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.
Thank you SO MUCH to all the lovely families that have put their faith in me to capture images of their bumps, newborns and babies over the last year. I've met some amazing people, some of which have become good friends and I can't wait to continue photographing your families into the future.
Read MoreNumber 1 - I get to hug/play with babies (you know, and photograph them...)
Number 2 - I show parents their images and see their reactions at their Reveal Session.
Number 3 - I hand wrap and deliver their products, which according to a lot of my clients, is a lot like Christmas!
(If you feel like you don't need an excuse, high five to you, my sentiments exactly)
If you're not the type of person to spend hours sticking and appliquéing (see, I did remember something from GCSE Textiles) then check out these options that you can pick up during your weekly shop.
As newborn shoots usually take place in a babies first 5 - 10 days, I booked them in nice and quickly so we could capture all those tiny details before she grew too much.
There was no need to worry about her being more alert though - she was the perfect sleepy baby for the majority of her photo shoot!
I have people travel to me from all over Herts, Beds & Bucks with their newborns, but when Rhea's dad got in touch, I realised they only lived a few streets away - nice and easy!
Read MoreWhen you first find out you're pregnant it feels like you have all the time in the world. You're careful not to start buying things too early (you know, apart from that little outfit that you just couldn't leave behind) and you wait longingly for each scan to see that little face one more time and the reassurance that everything is a-ok.
Read MoreAll I had to do was speak to her and she'd break out into the most gorgeous smile. Her face was full of expression the entire photo shoot.
Read MoreShe had the most gorgeous eyes, which we got to see a lot because she outright refused to sleep!
Read MoreYour newborn baby is precious and their safety comes second to none at your photo shoot.
Read MoreI call them 'summer', but I actually got so busy with Newborn shoots in the Spring that they ended up taking place on the last two weeks of August (whoops).
Thankfully we completely lucked out on the weather and had beautiful sunshine on both days (similar to last year so maybe they're lucky!)
As a newborn and baby photographer, I have to take the safety of my little clients very seriously. It might surprise you to know that the newborn photography industry is completely unregulated. Photographers like me, who take safety seriously, have to take it upon ourselves to be trained and educated on how to ensure the beautiful images we create, are done safely.
Read MoreAh, that special moment after weeks of encouragement when your little one starts to move around the house by themselves - a little uncoordinated and cute at first but then suddenly, those arms and legs are propelling them at the speed of light.
It is soon after this joy and love for their accomplishment that you realise just how many pointy edges and slammable doors there are around the house.
Read MoreSeptember is Baby Safety Month, which is a great reminder to make sure your knowledge is up to scratch should you ever need to save a child's life.
It is easy to get overwhelmed with the amount of choice there is but remember;
With her mum being a hair dresser, it made those luscious locks even more perfect.
While we were getting to ready to start with family photos, we talked about the risks of getting pee'd and poo'd on when handling a naked baby. Madison's mum and I were wearing matching white tops (thank you Asda) which are lovely tops for photos but are a little risky around a tiny naked bum.
Read MoreThank you so much for the lovely delivery, from the photography to the little details you've been fantastic.

Read MoreBeside the usual cat videos, over the last few years the world has been taken by storm by children watching other children open and play with toys, adults acting out scenes with toys (yes, this is apparently acceptable) and tweenagers falling in love with YouTubers just like we did with pop stars.
If you think youtube is just for children and weirdoes though, you are very wrong!
Mum (and dad!) vloggers are taking to YouTube in force, sharing the ups and downs of pregnancy, children and family life.
Back in 2016 I met Harper and her family for her newborn photo shoot.
She was tiny little bundle of sleepiness, who slept like a dream, snuggled in the cosiness of her mum and dad's gorgeous house. See how tiny she is in her dad's arms? Well stick around...
Read MoreDeciding what theme, colours and designs you'd like for your new baby's nursery is an incredibly exciting (if a little daunting...) process. The world of colour, pattern and design is your oyster.
If you've chosen to go the colourful route - high five to you! I think colourful nursery's give the impression of a really fun and happy space to grow up.
I hope this blog post fills you with inspiration and helps designing your new baby's room that little bit easier.
Read MoreTo start things off I used a lovely cream fluffy blanket. You'll have to trust me on this but it is SO soft! No wonder babies sleep so well on it.
I laid him down and got some natural photos while he got comfy and then when he was in a nice deep sleep I wrapped him up in a dark grey wrap.
