Baby Milk Bath

[CherylL]

Grandson was in town for 2 1/2 days. My daughter wanted a milk bath photo set in a scene. She had about 10 photo ideas and 5 outfit changes for him. Of course a 5 month old has to nap and eat so we only got a few photos with the Christmas background set and this milk bath photo.

The background photo was from one of my nature walks. We set the tub up in the bathroom with the heat lamp turned on. The one thing we didn't plan on was that he was buoyant and had to add towels around his back. He was just learning to sit up. I think it would have been better to have him sit in his bumbo seat, but didn't have time to add that. The window of opportunity to get the photos was less than 5 minutes. He had enough.

The original images.

You know I would have had to construct a set, haul in dirt and plant flowers and vegetation to create an indoor wilderness

All kidding aside great concept, well executed. You just keep raising the bar!

Very nice!

thank you! I edited another take first and didn't like it. I almost gave up and gave this one a shot.

Thanks Dean! Yes she was very happy. She had all these Pinterest ideas saved and was scrolling her phone for me. The problem was only 2 1/2 days and she wanted photos with him in the Christmas set with outfit changes. Too much for the little guy. He had 5 photo sessions and I told her to pick ONE more before they went home.
