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.
Abby's family were bought a gift voucher for three sessions, which they decided to use at 4 months, 8 months & 1 year.
Time has flown by, as it has a habit of doing, and a few weeks ago I completed Abby's last session.
For this session, Abby's family decided to turn it into a family photo shoot, including her mum, dad and two big sisters.
Read MoreEveryone meet Lylah. This gorgeous little thing was towards the older end of the timescale that I offer newborn photo shoots so she was on the wriggly side!
My main aim for her session was to get some beautiful images with her mum as well as some images in props.
I first met this little family back in 2015 when they had their first son Casper.
I travelled to their house in St. Albans for their session where little Casper played hard ball and did not want to settle. He wasn't having the happiest of days so in the end I decided it would be best if I went away and tried again another day.
In the end his parents got a lovely gallery of images to choose from of both awake and sleepy images.
I love photographing twins. Some photographers think of it as extra work but I love having a spare baby. One twin crying? That's ok, just pass me the other until we're good to go again.
I also find that when they are together they settle each other so well. They're so used to being together in the womb that they love being close.
That was exactly the case with Jacob and Imogen when I met them and their mum and dad a few weeks ago.
Read MoreI first met Harper for her newborn photo shoot around 8 months ago. She was the perfect little sleepy model and we got a selection of gorgeous images - I mean, how cute is the image below?! And that hair!!
As usual time disappeared in the blink of an eye and it was time for Harper's next milestone session. I headed to their house and we got some gorgeous lifestyle family images as well as shots of Harper by herself.
I do sessions in all kinds of houses and every now and then I fall in love. Beautifully decorated, loads of space and gorgeous sunlight - this house is a dream!
I love days like Mother's Day. I know some people think they are just ways of making us spend more money, blah blah blah, but I think they are the perfect little reminders to show people in our life how much we appreciate them.
Yes, in an ideal world we would show them every single day but you know as well as I do that life happens and before you know it it's weeks since you've given your mum an extra long or tight hug.
That doesn't make choosing a gift any easier though.
It's only 3 months since Christmas and in my case only 2 months since mum's birthday so present ideas are running thin.
Homemade or shop bought? Small token gift or flashy show of love? I've put together a list of my top picks from home made crafts, local businesses, online, high street finds and pure extravagance.
Read MoreI first met the Montgomery family before they even became the Montgomery family back in September 2015.
There was talk of a wedding but the main focus at that time was the little bump that was soon to arrive.
The majority of their session took place at their house in High Wycombe (which is one of the most hilly places i've ever been!)
Read MoreEvery Wednesday I have the very important job of collecting my niece Rosie from school.
It generally involves a trip to Sainsburys for some kind of snack or magazine and then home to watch The Worst Witch and pretend we work in a cafe/school/dance academy.
She quite happily spends the couple of hours we have together jumping around my house, flinging herself off of furniture with one main rule - Don't Hurt Yourself!
Looking for the Top Baby Shows in and around Hertfordshire? You're in the right place!
Trade shows are a right of passage to all the major events of your life. Getting Married? Trade show! Building a house? Trade show! Having a baby? Trade show! I just googled and yes, there is in fact such a thing as a Funeral trade show.
Read MoreWe have worked with Becki a number of times and have always found her shoots to be relaxed and enjoyable. She provides a wonderful variety of images to choose from and always has great ideas and props! We look forward to working with her again!
- The Hall Family
Read MoreThis blog post feels a little more special than usual because it features newborn baby pictures of two little cousins - Isabella & Louie.
Read MoreThere is something extra special about doing newborn baby pictures for family. And yes, bragging rights that you got cuddles before other members of the family is definitely a bonus!
Read MoreWhen it comes to newborn photography, some babies are nice and sleepy and others are way to interested in the world around them to sleep. I can't count the amount of times i've lost out to a window or a twirling ceiling fan.
Read MoreLittle Lithuanian Adomas came in a few weeks ago for his Newborn Session, just before things shut down for Christmas.

Meet little Lachlan, the most gorgeous little boy with a genuinely lovely family.
When I first heard that the family wanted an Irish, Rugby, Autumn themed newborn baby photoshoot I've got to say, I wasn't quite sure how I was going to get it all to work together.
Of course the only real answer was to go shopping!
