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.
A few years ago I travelled to meet the most lovely family and their newborn baby Oliver at their house in Harpenden.
In the blink of an eye, Oliver is now 3 and this time I got the pleasure of photographing his new little sister, Eva.
Read MoreHis mum wanted a combination of both posed and lifestyle photos and to include Arthur’s big brother Harry in some of the images.
Read MoreA few weeks ago, little Dev came to me in Hemel Hempstead from Luton for his newborn photo shoot with his mum, dad and big brother.
He had arrived 4 weeks early, and was so smiley. He also made lots of cute noises, specially after he sneezed and had the most amazing hair!
He was teeny tiny but when he stretched out, my goodness was he long!
When Adhiya’s family booked her Newborn Photo Shoot they said that they would like awake photos that captured her personality.
Of course once they said that I was expecting the worlds sleepiest baby to turn up that I couldn’t keep awake, but she was in fact the perfect awake model that her mum and dad had been hoping for.
Read MoreI first met Kitty’s family back in 2015 when I did a Newborn Photo Shoot for her big sister Grace in St. Albans.
I’m getting so many siblings come through my door right now and I am always so excited to receive their emails letting me know they’re expecting baby number two or three.
When Kitty’s mum got in touch she was already a few days old so I booked her in nice and quick so we didn’t miss those first sleepy 5 - 10 days.

If you have any questions about how a Twin Newborn Shoot is different to a photo shoot with one baby, find your answers here.
Read MoreA few weeks ago I was contacted by Carys’s mum and dad and asked to do a lifestyle newborn shoot at their house in St. Albans.
Lifestyle photo shoots are a lovely, natural and unposed alternative to studio newborn photography where the emphasis is on taking relaxed photos of the entire family in your own home.
The photos show a perfect little snapshot of this time in your life.
Newborn Elise came to my house in Hemel Hempstead for her Photo Shoot a few weeks ago and was the perfect little model.
She loved to be wrapped but wasn’t a fan of being on her tummy so I kept her where she was happiest, on her back and her side. Not all newborns like all positions and I never force them into a position that they aren’t happy with (I can tell by the wriggling!)
Read MoreI first met Enzo in January when he came to me in Hemel Hempstead for his Newborn Photo Shoot.
As always, time flew by and before we knew it he was booked in for another photo shoot at 6 months.
Read MoreRiley came to me in Hemel Hempstead for his Newborn Photo Shoot back in June.
I had put word out on Facebook that I was looking for newborns between 5 & 10 days old to come in for a free photo shoot so I could perfect a few poses and try out some new set ups.
Read MoreThese adorable sisters have been coming to me for Photo Shoots ever since Skye was a baby and her big sister Sophia was quiet and shy.
Fast forward a couple of years and you have yourself two little, talkative cheeky monkeys. I say that, but they are also two of the politest children I've ever photographed and I look forward to every single shoot with them.
Read MoreWith his big sisters out for the day, it was just me, him and his mummy and daddy, ready to photograph him in all his newness.
Read MoreI have check lists of things to take places, routes (and back up routes) of where I am going and will leave with enough time to spare that it's highly likely that I will be early.
I'd much rather sit in my car and wait for an appointment than worry about being late (or even worse, actually be late)
The aim of this blog is to answer any question you may ever have about every stage of your newborn shoot - from booking to purchasing your images.
Read MoreAnd so Bluebell Photo Shoots are over for another year!
We got off to a rocky start this year when the late snow meant that Spring was delayed by about 2 weeks. Mix in some rainy weekends and everything was a bit up in the air.
Read MoreLogan's mum first got in touch about a month before her due date to book in her Newborn Photo Shoot. We discussed everything she liked and didn't like and booked her in for around a week after she was due.
Logan, it seems, had other plans though as he arrived almost 4 weeks early! He had to stay at Luton and Dunstable Hospital for around a month so we kept pushing his shoot date back until he was given the all clear and was able to go home.
Read MoreHow is it time for another Photo Project blog post? These months are flying by so fast that I feel I can hardly keep up with work plans, let alone find time to take photos for fun.
Read MoreLittle Lottie came for her Newborn Shoot a few weeks ago in response to a Model Call a put out on my Facebook Page.
Model calls are when I ask parents to bring in their newborn baby for a free photo shoot so that I can perfect something before trying it with a paid client.
It might be that I want to practice a certain pose or try out new lighting. In Lottie's case I had a few new creative ideas that I wanted to try.
Firstly, if you're not having photos taken you can wear what ever you like! You are very much very welcome in your pyjamas if that's what makes you happy. If anyone has anything negative to say about that, point to your newborn baby and carry on.
Read MoreEvery April the bluebells appear and we are treated to sheets of beautiful purple flowers just begging to be photographed. But what's the best thing for you and/or your children to wear?
Here are a few tips to help you pick out the perfect outfits.
Read MoreHis mum had had a C-section and was unable to travel to me so I hopped in my car and went to them instead.
When I arrived, the house was nice and warm and ready for me to set up in their living room.
People always worry that their houses won't be big enough when I travel, but usually any living room space is fine. I may have to move a table or close a curtain but I'm pretty adaptable!
