A blog by Milton Keynes Photographer Becki Williams full of photo shoot examples and information for expectant parents and families with young babies in Milton Keynes.
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.
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.
Meet little Lachlan, the most gorgeous little boy with a genuinely lovely family.
When I first heard that the family wanted an Irish, Rugby, Autumn themed newborn baby photoshoot I've got to say, I wasn't quite sure how I was going to get it all to work together.
Of course the only real answer was to go shopping!
A few weeks ago Joshua and his family came to my house in Hemel Hempstead for their newborn photography session.
This little guy was a completely dream to work with and I got some beautiful images.
As usual, I started with wrapped images to get him into that super sleepy mood.
I can get three really lovely shots from the pose below - his whole body, his feet and a close up of his face.
I think we should take a second to appreciate his amazing hair. I LOVE it!
After we'd finished on the plainer blankets, it was time to get out the fluff!
He snuggled into the posing bowl perfectly and even flashed a cheeky smily :)
His mum decided to leave Joshua's big brother at home with his dad for first part of the session and then bring him round when we were ready for him. This meant he was ready and raring to go when it came time for sibling photos.
Joshua had started to wake up a little at this point so I wrapped him up snug and made sure he was ready for some big brother love.
I LOVE this family photo. So much in fact that I have used it in a sample product for my Reveal Sessions and gifted them a HUGE print of it.
As much as it may look like they're sitting there nicely together, much running and playing was required to get that bottom in mums lap!
It was a million percent worth it for the result :)
Another day, another opportunity to take some beautiful newborn baby pictures!
This little girl was a fighter to start off with, determined to stay awake! I got some gorgeous shot of her eyes open and then wrapped her up nice and snuggled in the 'potato sack' wrap (my sleep inducing weapon of choice when it comes to awake newborns!).
Soon she had drifted off to sleep and the super cute posing could begin!
Tummy pose is my absolute favourite! Not only do all babies look super comfy and peaceful in this pose, it's also the best pose for hats and headbands.
This newborn hat came in a set of 2 for twins but I love using them separately for both boys and girls. If you don't like the heart I just turn it out and suddenly it's a plain hat :p
From her tummy I moved her more onto her side and added a little dainty headband. I LOVE this headband but it's started to fall apart since (probably because I use it so much!) so I'm definitely going to be replacing it.
Next it was time for fluff. She curled up so effortlessly and was definitely super comfy.
When mum mentioned she wanted a photo of their little one and their hands, my head went straight to this classic shot. It was the first time I had tried it and I was really excited. We put dad's hand on the left and mum's on the right and I think it came out really well.
**May 2016 Update**
I recently ordered new product samples and ordered the above photo in a Fine Art Float Frame. Look how gorgeous it looks in this black frame - definitely a favourite picture of mine!
