Kinsley’s 6 Month Milk Bath Portraits

Last year, Brittany reached out to me with an idea to do a 6-month photo session for her daughter since she didn’t have the chance to do newborn photos. She wanted to have pictures to cherish and help remember when Kinsley was still small. Before the session, Brittany sent me her Pinterest inspiration board and I knew it was going to be epic! We made her vision come to life with the sweetest floral milk bath for Kinsley!

I’d been itching to do a session in my back yard, where the woods, trees and perfect glowy light went along perfect with her vision. (It also gave us so much flexibility for the milk bath to be at my home!)

After the session, Brittany was telling me how when decorating Kinsley’s nursery, she thought she was going to need to get stock-photo prints of flowers to match the décor. But since she picked colors for their clothes and flowers that match Kinsely’s nursery, she could use their own pictures to decorate! It made the nursery decorations so much more meaningful and special to them. (In case you missed it, check out my post that talks about selecting what to wear for your session.)

I understand there’s a lot of uncertainty in the world today. If you are unable to have newborn pictures taken, I encourage you to use other milestones to help remember your little one while they’re small- half birthday, first holiday, just because. Babies don’t keep, they grow up so fast. A year has passed and this little one is now 18 months and getting ready to be a big sister!!

There’s just something about baby toes! So precious.
Note: Make sure to have an adult close-by when doing a milk bath for safety!

Thank you, Brittany and Kevin, for letting me capture these sweet memories of your little family!
