Black and white photography and postpartum have something in common. 🖤🤍
When you strip away the colour from a photograph, what’s left is texture, shadow, and the tiniest details… like the curve of a cheek, a crooked ear, a flake of skin, tiny nails and fragile lashes.
Without the vibrance of colour, the emotion rises to the surface.
The raw. The truth.
And in so many ways, it feels like postpartum.
When everything flashy falls away and you’re left with the realness,
the exhaustion, the tenderness, the awe, the love that lives deep in your bones.
Unfiltered. Honest. Profound.
These monochrome shots from my most recent newborn session feel like that kind of truth.
Black and white just pulls postpartum photos front and centre, brings the emotion to the surface and keeps our eye locked on the details that matter most.
The ones that are fleeting, but that we beautifully can freeze in time for postpartum mamas who are watching their babies grow and change as minutes tick by. 🤍🖤
