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.
As the festive season approaches, there’s nothing quite like the magic of Christmas to bring warmth and joy to our homes. For families with young children, creating cherished memories during this time of year is a heartwarming tradition.
So, gather your little ones close, because we’re about to embark on a magical journey of Christmas activities right in the comfort of your home.
Read MoreThis Christmas there are literally tons of activities and events in Milton Keynes for you to visit with your family.
From visiting Santa’s Grotto, having breakfast with the man himself, Christmas lights being turned on, kids parties - the list goes on! Lots of these sell out really quickly but there are always options if you’ve missed out on the popular events!
Read MoreThe festive season is a time of joy, togetherness, and creating lasting memories with loved ones.
As a portrait photographer, one of the most rewarding aspects of my job is helping families capture these special moments.
Read MoreChristmas Mini Photo Shoots are one of the highlights of my year.
Now I’m not going to lie - it’s a very busy, hectic time of year for me but it’s so totally worth it!
I have families come back to be photographed year after year as their family grows and I look forward to our annual catch up. The fact that so many people still come my new location in Emerson Valley, Milton Keynes (40 minutes from my old studio) means so much to me.
Read MoreOrganising and storing your Christmas photos is something most of us plan to do properly every year and by the time January rolls around, we’re already over it!
Maybe it’s because so much planning goes into Christmas that having an additional planning task just pushes us over the edge. However, if you’ve ever lost a phone or had hardware fail on your PC, you’ll know that losing valuable data and images hurts. It REALLY hurts.
Read MoreLittle Willem came into my studio specially, so that I could show off some of the beautiful Christmas digital backdrops I have in my collection for Newborn Photo Shoots.
And let me tell you - he was the perfect little model!

Read MoreAfter the difficult times we’ve all suffered over the last few years, we can finally enjoy Christmas with much more freedom - yay!
However, so many small businesses really have suffered and continue to struggle with rising costs.
Being a small, independent business myself, I know all too well how hard small businesses have had to fight to stay afloat. For that reason, this year I’m making an extra effort to do as much of my Christmas shopping local and with independent businesses where I can.
On the run up to Christmas I decided to challenge myself by venturing into the world of Newborn Portraits on Digital Backgrounds.
This is where I photograph a newborn baby on a simple backdrop and them edit them into a Christmas scene.
Read MoreIt’s the final Photo Project of the year!
And I’ve certainly made it a dark and gloomy looking one.
Read MoreEvery Christmas, along with all the fancy, pretty decorations, my mum still gets out decorations from when we were a baby and when we were at school.
Now some of these decorations are barely holding it together anymore (not surprising considering they’re at least 25 years old!) but the sentiment behind them means they get pride of place each year.
If you missed out on a Christmas Mini Photo Shoot this year or if you just fancy taking photos yourself, here’s a beginners guide to taking amazing Christmas photos of your baby, simply using your mobile phone.

Read MoreI can’t believe it’s been 4 years since I gave up my job as a video editor to become a full time photographer. The time has absolutely flown past and I can’t imagine myself doing anything else!
Personalised Christmas gifts are here!
Read MoreLittle Lithuanian Adomas came in a few weeks ago for his Newborn Session, just before things shut down for Christmas.
I had just completed 15 Christmas Mini sessions with under 5s and it was lovely to leave the mayhem behind and get back to the sleepy cuteness.
Rory's mum brought him to my house to get some Christmas photos in early December.
I should be thanking Rory for letting me photograph him really because this little guy has already been scouted as a baby model!
I started with a white fairy light set up, similar to what was used for Daisy's Christmas shoot a few weeks ago. He loved the camera and kept crawling towards it, giving us lots of action shots!
It was then time for an outfit change where he became Santa Rory and we went and played downstairs with ball balls and the Christmas tree.
I love to try and capture milestones at my shoots, specially in the first year, so it was great when we got a photo of him standing by himself - his latest trick :)
If you ever fancy having a themed photo shoot - there is no need to ask. The answer is yes, Yes & YES!
Toby's mum contacted me a few weeks before Christmas and asked whether I would take some photos for a calendar she was putting together of him representing each month of the year to give out to family.
We started brain storming for what we could do (some months are really quite difficult!) and came up with a plan and a variety of props.
As with a lot of 1 year olds, Toby's teeth were really not his friends on the day of the shoot. That said, he was very patient with us putting him in (the most amazing) angel wings, picnic baskets, swimsuits etc.
He looked SO CUTE as cupid!
I hope that all of the family liked their calendars :)
