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.
With 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 MoreEvery year for as long as I can remember, I have given up something for Lent.
I really enjoying testing myself in a way which will improve my health or life in general and Lent is a great reminder for me to that.
Read MoreWhat amazing weather we've had this month!
Yes, I'm aware it's very British to talk about the weather, but this June it really feels like something that should be mentioned. Spring was amazing and with the record high temperatures we're currently having it looks like Summer is heading that way as well.
Read MoreEliana came for her newborn photo shoot when she was 7 days old.
Her mummy knew she was having a c-section so we were actually able to book her shoot in on a certain day and keep it there, which doesn't happen very often when you're working with unpredictable newborns!
With a full tummy and toasty warm room, my run of perfectly sleepy babies continued as she slept from beginning to end without any fuss.
Read MoreThis year, one of my goals is to start taking photos for fun again, rather than just for work.
It's been so long since I have taken photos for myself that I didn't even know if I'd enjoy just photographing every day life anymore. As it happens I had nothing to worry about because I loved it.
Read MoreI was looking through old primary school books recently and found one saying
'Mathew Miller is my boyfriend'
I was about 7 at the time, while he was 11 and best friends with my brother.
Alas it wasn't meant to be and he is now happily engaged and has just welcomed his second son, Kellen, into the world.
Toby & Jake live with their mum and dad a few doors down from our house. They love saying hello to Jess the dog, showing me whatever new toy they have or just telling me something random about their day.
For the majority of 2017, the big news was that they were about to become big brothers. And they were excited!
Read MoreThe ideal time for a newborn to be photographed is between 5 & 10 days but I do offer posed photo shoots to babies up to three weeks. I might not get as many sleepy posed photos at 3 weeks but it all depends on the baby - some still sleep like a dream!
Read MoreThe best thing about photographing family is that it's more like a day out rather than work. I can try things and happily admit when they don't work and at the end you get to hang out, practice cartwheels and eat ice-cream. (Unfortunately I was too full from ice-cream for the cartwheels otherwise obviously I would have joined in...)
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!
When 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 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!)
Ah, 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 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.
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.
