have confidence that we can achieve both!

If you’re pregnant or know someone expecting, please share this blog with them and the importance of choosing a professional photographer who is trained to identify birth injuries and issues such as central cyanosis.
