Maternity session with flowers and a milk bath — what it is like in my studio

A fragrant bath in a tub with milk and flowers — a beautiful option for both maternity and newborn sessions, for girls and boys.

Maternity session with flowers and a milk bath — what it is like in my studio

A maternity session with flowers is the set-up you ask me about most often. Flowers beautifully highlight the femininity and delicacy of this special time. In my studio in Warsaw’s Gocław district we can combine them with a milk bath, a flower frame or a swing.

Flowers in the studio all year round

In my maternity photography studio it is spring all year round. I have whole shelves of high-quality artificial flowers, so even in winter we can conjure up a summer meadow. In season, though, I use fresh flowers. If you have favourites of your own, we can include them. Fresh flowers are not included in the cost of the session, but if you are going to make a dream come true, you might as well do it properly.

Maternity session with flowers: frame and swing

Besides classic shots among the flowers, I also have a flower frame and a swing covered in flowers. This means a single session gives you several different scenes. What is more, dresses and fabrics for the session are waiting for you in the studio wardrobe in sizes S–XXL.

What is a milk and flower bath like?

The studio has a magical corner with a beautiful oval bathtub. Before the session I heat the bathroom well, and I add flowers and fruit to the bath, so it gives off a delicate scent. It is warm, pleasant and safe. A bath like this is a lovely way to end the session, because besides the photos you also get a moment of spa and relaxation.

A milk bath with your newborn too

A milk and flower session is not limited to maternity photos. We also do it with a newborn. The sound of running water, the warmth and mum’s closeness make little ones sleep especially peacefully. After the bath I help move the baby onto the changing table and wrap them in a towel. It is a great option for both girls and boys.
