Black and White Photos

Every time I edit a gallery I think "Maybe this will be the time to add some in black and white"...and then I don't because I love the colour so much. It is rare that I change a picture to black and white because I feel like the photo loses something when it loses the colour. Some of you may have noticed that I've transitioned to a minimalist style of newborn photography. I found that I LOVE white on white for newborns because it makes you actually *see* the newborn. Don't get me wrong, I love a good prop shot, but I love that the minimalist style focuses on the baby.

I got on a bit of a tangent there, but the point is that once I started photographing the minimalist style of newborn, I felt that those shots really could be converted to black and white without losing any of their impact. And so I present to you, the black and white images of the adorable Norah (best viewed full screen by clicking on the image to make it larger).

I'd love to hear your thoughts on black and white photos!
