Iphone X Camera freezes or turns to black screen. I have tried everything including resetting phone.

Does anyone know how to fix this issue? I take a lot of photos for work. Recently, when I take a photo the screen will either freeze and go almost in slow motion until a clear picture shows up or the screen will turn black. It eventually returns to normal photo capabilities but will only take 1 - 2 photos before doing the same thing. Help.
