Samantha Ball
Samantha is a Senior Writer for Mother&Baby, having written for the brand since 2018. She's a mum of two and loves browsing for the best and current trending products for little ones and for cute seasonal outfits.
After having her first child while studying a degree in journalism at Sheffield Hallam University in 2017, Samantha graduated with a First Class honour in 2019 alongside her son, who joined her for many lectures and assessed magazine pitches.
Samantha and her husband then welcomed their daughter in 2021.
After freelancing as a content writer for Mother&Baby from 2018 to 2020, Samantha decided to explore other creative work and began freelancing as a newborn photographer and worked as an Ads Manager, running Facebook (META) and Instagram campaigns for small businesses that specialised in parent and baby products.
During her maternity leave, Samantha decided to freelance as a showbiz writer for the Daily Star and missed the writing lifestyle.
At the end of her maternity, she decided she wanted to get back into writing and joined the Family Life team at Bauer, and now writes for Mother&Baby and Yours.
