2018 Photo Project | December
/ Becki Williams Photography/ Rebecca WilliamsIt’s the final Photo Project of the year!
And I’ve certainly made it a dark and gloomy looking one.
As I write this, tomorrow is the shortest day of the year and the sun is simply put, being quite lazy. It peaks from behind houses and trees before disappearing again, leaving us with another 3:30pm sunset.
I hope Australia are enjoying their extra vitamin D time right now.
It’s been a crazy busy month this month, getting everything wrapped up for Christmas so I definitely haven’t taken as many photos to choose from.
I really enjoy taking dark, grainy pictures around the house though. Put up some fairy lights and create some strange reflections and I am good to go.
Add a cold and frosty dog walk and Jess in her favourite spot and there you have my December.
Being a portrait photographer means I get to photograph lots of important stages in people’s lives, and Maternity Photo Shoots are always particularly lovely.
Pregnancy can bring plenty of highs and lows, lots of anticipation and, understandably, sometimes a few worries too.
Today, I want to share a little more about why you might choose to book a maternity photo shoot and the best time to plan one.
It feels like only yesterday I was photographing Roman at his Newborn Photo Shoot and now he’s turning one!
It’s always a pleasure to photograph this lovely family (something I’ve been doing for many years now) so when they booked a Birthday Photo Shoot for Roman I was very excited.
I’ve been a Milton Keynes Newborn Photographer for over 10 years and have seen every single type of older sibling there is.
No matter their age or how they feel about the new arrival, there are lots of tips and tricks to get the sibling photos you dream of.
When the stars align and you get both an asleep and awake baby at different stages of your newborn photo shoot, the result is the perfect combination of positioned, angelic sleepiness and newborn sass!
I always say ‘your baby is the boss’ and I mean it.
I have been photographing this lovely family ever since their oldest girl was a newborn baby, which absolutely blows my mind!
Families coming back to me year after year is not only an amazing part of my job but is also incredibly touching because it means someone is willing to trust me with capturing their family’s memories over and over again.
So when Theo’s mum got in touch to tell me she was pregnant again I booked them straight away and the countdown began!

Sometimes a newborn walks (well…is carried) in the studio and I am blown away by their hair. This was very much one of those occasions!
