Jensen's Newborn Photo Shoot | Hemel Hempstead
/ Becki Williams Photography/ Rebecca WilliamsEvery now and then I put out a ‘Model Call’, which is where I ask if anyone would like to bring their baby in for a free shoot with a few free images included.
I then use that photo shoot to practice posing, try a new set-up, get marketing images etc.
I’ve been SO lucky with Model Calls recently. I keep getting the most gorgeous, perfectly sleepy babies - and Jensen was no different!
He slept soundly throughout his newborn shoot and I used the time to work on a couple of poses from a recent training course I had been on.
I adore his photos and his family did too.
If you’re interested in taking part in a Model Call, I generally announce them on Facebook first so make sure you’re following me over there. I offer them throughout the year for babies of all ages so it’s definitely worth keeping an eye out.
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!
