I booked both a maternity and newborn shoot with Samantha Black Photography and cannot recommend enough. Prior to our maternity shoot we selected some styles of imagery that we liked and based on this Samantha chose a convenient location to us Northaw Woods. We decided to go for a shoot closer to our due date in order to go for a more autumnal look, again all guided by Samantha with precision. Her attention to detail and the amount effort she puts into her work is highly commendable and she made us feel so comfortable and included during the whole process. For someone that was quite conscious of the changes to my body during pregnancy, Samantha made me feel at ease on the day and I was beyond happy with the images we received and so impressed by the amount of photos to choose from, all of which we loved so much that it made it hard to shortlist our favourites! Again with our newborn shoot, we had a pre consultation where we selected some styles of imagery that we liked and on the day we choose from a wide and impressive selection of materials for the shoot. Samantha once again made us feel so at ease and comfortable on the day, and guided us so confidently through the whole experience. Our little one had a tongue tie at birth and we had a rough start to parenthood but Samantha was as patient as a saint and worked around our babies needs. She captured our baby so perfectly and the final images were so beautiful that again it was so hard to shortlist which images to print. The quality of print was also very impressive with so many options to choose from. I am so glad that we have these beautiful images and memories created by Samantha, I will definitely be booking her again for some more pictures when baby is a little older. We cannot thank you enough x

Sam photographed our newborn and from our first point of contact we were blown away with her standard of professionalism. You can tell that she puts her all into her work by the level of care she takes with her clients and their little ones. Our end products were so incredible that I have recommended her to so many of my friends and family since! Thank you so much Sam!

We had the most lovely experience with Samantha when she photographed our six-month-old son. She was incredibly communicative throughout the process, helping us know what to expect and how to "prepare" our son so she'd be able to get the best photos possible. During the session itself, she was so warm and pleasant to work with, yet professional, making sure she was able to get all the shots she planned in a timely manner. The photos were amazing and were delivered exactly when promised. We couldn't recommend Samantha enough and hope to have another session with her in the future.

Samantha was amazing to work with from start to finish. She was very friendly, professional and responsive, which was appreciated - not to mention, she was brilliant in getting my 3 year involved in the whole process. The photos are absolutely beautiful and we are so thankful that we found Samantha to capture this moment in time! Would highly recommend.

We first got in touch with Samantha to take maternity photos as I liked her portfolio. She spent a fair amount of time on the phone with me ahead of our engaging her to answer my questions and to ensure that her style and what we wanted were indeed a good match. She was a great help when it came to outfits as well! We've now received our maternity photos, and while I love all the photos, I really like how she captured the photo of us in the courtyard. It's such a cool photo - how she captured the pattern of the light coming through the leaves on the wall, the changing colours of the leaves, and, of course, us. There's so much going on in the photo that I notice something new each time, and it's just lovely how complex and simple it is all at once. We're looking forward to having Samantha work her magic when our baby is born!

Samantha is a very professional, talented and passionate photographer. She oozes passion for what she does and it was a pleasure for her to photograph our newborn. She is a complete natural with babies and I felt very comfortable and relaxed as a first time parent. The photoshoot is everything I expected and I enjoyed the whole experience as a family with our new addition. We absolutely love the pictures and will definitely be using her again in the future.

During these weird times when grand parents cannot meet their newborn grandchildren for months, Samantha’s photo session and the beautiful photos that came out of it were by far the most amazing gift we could give our parents. The album and the fine prints are also of an amazing quality and will be cherished for years to come.

Samantha is such an amazing artist! Not only she is incredibly kind, patient and professional, her taste and art bring something truly unique to her photos. I absolutely adore the photos of my son and we both really enjoyed the shoot with Sam, who made us feel really at ease.

