Gold Coast QLD Newborn Photography | Why do a Cake Smash?

You’ve done it!

You’ve survived the first year of your baby’s life! The long nights, the cuddles the laughter and the tears. The mere heart attack that little baby can give you but ooh when you stare at them sleeping you hear skips a beat with so much love. It’s time to celebrate. Celebrate your parenting achievements, but also the celebration of your little baby turning one!

There is nothing better than to capture those first moments on camera

Their first birthday cake, exploring tasting and smashing. A cake smash is such a fantastic way to show case how big your bubba is but also how little they really are in comparison to the big world. Your baby will have the opportunity to explore and have a full sensory experience with their very first birthday cake.

We will capture some milestone moments in their little outfit. Showcasing their little personality. Afterwards a beautifully decorated cake will be placed in front of them. So they can go ham! Some baby’s love smashing into it whilst other simply dip their little finger in and explore the different textures.

After your little one has had the best time exploring their cake, we will swap out the cake for a bubbly splash bath! This is another opportunity to get some of the cutest little photos of your one year old baby! They can make a splashy mess and blow bubbles everywhere.

Newborn Photography Gold Coast QLD | Korbin’s Newborn Session

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

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.

South Gold Coast Newborn Photographer | Head on hands pose

28/05/2022 No Comments

Head on hands…

This pose captures the natural curliness of your newborn baby. It showcases how sleepy they are. Their ability to just be placed in any position and be content as a bug in a rug.

How the pose is safely done:

The head on hands pose consists of gently posing your baby’s head to lay on top of their arms. Crossing over their little legs and allowing them to be on their tummy. Your baby’s head will be facing out to the side towards the camera. So we can capture their precious little face. This pose can be done on a newborn posing bean. A prop, like the moon pillow above. Or in a basket, bed or drawer prop.

Creativity in the pose:

There are an abundance of creative ways you can incorporate into this pose. Such as draping a blanket over the baby, dressing them up in a little outfit or showcasing all their squish!

Safety, Safety, Safety!

I say this time and time again… But it is the most important part about newborn photography. The safety of your precious baby is of utter most importance to the Dreamy Moon Photography team. That is why we will continuously update our training and safety skills with some of the best professional trainers around. Such as Tiny Hearts Education, this sister and mama led business is one of Australian leading educator in first aid. They have an updated module of first aid training and neo natal stress identifiers. Dreamy Moon Photography is trained in identifying any unusual signs with your newborn, during our session together.

Gold Coast QLD Newborn Photography | Baby in a Basket

The basket…

Your baby is all snuggled up in a soft wrap. They look so little! Your baby is than placed in a basket prop and photographed. Oh so cute! They look like a little bean. The focus lies on their tiny little facial features. Their nose and sweet baby ears… Tiny sleepy eyes lay shut, as they comfortably snooze away. The basket pose is terrific at showcasing your baby. It can be photographed in many different ways and styled. There are the options to use both round baskets and rectangular baskets. They can be layered with fabrics, beads or different textures. Or can be a complete minimal look. We love using different coloured wraps to change up a look. Matching them with a baby bonnet or baby flower crown. The creative decor is endless and can be personalised to your taste.

Safety

Safety is our number one priority and we are always ensuring that we are following safe protocols when it comes to your precious newborn. We specifically design our prop set up with safety in mind. That means either using a weighted object to secure the basket. Or simply having a hands on spotter at all times.
