No this isn’t actually a tub splash image – well it kind of is as Pierce did enjoy a good splash but it had a different meaning for this family! Celebrating their breast feeding journey with a milk bath…
The day before their session, the mum had asked me if I’d ever done a milk bath before as she was keen to create something that marked their breast feeding journey together. I have done a milk bath but only as an alternative to a tub splash so I was delighted to take on the challenge here. Pierce is only eight months old here but the perspex bath I have is quite small so we thought we’d go ahead with it at his second Joey Club session in case he got too big to fit in by the time his traditional tub splash photo shoot rolled around at one year old.
So his mum brought along some oranges for a pop of colour (although you could accessorise it with pretty much anything you could think of – I think flowers would also look great) and some frozen breast milk and we set about creating the images. Pierce was a big fan of the water and had a grand time posing and splashing and creating some fabulous fun images with a deeper meaning for his family – a great way to celebrate and commemorate!
Add a Splash of Softness with a Milk Bath Photo
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.