Samantha was so professional from beginning to end and made the whole process very easy. We had a session booked when my baby was 4 weeks old and Samantha is a bonafide Baby whisper ;) and works slowly and patiently with your baby to capture the best images. I love the fact she does an in depth consultation with you prior to your session and the fact that she comes to your house instead of having to take Baby to a studio. I love her style of photography and the simple yet classic images she takes are timeless. She absolutely knows what she’s doing and I highly recommend her to anyone looking for stunning pictures and memories to have of their newborn or family. Samantha was a joy to work with and I hope to book with her again once Baby is older! My only complaint would be that I wish I could have more images to take home as there were too many lovely ones to choose from!

L. O.

I booked Samantha for my first baby boy’s newborn photoshoot and would highly recommend her! Her natural style is exactly what we were looking for, while her gift with babies made us feel completely at ease. Samantha was fantastic to work with from start to finish and we couldn’t be happier with the end result.

D. L.

Samantha, thank you for creating the ultimate family photography experience. We knew we absolutely loved your work, and from our initial communication we could feel the love and passion you have for your craft. But the time spent with you that day was almost surreal! Your ability to make us (as first time parents) feel safe and completely at ease was only illuminated by how happy and comfortable our son was with you. Your attention to detail is nothing short of impeccable. The creativity, the vision, the timing... You captured the moments that made us say "wow". The moments we'll cherish forever. As a professional service delivering a product you will ALWAYS get the highest recommendation from us. As a person you are first class and the experience you provide is an equally worthy investment. Thanks again and we'll see you for baby #2!

Sam made our newborn shoot experience so very special. From the weeks ahead she was in touch with us to exchange ideas and lay out how the day might flow so we knew what to expect. Her relaxed approach put us at ease, giving us time to feed and let baby nap, and she had such an eye for the best set ups around the house for us….we enjoyed every minute! In the following weeks, Sam was in constant contact sharing the photos and making edits we wanted, we had a hard time whittling them down but she made the process very easy. The final photos were just stunning, Sam’s aesthetic and style were exactly what we wanted, we still love looking at them even more so now that that tiny baby is not so tiny anymore! We’re so glad that Sam was the one who captured that treasured time in our lives.

J. S.

Samantha’s work is out of this world. I cannot recommend her enough. As a talented photographer, but also with a loving warm personality, which reflects in the way she works with a newborn to calm and soothe them to capture the best picture possible. My two children are ten years apart in age and Samantha captured the most precious timeless moments of my babies. Thank you so much!

A. B.

As first time parents we were very nervous about taking our newborn son to a studio to be photographed. We loved that Samantha was able to come to our home and transform it. We felt very comfortable with Samantha as she listened to what we wanted from the session. The photographs came out beautifully, I'm over the moon we were able to capture this memory of our son as a newborn. Looking forward to the next milestone we can capture.

B. H.

Sam was an absolute pleasure to work with from start to finish. She captured our 1 year old beautiful and he had such fun during the shoot. The photos are amazing and the quality of Sam’s work is clear to see. Thanks so much Sam!

M. G.

Samantha was great! She is so good with handling babies too. Her props are fantastic and she has tonnes of patience; we even got a few shots with out overactive puppy in the family shot and with our baby as Samantha held a treat! What a super star. Loved the final products too!

S. Y.

I first met Sam when we booked a newborn photoshoot for my daughter in 2017. She is absolutely wonderful at what she does and handled my daughter with such gentle ease. We spoke over the phone prior to the shoot and discussed ideas/what I was looking for etc which really made me feel included. During the shoot, Sam was very professional and easy to get on with! We loved the photos so much that we booked her again last month for our 2nd daughter's newborn shoot. This time my husband joined in too and it was a lovely experience! Sam was very accommodating to our requests/ideas in her own style which we absolutely loved! She knew which shots would look best and which shade of a particular colour would work well and that just reflected her high level of experience and quality of work! Thank you so much for capturing such endearing photos of our daughters Sam! If (and it's a BIG if) there is a 3rd, we will definitely be booking again! Best of luck, Tharan & Shivanee.

