So this was my first attempt at the new trend of “milk bath” maternity sessions. I have to say, I was so impressed at the instant dreamy, light, and smooth backdrop the milk bath created! I photographed gorgeous mama-to-be and fellow photographer in Colorado Springs, Kate, in a bath full of milk. She has done many of these sessions before, and wanted to try it as a model. Win-win! I love trying new things.. and I have to admit, I was hesitant at first – a bath full of milk? But oh my word. It hides what you want to hide, and exposes just enough beautiful round belly and soft curves to make STUNNINGLY beautiful and intimate portraits. We went to her parents’ house in one of the historic old downtown Colorado Springs homes, which had an enormous old claw foot tub, and filled it up. We added a few wildflowers and leaves and greenery from around here (bonus – local foliage!)… and Kate just relaxed and we chatted as I clicked away. I just LOVE these. I’m definitely a milk bath convert. I cant wait to try this again! 🙂 Here are a few of my favorites from our session. How BEAUTIFUL is Kate!?? She is due in two weeks with a little girl and I’m so thrilled for her, and so happy we got to work together.
