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.
Newborn photo shoots are one of my favourite things to photograph.
Meeting new and expanding families and getting to know them is extremely special. They come to my home studio in Milton Keynes when their baby is only one week old and trust me with their most precious cargo to capture photos for them to treasure for the rest of their lives. If that’s not special, I don’t know what is.
Read MoreCharlotte’s newborn photo shoot really was amazing.
She was the perfect amount of asleep and awake, at all the right times.
We started with photos of her and her mummy, which she slept soundly through. I ADORE these images and know she will treasure them when she grows up.

Read MoreAre you expecting a baby this September?
September is the month with the highest birthrate and therefore my busiest time of the year for newborn shoots!

She’s the perfect example that it is never too late for newborn photos.

Read MoreAlthough you’ll generally hear that newborn photos are best taken when a baby is under two weeks old, I would never turn away a baby for being ‘too old’ for photos.
I may change my setups a little and we may get more awake, unposed photos than usual, but if you’ve missed that 2 week time slot, there’s no reason to panic.
Read MoreAs someone in a creative job, I am forever coming up with new ideas for photo shoots.
Sometimes I have new props I’d love to use or a new Cake Smash set up I’m dying to try. Instead of waiting for the right client for each idea, I have decided that in 2020 I will run a Monthly Model Call.