I can't recommend Samantha enough. From the moment I contacted her to enquire about a newborn shoot, I was put at ease and was very excited about the big day. Samantha didn't disappoint. On the day itself I watched in awe as she creatively worked with my 10 day old daughter. The final photos were stunning and the prints arrived very quickly and look great on the wall. I also ordered Thank You cards and everyone still comments on how amazing they were. It was an absolute pleasure working with Samantha.

M.

Samantha is an amazing photographer. On the day she was super patient with the baby and always responded with a smile to our last minute requests. The final package was sent to us in a beautiful box which made receiving the wonderful photographs ever more special.

Samantha has been photographing my twins since just before their first birthday. My twins have just turned 3 and we have asked Sam to return each year to do a photo shoot. Sam has such a friendly easy going manner and immediately put us at ease and allowed us to feel relaxed in front of the camera; in fact, some of the best photographs/moments that Sam captured have been when we were unaware she was even photographing us. In our first shoot with Sam she asked if there was anything specific we would like but we decided to leave it to the professional and now we leave it entirely up to Sam and follow any direction she gives us and we have never been disappointed with the results. The pictures are fantastic and we have had so many compliments on how natural and beautiful the moments are that are captured.

J. Z.

Samantha is our family photographer. She puts so much thought into her shoots to make them personal to each child and she has a gift for capturing the beautiful, unique details of each one. Sam responds quickly over email and phone, something you really want if you're spending the money for a shoot like this. She has a calm personality and patience for working with newborns, whether they have colic or are more chilled.

S. R.

Samantha's photos are absolutley amazing and we are so glad we decided to book her. She was very professional and returned all calls and responded to emails very promptly. The session itself was very calm and relaxing and our little one slept throughout the entire thing! I had no problem leaving my baby in her care. The final photos were great quality and we ordered a few prints to give to family. Thank you Samatha!

B. A.

We highly recommend Sam, she did a brilliant job photographing our 5 month old. We had a photoshoot at home and she made us feel really comfortable, she gave us lots of guidance beforehand about getting our home ready and choosing outfits. She was very patient and gave us lots of time to feed and settle our little one when needed on the day. She was calm, friendly and professional which really helped us feel relaxed and loosen up. We've had a lovely experience and will cherish the photos which are now up on our wall! - Sam had them printed for us and I'm glad we chose her fine art print option. What more can I say? She does her job with passion and you can tell.

Worth every Penny! Samantha performed a miracle when she came round to our house a couple of months ago for our photo shoot. My twin boys at the age of 10months woke up from their morning nap with that look on their face that screamed refusal. And true to form they refused to eat though they were clearly hungry, refused to laugh along to all their favourite nursery rhymes, refused to wear some of the cute hats that Samantha had bought along. It should have been a very long three hours but Samantha was so cheerful and so positive I was able to relax (not something I do often as a first time mum!). Even more amazing than the experience were the actual photos. Despite all the tears we have dozens of photos of two beautiful, smiling babies that we will treasure forever. In the split seconds where they couldn't help but smile, laugh or look at each other lovingly she was right there to catch it and the results are truly magical.

Such a pleasure working with Samantha - so professional, a great creative eye and very good with a newborn. She has good experience with babies and also helped us soothe her and clean up. Photos look stunning too!

We are very happy can be one of Samantha's client. The photos are prefect! She is very friendly and professional photographer. We had really good time at home. We do highly recommend Samantha.

L. E.

Sam had a wonderful approach to handling our 7 day old baby boy and managed to put us at ease (impressive as we are first time parents). We adore the finished product and will cherish those photos for years to come. Sam really is a talented photographer who loves what she does.

