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.
Moving house is one of the most stressful things you’ll ever do (up there with divorce apparently. And I imagine moving house causes a few of them!)

Not every child will love reading and that’s absolutely fine. We all have our own ways of learning or escaping to a new world and whether that’s through books, art, play or however they naturally express themselves, embrace it and let their imaginations run wild.
If your child does love books as much as I did as a kid, enjoy every pre-bedtime cuddle with a good book and go on as many exciting adventures with them as they’ll let you. They will look back and treasure the memories just like I do.

Well, COVID may have taken our splash parks but it cannot take our rivers! Here are some ideal places for your children to dip their toes in the water this summer.
Read MoreYour holiday abroad has been cancelled (thanks a bunch COVID19) and you’re left with week booked off of work with no plans.
May as well cancel it, right?
Hold your horses - maybe not! Many families are embracing a 2020 At Home Family Staycation.
After being spoilt with a lovely, sunny Spring, Summer is now here and so is PYO season.
A trip to a Pick Your Own farm is a great idea for a family day out and as a plus, you come home with a punnet full of Strawberries, Raspberries, Blackberries or lots of other lovely fruit.
Read MoreWhile I watched my best friend jet off to Antigua in the summer holidays, I was being packed into the back of a car between my big brother and sister (as the youngest I always got crammed into the middle seat) with bags of food in the footwell and duvets on our laps on our way to a campsite for the weekend - and I loved it!

Read MoreWith VE Day around the corner, you may be looking for some fun and educational ways to get your children involved in the celebration.
Here are some resources for you to enjoy together including videos, power points, colouring and word searches from various sources across the internet.
Read MoreCreate a time lapse video - It’s much easier than it sounds I promise. All you need is something simple to move (like a toy) and an app on your phone. You can find a blog post about it Here.
A photo scavenger hunt - Get them searching high and low around the house for certain items. This is a great way to teach them colours and letters without realising they’re learning. You can download an Indoor Scavenger Hunt List Here.
A photo a day challenge - Get them to tell you why they chose to photograph what they did each day.
Charlie came in as a gorgeous little newborn and since then, well he’s grown into a cheeky little monkey of a baby.
Read MoreEvery 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.

3. Choose an outfit or two for your newborn
4. Timing is everything

Time Lapses are a really fun way to create little videos together as a family.
