Newborn photographer London. Although I’ve never really thought of these sessions as being just about the newborn.
There’s the baby, obviously. But there’s also you learning them. The way they fit into your hands. The insane feeling of suddenly being someone’s mum or dad.
The feeding, settling, stopping, starting and wondering whether we’re actually going to get any photographs at all. We always do.
I don’t need your baby to sleep. I don’t need your home to look a certain way. And I definitely don’t need any of you to be good at having your photograph taken.
I just need you as you are. I’ll take care of the rest.
I photograph newborn babies and their families at home across London. Natural, intimate photographs that hopefully feel like you.
Samantha Black, newborn photographer in London.
