Newborn Photography | Hemel Hempstead | Charlie & Alice

January 19, 2018/ Becki Williams Photography/ Rebecca Williams

When Charlie & Alice's mum got in touch asking for Newborn Photography for twins I was very excited!
This is my 6th twin photo shoot and it's never any less special!

The twins arrived at 26 weeks and spent around 2 months in hospital before being allowed home. I got to meet them at at around 3 months old, at which point they still hadn't reached their due date!

Charlie was small and Alice even smaller but they were happy and healthy and ready to be photographed.

Newborn Photography | Hemel Hempstead | Kellen

January 09, 2018/ Becki Williams Photography/ Rebecca Williams

I was looking through old primary school books recently and found one saying
'Mathew Miller is my boyfriend'

I was about 7 at the time, while he was 11 and best friends with my brother.
Alas it wasn't meant to be and he is now happily engaged and has just welcomed his second son, Kellen, into the world.

Newborn Photo Shoot | Izzy - 2 1/2 days old

January 03, 2018/ Becki Williams Photography/ Rebecca Williams

Toby & Jake live with their mum and dad a few doors down from our house. They love saying hello to Jess the dog, showing me whatever new toy they have or just telling me something random about their day.

For the majority of 2017, the big news was that they were about to become big brothers. And they were excited!

Sebastian's Newborn Photo Shoot | Watford

December 01, 2017/ Becki Williams Photography/ Rebecca Williams

Sebastian's mum got in touch when he was 6 days old for a last minute Newborn Photo Shoot. I booked him in as quickly as I could and ended up taking his photos when he was just 14 days old.

The ideal time for a newborn to be photographed is between 5 & 10 days but I do offer posed photo shoots to babies up to three weeks. I might not get as many sleepy posed photos at 3 weeks but it all depends on the baby - some still sleep like a dream!

Noah's Newborn Photo Shoot | St Albans

November 06, 2017/ Becki Williams Photography/ Rebecca Williams

When Noah and his family arrived, we started with some simple parent photos.
You do not have to hold a naked baby if you're not interested in playing 'pee roulette'. Instead we can use a nice neutral blanket (or colourful, it's your choice!) and wrap your little one up nice and snug.

Happy Birthday to Us!

November 01, 2017/ Becki Williams Photography/ Rebecca Williams

Thank you SO MUCH to all the lovely families that have put their faith in me to capture images of their bumps, newborns and babies over the last year. I've met some amazing people, some of which have become good friends and I can't wait to continue photographing your families into the future.

Rhea's Sleepy Newborn Photo Shoot | Hemel Hempstead

October 05, 2017/ Becki Willams Photography/ Rebecca Williams

Rhea's family first got in touch when she was 2 weeks old.

As newborn shoots usually take place in a babies first 5 - 10 days, I booked them in nice and quickly so we could capture all those tiny details before she grew too much.
There was no need to worry about her being more alert though - she was the perfect sleepy baby for the majority of her photo shoot!

I have people travel to me from all over Herts, Beds & Bucks with their newborns, but when Rhea's dad got in touch, I realised they only lived a few streets away - nice and easy!

Newborn Photography: Studio vs. In Your Home

September 28, 2017/ Becki Williams Photography/ Rebecca Williams

When you first find out you're pregnant it feels like you have all the time in the world. You're careful not to start buying things too early (you know, apart from that little outfit that you just couldn't leave behind) and you wait longingly for each scan to see that little face one more time and the reassurance that everything is a-ok.

A Smiley 2 Month Old Photo Shoot | Hemel Hempstead | Emily

September 27, 2017/ Becki Williams Photography/ Rebecca Williams

Emily is one of the smiliest 2 month olds I have ever photographed!

All I had to do was speak to her and she'd break out into the most gorgeous smile. Her face was full of expression the entire photo shoot.

Ava's Newborn Photo Shoot | Hemel Hempstead

September 22, 2017/ Becki Williams Photography/ Rebecca Williams

Little Ava came to me for her newborn photo shoot from Leighton Buzzard when she was 10 days old.

She had the most gorgeous eyes, which we got to see a lot because she outright refused to sleep!

Newborn Photography - Keeping your babies safe

September 18, 2017/ Becki Williams Photography/ Rebecca Williams

Your newborn baby is precious and their safety comes second to none at your photo shoot.

Newborn Baby Photographer | Hemel Hempstead | Oliver

September 14, 2017/ Becki Williams Photography/ Rebecca Williams

Some babies arrive smoothly and others with a bump. Some arrive late, and some, like Oliver, arrive very early.

The Baby & Newborn Photography Association - Who they are and why I joined

September 07, 2017/ Becki Williams Photography/ Rebecca Williams

As a newborn and baby photographer, I have to take the safety of my little clients very seriously. It might surprise you to know that the newborn photography industry is completely unregulated. Photographers like me, who take safety seriously, have to take it upon ourselves to be trained and educated on how to ensure the beautiful images we create, are done safely.

A Girly Newborn Photo Shoot | Hemel Hempstead | Madison

August 29, 2017/ Rebecca Williams

When Madison arrived for her Newborn Photo Shoot the first thing I noticed was her amazing hair!

With her mum being a hair dresser, it made those luscious locks even more perfect.

While we were getting to ready to start with family photos, we talked about the risks of getting pee'd and poo'd on when handling a naked baby. Madison's mum and I were wearing matching white tops (thank you Asda) which are lovely tops for photos but are a little risky around a tiny naked bum.

Prints, Albums & Canvases - Gorgeous products i've recently delivered

June 11, 2017/ Rebecca Williams

There are many reasons I love being a newborn photographer. Yes there is the fact I get to work with teeny tiny humans on a weekly basis, but I also get to deliver gorgeous products for families to remember those first teeny tiny days forever.

Here are some of my latest orders all carefully packaged and hand delivered to their new homes.

Newborn Pictures | Hemel Hempstead | From Uni Friend to New Dad

May 11, 2017/ Rebecca Williams

This little guy is the perfect example of just how fast life can go some times.
One minute you're 22, at Uni and your housemate is throwing Maoam at you down the corridor. Next thing you know, you're in your 30s and you're photographing their newborn son.

Newborn Photo Shoot | Hemel Hempstead | Lylah

April 20, 2017/ Becki Williams Photography/ Rebecca Williams

Everyone meet Lylah. This gorgeous little thing was towards the older end of the timescale that I offer newborn photo shoots so she was on the wriggly side!
My main aim for her session was to get some beautiful images with her mum as well as some images in props.

Twins Newborn Photo Shoot | Hemel Hempstead

April 06, 2017/ Rebecca Williams

I love photographing twins. Some photographers think of it as extra work but I love having a spare baby. One twin crying? That's ok, just pass me the other until we're good to go again.
I also find that when they are together they settle each other so well. They're so used to being together in the womb that they love being close.

That was exactly the case with Jacob and Imogen when I met them and their mum and dad a few weeks ago.

High Wycombe Photographer | The Montgomery Family

March 15, 2017/ Rebecca Williams

I first met the Montgomery family before they even became the Montgomery family back in September 2015.
There was talk of a wedding but the main focus at that time was the little bump that was soon to arrive.

The Maternity Session

The majority of their session took place at their house in High Wycombe (which is one of the most hilly places i've ever been!)
