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.
Autumn is such a beautiful time of year to be expecting a baby!
As a photographer I love the Autumn. The light is beautiful and the colours of nature turns the blandest landscape into a work of art. It’s no wonder that Autumn inspires so many artists, poets and creatives is it?
It’s also little wonder that so many parents choose Autumnal themed names for their babies born in the most beautiful season of the year.
Read MoreAs we move into Autumn, we all start thinking about all of the fun, family activities going on in Milton Keynes over the next few months.
However, if your children are really small, Halloween can be a little bit scary. Lots of the activities take place when it’s dark and let’s face it, some older kids costumes can be downright terrifying!
If you want to get into the Halloween Spirit (no pun intended) and be guaranteed to be fright free - then baking at home is a great activity for little ones.
Read MoreOctober half term is always a brilliant time for family fun.
Whilst some families choose to get away for the week, plenty more decide to stay at home and enjoy all of the things we have on offer locally. This year we have so many things to do in Milton Keynes that I thought i would pull them all together in one place.
Read MoreThere are not many photographers who won’t have ever heard the phrase:
‘That’s a great camera, no wonder your pictures are so good’
Now there is no denying that the right equipment can make a huge difference to the quality of your images, but today, I’m here to bust this myth!
Read MoreI love an autumnal Newborn Photo Shoot.
To be honest I like any photo shoot where I can use a new season as inspiration but Autumn has got to be up there as one of my favourites.
Give me pumpkins, leaves and warm tones and I am a happy girl.
Read MoreNewborn photo shoots are one of my favourite things to photograph.
Meeting new and expanding families and getting to know them is extremely special. They come to my home studio in Milton Keynes when their baby is only one week old and trust me with their most precious cargo to capture photos for them to treasure for the rest of their lives. If that’s not special, I don’t know what is.
Read MoreYou only need to look at Daisy’s happy, cheeky face to see how this cake smash went!
She loved to clap, crawl and climb right into the cake!
Read MoreOh my gosh Daisy, you were so much fun!
I see all kinds of babies when it comes to Cake Smashes in my studio. Babies who are a little cautious, babies who are neat. Some find the cake quite uninteresting and others - well they go crazy and dig right in.
Once we got started, Daisy did not hold back!
Read MoreCharlotte’s newborn photo shoot really was amazing.
She was the perfect amount of asleep and awake, at all the right times.
We started with photos of her and her mummy, which she slept soundly through. I ADORE these images and know she will treasure them when she grows up.
Read MoreYou’ve been waiting for what seems like forever, but finally you’re in your third trimester and your September baby’s arrival is a few short weeks away.
Wait, what!? All of a sudden you feel like you’re running out of time to be prepared and that nesting instinct is well and truly kicking in!
Read MoreAs a photographer, I’m always being asked by friends, families and clients for tips on how to take better photos.
Most of us carry a camera around with us in the shape of our mobile phones. In fact, you could say people take more photographs now than ever before.
Think about how many photographs you take of your family that never quite make the grade and end up being deleted. It’s not as easy as it looks to get everyone looking in the same direction, smiling and with all of their limbs in the frame!
Read MoreAre you expecting a baby this September?
September is the month with the highest birthrate and therefore my busiest time of the year for newborn shoots!
I thought it was a great time to pull together some September baby fun facts. Feel free to share them with any mums who are due this September.
Read MoreYour summer holiday plans can easily be disrupted when rain stops play - literally.
If you find yourself with ruined plans today and are looking for something to entertain the kids, I’ve got you covered.
Honestly, where do we start?! Milton Keynes has so many indoor activities for kids it’s hard to list them all but here we go…
Read MorePeople’s opinions of how long your baby is a ‘newborn’ for does differ wildly. In this article, we’ll discuss this from a newborn photography perspective so that if you are planning a portrait session for your baby you can be well prepared.
Read MoreIf you are wondering if you really NEED newborn portraits, then the answer is no. It’s not an essential purchase like your baby car seat or your pram.
BUT here are all of the reasons my clients tell me they are so grateful they made the decision to book their newborn photo shoot.
Read MoreMoving 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!) Add in the fact you’re moving to a new town, a new county and oh yeah, it’s all happening through a global pandemic (!) and you’ve got yourself a doozy.
So why did we feel the call from the roundabout haven itself, the big MK, Milton Keynes?
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.
Read MoreWith most splash parks closed due to COVID in 2020, lots of children are missing out on long, hot summer days playing in the water.
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.
