This gorgeous mama right here has become a great friend and peer since I moved down to Charlotte eighteen months ago. So I was honored when she asked me to capture her pregnancy with a beautiful milk bath session. I’ve done one milk bath session before, but it was with my girls and involved Froot Loops, so I was excited when Kira brought her vision to me. As luck would have it, our visions meshed perfectly—I loved the classic look she was going for and she was excited when I suggested we also spice things up a bit! Kira has since given birth to a beautiful little girl named Adelaide. I can’t wait to get her in a milk bath with her mama next! Congratulations Kira!!

    Beautiful photo, very artistic, I even took some time to realize what is captured here (in a good way). Lovely!

    This is a creative maternity photo idea. I’ve wondered what makes the bath seen in these types of photos a white color. Congrats on your new little girl!

    Thanks Katie! Yes, it’s regular ol’ milk! You can also use powdered milk, but I like the texture/consistency of regular milk better.

    What a neat idea for a photoshoot. I have never heard of this theme before – so unique and a lovely idea for a maternity photo.

    Thanks Marysa! It’s definitely not mainstream yet, but it’s getting more popular!