I first met Thomas and his family in April when I did his newborn session at their house in Hemel Hempstead when he was just a few days old.
As usual, time has gone ridiculously fast and a couple of weeks ago I headed back to photograph his next milestone session.
When I first walked into their house it was great to see a large framed print of the above image hanging in their dining room. They also have smaller prints dotted around the house, in their bedroom and his nursery. Much better than a USB stuck inside a drawer!
When ever I send emails to my clients letting them know what to expect from their session I also express my love for vests and nakedness!
There's nothing quite like the podge of a 6 month old and I dare you not to smile at that little naked bottom!!!
We got some really lovely family images at their last session so it was important to me to make sure I captured some more now that Thomas has grown up a little.
I love a relaxed look to these photos so I encourage cuddles and playtime while I wander around and capture the smiles.
He may have only just been mastering the art of sitting but he certainly looks like he's got in down in this image!
I love that you can a picture of him as a newborn with his mum and dad in the background.
Sessions with babies around 6 - 8 months are really just TONS of fun!
I encourage singing, dancing and just pure silliness to help get those beautiful natural grins. And no, you don't have to be self conscious because I will be singing and dancing right there with you!
I'm photographing so many milestone sessions lately that it's scary.
It only feels like I was photographing them as newborns 5 minutes ago, but here they are, smiling, sitting, standing, and full of personality.
Harry's mum Liz got in touch earlier this year whilst pregnant with Harry. Without knowing it, her brother had seen she'd liked my Facebook Page and contacted me to buy her a gift voucher.
It worked out pretty perfectly!
I went and met the gorgeous Harry in March and took some photos of his chunky newborn rolls!
Now, 8 months later, it was time for my next visit.
These images are the perfect example of why baby pictures are so important. Just look at the difference 8 months makes! Using teddies like this is the perfect way to show how fast he's grown.
When I take photos around peoples houses, I love to think of the children looking back in 10 years and their parents telling them stories about things in the images.
Maybe the monkey mural was a huge pain to put on the wall, the bunting was made by a family member, the teddies he loved to play with. I love to think that my images will be full of memories for them.
Ah, back to my favourite place to photograph babies - a big bed!
Harry's mum is making a calendar of pictures of him for Christmas so we needed to tick a couple of months off of the list during his session. First - Halloween.
In typical 8 month old style, this little monster did NOT like staying still. All he needs to do is flash you his dimples and you automatically forgive him though!
To finish off his session we headed out to a local park in St. Albans.
Considering it was October, we completely lucked out with the weather and found ourselves in beautiful sunshine.
At this point we had to try and be more interesting than the tractor that was currently driving around the field (it was tricky!) but we managed to get some fun images with mum as well as some wintery images for his calendar.
Harry and his family are always really lovely to work with and I'm already looking forward to heading back to St. Albans for his 1 year session - let's face it, it'll be here before we know it!
When Jame's family were searching for a lifestyle newborn photographer in Hemel Hempstead I'm so glad they came across my website.
James was a little older than the usual 5 - 10 day olds that I photograph in a posed session but was the perfect age for some relaxed lifestyle photos with his mum and dad.
We started upstairs in their beautiful bedroom where the summer sun was shining in through their large windows.
I laid James down on the bed and captured all those tiny details that won't stay tiny for long!
A few weeks ago Joshua and his family came to my house in Hemel Hempstead for their newborn photography session.
This little guy was a completely dream to work with and I got some beautiful images.
As usual, I started with wrapped images to get him into that super sleepy mood.
I can get three really lovely shots from the pose below - his whole body, his feet and a close up of his face.
I think we should take a second to appreciate his amazing hair. I LOVE it!
After we'd finished on the plainer blankets, it was time to get out the fluff!
He snuggled into the posing bowl perfectly and even flashed a cheeky smily :)
His mum decided to leave Joshua's big brother at home with his dad for first part of the session and then bring him round when we were ready for him. This meant he was ready and raring to go when it came time for sibling photos.
Joshua had started to wake up a little at this point so I wrapped him up snug and made sure he was ready for some big brother love.
I LOVE this family photo. So much in fact that I have used it in a sample product for my Reveal Sessions and gifted them a HUGE print of it.
As much as it may look like they're sitting there nicely together, much running and playing was required to get that bottom in mums lap!
It was a million percent worth it for the result :)
