A few months ago on my facebook fan page I had posted a newborn images with her mother in black and white and said that one day I would love to photograph a styled newborn session in nothing but a classic black and white style.  I was thrilled when my return maternity family session messaged me and said their little boy Rowan was here and that they would love to do the a session in Black and white. I’ve got a great love of black and white photography and being able to add the cute and cuddliness of a newborn baby I’m in heaven.

I think that comes from being a formally trained photographer and back in the dark room days of developing my own film and shooting nothing but black and whites.  I’ve got boxes full of old negatives, prints, contact sheets and past projects in storage somewhere.  The other day I pulled these film cartridges out of an old camera bag and found one still with undeveloped unprocessed film on it from the bulk film loading day where I purchased my film in 1000shot rolls and wound it onto film cartridges.

Cameras have came a long way in just the 13 some odd years since I used my first film camera the Pentax K1000. Today I shoot with a digital Canon 5D Mark iii camera and a variety of lenses. This image below was shot with a 50mm lens, my still all time favorite lens. So for this session I wanted to try something different, I photographed the entire session in monochromatic.