C. K.

Hi Sam, wow I've had a look at the photos. I'm speechless and so is Francis. We love your work. You have created such beautiful memories for our family that we will cherish forever and I'm sure Shiloh will also love in time to come when she's older. Im glad that you brought samples of your finished product as the digital images are not doing full justice compared to the print outs. I cant stress enough to other parents i highly recommend you to order print outs you will appreciate the art so much more. Thank you Samantha for such beautiful memories. Ps I cried when I first looked at the photos but they were tears of joy ;-) Thank you very much

J. S.

Cannot recommend Sam highly enough. From first contact to final delivery Sam was a real professional and it was a joy throughout. We now have the most stunning photos we will cherish forever.

S. B.

I can't tell you how amazing it was to have Sam capture our daughter and toddler, she made us feel so relaxed and it was extra special to have the pictures taken in our home. The pictures were fantastic and I'm so glad we chose Sam!

N. B.

Samantha's work doesn't fail to disappoint - she managed to capture our 8 day old newborn in the most perfect and personal way and has created memories that we will continue to enjoy for years to come.

C. S.

Wonderful experience with Samantha, she came to our home and really took care of the baby, and helped us get fantastic memories of our first few days with her.

We had a family photo shoot with Samantha and we couldn’t recommend her enough. We had to postpone a few times because of covid, lockdowns etc and Samantha was very nice and understanding. We had lots of fun during the session. Samantha is very friendly and knows how to put everyone at ease. The pictures are amazing! Thank you Samantha!

N. H.

Samantha was an absolute pleasure to work with! I originally booked a newborn shoot for my daughter, but due to the pandemic, I had to postpone the shoot. I was quite worried how a photoshoot with a very energetic one year old would turn out, but it was great! Samantha has a very warming personality, that made my daughter very comfortable and happy to take the pictures. The pictures turned out great and I will forever treasure them. I can’t wait to book her for another shoot! Thank you Samantha!

We have had three shoots with Samantha since my twins were born, a first when they were newborn, a second as they turned 1 and a third as they turned 3. I was blown away by Samantha’s initial approach and the care and attention she brought to the newborn shoot. As babies my twins were obviously settled and happy throughout the process and the shots show that. As the twins have gotten older, Samantha has changed the shoot format to reflect their development and we have had amazing, happy, family shots that reflect their growing cheeky personalities every time. After getting our shots to review, Samantha was really helpful in choosing images to print and so helpful and flexible with formats and presentation. My twins love looking at all our prints on the wall each morning and they make our house a home, reminding them on happy days. I could not recommend Samantha and her photography more highly. Her shots are like magic, capturing my little ones and making memories for us as they grow up.

I’ve had a maternity photoshoot with Sam. She was very friendly, professional and made me feel very comfortable during the photoshoot session. She helped me choose the perfect clothes and environment and I really enjoyed our session together. I love all the pictures that Sam took of me and promptly delivered. I can’t recommend Sam enough. Thank you so much, Sam!

Samantha took our newborn photos 5 years ago and we were so happy with her work that we asked her again for another newborn & sibling shoot this year, although we had moved out of London. Her style is exactly what we love, very natural and she has this amazing attention to detail which really makes a difference on the photos. She is also very experienced with photographing babies, takes the time needed and makes baby and us feel very comfortable while she's doing the shoot. And bonus - she's just a lovely person and absolute pleasure to talk to :)

H. P.

Samantha took some portraits and family photos with our 4 month old baby. We wanted photos that were natural and that captured real moments and Samantha immediately understood what we were after, the style and was brilliant at helping to capture this despite restrictions with COVID and the weather. She made us feel so comfortable and at ease, was brilliant at being flexible around our baby's schedule and needs for feeding and sleep, and was so helpful in pulling together the right elements to make a great frame. I couldn't recommend her enough. Thank you Samantha!

A. N.

Very happy with our newborn lifestyle photos! Samantha is completely professional and great at communicating. Lots of chat about what to expect from sessions and on the day she listens to her clients about what they want as well. Relaxed session and fast turnaround- highly recommend for your family photos! :)
