Milk Bath Sessions

Milk Bath Sessions

These sessions are ideal for children who can sit unaided, ideally aged between 7-12 months and are a lovely alternative to a Sitter Session/Cake Smash.
I usually start the session by getting some gorgeous portraits of your little one to get them used to me and the studio, then I bring in the bath and set up with beautiful decor and let them have a little splash, so you get a good variety of images.
Milk Bath sessions are held in my cosy home studio in Barnsley, South Yorkshire.
If you are interested in booking a session please get in touch, it’s never too early to book as my diary often fills up quite far in advance.

  • If you require snacks/drinks during your session you must bring your own.

  • Sibling images will be done at either the start/end of the session due to restrictions so they don’t stay throughout the session.
  • Props only used that I can keep safe by washing and spraying.
  • 1 session a day to allow thorough cleaning in between each session.
  • All sessions will require help from the parent attending for posing etc so I am able to keep as much distance from you as possible.

What do I need to do in preparation?

If your child has naps, try to make sure they have had a nap prior to the session to ensure your child is bright and alert for the session. For Milk Bath sessions please bring a change of clothes and a towel. Baby wipes/tissues are always handy to bring too. If you would like your child to wear a particular outfit to be photographed in, please make sure they have this on ready for when you arrive.

 

What will happen on the shoot?

I would generally start with some portraits until they get used to me, the studio and what’s happening. Then we will switch to the bath part of the session.
I will provide everything that we need for the session. I always ask that a parent is on hand to help with positioning and handling the child. The amount of photos depends totally on the individual being photographed. As the session is done at my home studio, it will be very comfortable; you are welcome to bring your own refreshments. The studio will be marked out in order for us to keep socially distant.

 

What happens after?

Once the session is over, I will edit all the photos taken on the day usually within a 2-3 week period. I will then email you with a link to view the photos on a private online gallery for 30 days. If you have digitals included in your packages this is where you will choose which images you want, I will then make them available for you to download. The instructions will be included in the email on what to do. Additional products may be purchased at this time.
