Pregnancy flies by in a rush of appointments, shopping for essentials and making sure you finish everything you need to at work before maternity leave starts.
Having a baby is a huge life milestone, and you want to capture every precious moment of it. I know from talking to parents in my newborn photography studio that the first few days after your baby arrives pass by in a beautiful blurry baby bubble.

Read MoreAutumn themed baby names

Autumn is such a beautiful time of year to be expecting a baby!
As a photographer I love the Autumn. The light is beautiful and the colours of nature turns the blandest landscape into a work of art. It’s no wonder that Autumn inspires so many artists, poets and creatives is it?

As we move into Autumn, we all start thinking about all of the fun, family activities going on in Milton Keynes over the next few months.

Not every child will love reading and that’s absolutely fine. We all have our own ways of learning or escaping to a new world and whether that’s through books, art, play or however they naturally express themselves, embrace it and let their imaginations run wild.
If your child does love books as much as I did as a kid, enjoy every pre-bedtime cuddle with a good book and go on as many exciting adventures with them as they’ll let you. They will look back and treasure the memories just like I do.
