The milk bath trend has been around for a little while now in maternity portraiture. I think it is such a unique and elegant way to showcase an amazing time in a woman’s life. There are many known benefits to a milk bath, including moisturization of the skin and calming of redness, however I just think it looks amazing in pictures 🙂
If you are interested in a milk bath, please contact me! If you are a photographer, I do have a few tips for you:
- Use powdered milk or creamer, depending on the opacity and look you are going for. Dissolve separately in a pitcher and then add to the bath so there is no clumping
- Use silk flowers as real ones tend to sink.
- Play with the amount of water based on your client’s comfort level.
