As part of the personal service that I provide for all my clients I always have a chat with parents about style and colour.  This conversation often takes place in advance of a photoshoot but may also occur at the start of a newborn photoshoot whilst baby is having a feed!

When Bodi’s parents booked their newborn photoshoot they had only one colour request!   They wanted the entire newborn collection to be Black and White!  Mum specifically wanted black and white baby photos of Bodi!

Now it is no secret that I am a lover of Black and white and I always provide a percentage of black and white baby photos within every newborn photoshoot collection however an entire gallery of black and white baby photos was a whole new ball game!  But what a client wants is what I deliver so it was time to rise to the challange.

I don’t normally blog about specfic photoshoot however I thought that since this was a little different it might be nice to show you all what a collection of black and white baby photos looks like. 

Black and white baby photos planning

 Prior to the session I carried out a little research for some additional posing inspiration and planned to use my black and grey back grounds for shooting on as these 2 are the ones that work well when converting images to black and white.  I also selected clothing to compliment this so that the focus was always brought back to baby’s face.  

I really enjoyed being pushed outside my comfort zone and working to an unusal brief.  The chance to challenge my creativity whilst producing beautiful baby photos for Bodi’s parents was a lot of fun and a wonderful experience.  I’d love to hear what you think?  Do you like Black and white photos?
