My Favourite Newborn Photos From 2018
/ Becki Williams Photography/ Rebecca WilliamsAs always, it’s just crazy that a whole year has past and another group of newborns have come through my door for their Newborn Photo Shoot.
Looking back through the images, some seem like forever ago and some like yesterday. It’s crazy to think that some of these babies will be turning 1 in a few weeks.
It’s always hard to pick my favourite images. Generally they are different from the parents favourite images but there is just something about them that catches my eye.
It might be that I am really proud of a set up that I created, a pose I did well or a digital backdrop edit that I remember being really tough.
On the other hand, it might be that magical family connection, that funny face pulled at the perfect moment or that gorgeous personality already coming through at such a young age.
For all those reasons and more, here are some of my favourite newborn photos from 2018.
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!
