Mermaid QLD Newborn Photography | Mini Session Vs Custom Photography

Let’s discuss all about the differences a mini photography session will get you versus a custom session, tailored towards you and your needs!

Hello! Welcome, I am Tiana, founder of Dreamy Moon Photography… I specialise in creating custom, heirloom art pieces for your family to cherish for years to come. But with all that aside let’s get straight into the blog!

Okay, Okay… Starting off with the Minis! Mini Sessions are great, they are a lot of fun. Fairly fast paced and a great taster into the Dreamy Moon Experience. This type of sessions is perfect for you if you are okay with a specific theme, want something short and fast, are flexible with dates and times. These session are generally discounted or offered in a cheaper bundle and are only offered 1-2 times a year. For example Christmas Mini Sessions.

Now that we have talked about the mini sessions, let’s talk about why a customer session might be a better fit for your families needs. Custom sessions, well they are completely tailored to you, “the name says it all.” There is so much more flexibility when it comes to a custom session. You have more of a say on location/ studio, date & time (depending on availability), theme, props, outfits and so much more! Dreamy Moon Photography will work along side you to create a unique experience. These sessions generally cost more and offer the full luxury experience.

So, there you have it! Mini Session Vs Custom Photography, which one would you choose?

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….

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

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.

Prices VS Quality

There is a very large spectrum of quality and price ranges when it comes to photography and more specifically Newborn photography. Have you ever wondered why that is when every other industry is more consistent with their prices and standards. Well in todays blog I thought it would be a wise idea to break down, Best Newborn Photographer on the Gold Coast | Why Your Photographer Charges Their Prices.

Industry standards

Firstly lets talk about the industry, as this will give you a bit of a foundation into the way photographers choose their pricing models.

As there are no regulations and pre qualifications to get into photography. It is actually a really easy business to just start. You can simply, create a Facebook business page and literally start charging clients. But that does not mean you can run a sustainable and legitimate business! These amateur photographers who are charging very cheap sessions and are just starting out. Most likely have very little to know experience or skills when it comes to handling your newborn. Which can be a major risk to your baby’s safety.

I have actually wrote a whole separate blog on ‘Questions you should be asking your Photographer‘, to help you choose a fully qualified, safety trained newborn photography studio.

Best Newborn Photographer on the Gold Coast | Why Your Photographer Charges Their Prices

Education, safety and legal requirements…

A photographer who has invested into their education, safety training, equipment, sustainable business plan, insurances and other legal requirements. Will be charging a higher amount in comparison to someone who is just running cheap Facebook photo sessions. When you choose an experienced and established photography business, you are paying for a specialist. You are also paying for guaranteed safety and consistency in quality.

When choosing a photographer, look beyond the price… Are you selecting an established and reputable business?

Tweed NSW Cake Smash Photographer | Why Your Photos Need To Be Printed By a Pro

Gold Coast baby photographer

They come out grainy and discoloured…

Have you ever gone to Kmart or Big W to print off some pictures from your iPhone and they come out totally poor quality, grainy and the colours are all muddy? I have out of convenience and I regret it every time! Tweed NSW Cake Smash Photographer | Why Your Photos Need To Be Printed By a Pro

That is because of a few reasons;

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

Arnhem-Sol’s milestone session

Recently we captured Arnhem-Sol’s milestone pictures. She was so enthusiastic and bubbly during the shoot. So many giggles and activity going on. We did two outfit changes. Firstly she wore a little gingham romper that showed all her rolls off! The second outfit was a two darlings onesie in the colour mint. I really feel like green is her colour and always try to dress her in that.

We managed to capture some really cute pictures for her 6 month old milestone session. If you would love to schedule your baby’s 6 month old photos in, Click Here
