London Newborn Photography
Bringing a newborn into the world is the beginning of something real—your family’s story, just starting to unfold.
My sessions hold space for that blur of early life—where time slows and every tiny detail matters. Whether your baby is tucked into your arms, stretching in the morning light, or drifting off to sleep, I’ll capture them as they truly are—honest, intimate, full of meaning, love and wonder.
Based in North London, I create newborn portraits that centre connection and calm. From the softness of home to the light that wraps around you, each frame becomes part of your family’s story.
But this is more than just photography—it’s your legacy, preserved. Whether framed on your wall or held in an album, these images live on—ready to be passed down, touched, and remembered.
Most families I work with aren’t sure what to expect — but once we begin, it all unfolds gently. You don’t need to be ‘camera-ready’ or have everything together
I work with families across London, the UK, and beyond—bringing presence, care, and storytelling to every session.
The newborn stage passes in a blink—the way they curl into you, the sleepy stretches, the tiny moments you didn’t realise you’d miss. These images aren’t just about how it looked. They bring you back to how it felt.
My sessions are gentle, baby-led, and shaped by your family’s rhythm. No stiff poses. No pressure. Just the quiet, natural magic of these early days—captured with care.
Whether it’s soft morning light at home or a space that means something to you, these portraits will reflect your story honestly.
Because one day, when this chapter feels like a blur, you’ll have something real to hold onto.
This is more than just photography.

The ideal time for a newborn session is when your baby is between 1 and 12 weeks old — but truly, it’s never too late. Whether they’re curled up and sleepy or wide-eyed and taking it all in, we’ll capture this chapter just as it is.
I only take on a limited number of newborn sessions each month so I can give each family the time and care they deserve. If you’re thinking of booking, especially during busier seasons, it’s best to get in touch early.
Let’s create something lasting — a quiet, honest record of this once-in-a-lifetime moment.
-
Before we meet, we’ll connect about what matters to you—your vision, your space, and the small details that make your family unique. I want this to feel easy, thoughtful, and personal.
Newborn sessions usually take around 2–3 hours. We go at your baby’s pace, with plenty of time for cuddles, feeds, and pauses. There’s no pressure — just space to settle in and let the moments unfold naturally.
You’ll receive a private online gallery within a week, filled with hand-edited portraits that capture the heart of this chapter in your story.
“Almost every parent I’ve worked with has said how grateful they were afterwards — even if they weren’t sure what to expect going in. That’s always stayed with me. ”
PRICING

Honest, relaxed photography for growing families.
Newborn sessions take place in your home, where you and your baby are most at ease. The pace is gentle, the approach is calm, and there’s no pressure to have everything perfect — real life is welcome here.
Whether you’ve just had your baby or are planning ahead, I’ll guide you through every step. I’ll help you prepare your space, choose what to wear, and feel fully supported throughout the session.
But you don’t need to have it all together — just come as you are.
Together, we’ll create a set of images that feel warm, natural, and honest — the kind you’ll want to return to again and again.
I only take on a small number of sessions each month to keep the experience personal. To check availability and get full details, just fill out the contact form or email me directly at samantha@samantha-black.com
I’d love to help you hold onto this time in a way that truly lasts.

A note on investment
In addition to the session fee, image collections and printed artwork are available separately. There’s no pressure to decide everything upfront — we’ll explore your options together after your session, so you can choose what feels right.
Collections vary in scope, and for larger orders, there’s room to space things out a little if needed. Just reach out — we’ll figure out what works best.
Whether it’s a handcrafted album, a framed print for your home, or a full gallery of digital images, I’ll help you preserve these memories in a way that’s thoughtful and lasting.

Absolutely. The beauty of photography isn’t just in what you see on screen — it’s in how it lives with you. On your walls. In your hands. In the quiet moments it brings rushing back.
Many families choose to turn their images into meaningful keepsakes: bespoke albums, fine art prints, or statement pieces for their home. I’ll help you choose what fits your space and style — no fuss, just honest guidance.
You can explore more on my Artwork & Albums page, or reach out if you’d like help deciding what feels right.
“If you’ve been thinking about this for a while, take it as a quiet nudge. I’d love to help you preserve this chapter — honestly, gently, and with heart.”

why Prints & albums matter
We take photos to remember — not just how it looked, but how it felt.
But memories aren’t meant to live in folders or disappear in the cloud.
There’s something powerful about holding a photograph.
A print invites you to pause. An album becomes a book of love — part of your family’s story.
The photos we return to are the ones we can touch.
Passed down, held close, full of meaning.
This is why I offer artwork made to last — so years from now, your child can turn the pages and feel the love in every image.
