a floral set up for a milk bath for a little girl's first birthday photo shoot

It’s a strange thing in the studio but props and accessories tend to come in runs. I hadn’t done a milk bath in ages until a few weeks ago and all of a sudden, lots of people are requesting it.

It’s easy to see why. It does sound a little bit strange when you see it written down but in practice, it’s a very pretty option.  It works with lots of different accessory set options – in this case, it’s featured with the Floral Love set which gives it a very cute and girly vibe but it works with toys, fruit, greenery, you name it…

All you need to do in addition to a ‘normal’ tub splash is bring along a little bit of milk – the type of milk is totally your choice. Some people like to use breast milk to celebrate a breast feeding journey or you can use good old fashioned blue top, whatever works for you. You only need a splash to colour the water…

If you’re looking for something a little bit different, a milk bath photo shoot could be just the thing. It’s a beautiful and gentle way to add variety to your baby’s photo session—often chosen for first birthday shoots, but just as perfect for any little one who can sit confidently. Whether you use breast milk to mark a special journey or just love the creamy, dreamy look it creates, it’s a sweet and playful way to celebrate your baby.
