Rhea's Sleepy Newborn Photo Shoot | Hemel Hempstead

October 05, 2017/ Becki Willams Photography/ Rebecca Williams

Rhea's family first got in touch when she was 2 weeks old.

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!

Becoming a Photographer - My Journey

October 03, 2017/ Becki Williams Photography/ Rebecca Williams

I meet new people weekly. I get to know them and I watch their family grow.

I get to capture moments in time that families can look back on and enjoy forever.

I cuddle newborns, I sing with babies, I make tea for tired and emotional mums.

I get to edit in my pyjamas!

Newborn Photography: Studio vs. In Your Home

September 28, 2017/ Becki Williams Photography/ Rebecca Williams

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.

A Smiley 2 Month Old Photo Shoot | Hemel Hempstead | Emily

September 27, 2017/ Becki Williams Photography/ Rebecca Williams

Emily is one of the smiliest 2 month olds I have ever photographed!

All 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.

Ava's Newborn Photo Shoot | Hemel Hempstead

September 22, 2017/ Becki Williams Photography/ Rebecca Williams

Little Ava came to me for her newborn photo shoot from Leighton Buzzard when she was 10 days old.

She had the most gorgeous eyes, which we got to see a lot because she outright refused to sleep!

Balloons & Bubbles | Summer Mini Photo Shoots 2017

September 18, 2017/ Becki Williams Photography/ Rebecca Williams

This year I held Summer Mini Photo Shoots in Hemel Hempstead on the Nickey Line.

I 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!)

Newborn Baby Photographer | Hemel Hempstead | Oliver

Some babies arrive smoothly and others with a bump. Some arrive late, and some, like Oliver, arrive very early.

The Baby & Newborn Photography Association - Who they are and why I joined

September 07, 2017/ Becki Williams Photography/ Rebecca Williams

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.

14 Must Haves when baby proofing your home!

August 31, 2017/ Becki Williams Photography/ Rebecca Williams

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.

Baby Safety Month | Baby First Aid Courses in Hertfordshire

August 31, 2017/ Becki Williams Photography/ Rebecca Williams

September 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;

Any course is better than no course at all.

A Girly Newborn Photo Shoot | Hemel Hempstead | Madison

August 29, 2017/ Rebecca Williams

When Madison arrived for her Newborn Photo Shoot the first thing I noticed was her amazing hair!

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.

Thank you so much for the lovely delivery, from the photography to the little details you've been fantastic.

Top Mummy YouTubers & Why You Should Watch Them!

August 10, 2017/ Rebecca Williams

Beside 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.

And when I say ups and downs, I mean it.

Baby Photography | Hitchin | Harper Turns 1!

August 07, 2017/ Rebecca Williams

And just like that, little miss Harper turns 1.

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...

A Bright & Colourful Nursery - Inspiration & Ideas

August 04, 2017/ Rebecca Williams

Deciding 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.

Newborn Photography | Hemel Hempstead | Albie

July 19, 2017/ Rebecca Williams

Albie was the perfect little model at his newborn photo shoot a couple of weeks ago. He slept from the get go and pretty much stayed that way the entire shoot!

To 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.

Also, check out the amazing mohican!

Toddler Photography | Hemel Hempstead | Alfred Turns 2!

July 03, 2017/ Rebecca Williams

Photographing a newborn once is lovely, but getting to see them grow up is even more special.

I first met Alfred and his family 2 years ago at their house in Hemel Hempstead. He was only a few days old and a teeny tiny bundle compared to the little boy he is now!

Baby Photography Hemel Hempstead | Elsie Turns 1!

June 26, 2017/ Rebecca Williams

“We couldn’t recommend Becki highly enough - she was brilliant with our daughter who was instantly relaxed around her meaning we got amazing natural photographs that we are so happy with. She captured her personality perfectly. The photos and canvases are such high quality and we will definitely be using her again for baby number 2!”

— Lauren, Elsie's mum

Baby Photography Hemel Hempstead | Scarlett Turns 1

June 20, 2017/ Rebecca Williams

Just over a year ago I met Scarlett, a teeny tiny little newborn girl in Hemel Hempstead.

At only a few days old, she was a gorgeous little newborn model and I spent a few hours with her family getting a mixture of sleepy posed photos and more relaxed family photos.
Their conservatory was full of the most gorgeous natural light and was the perfect spot for cuddles and sleepy warmth.
