Milk bath baby

While cake smashes are pretty popular, not all families are inclined to do them. While I enjoy them and think they are super cute,  I understand where they come from. They are messy sessions and then there is the sugar as well. And some babies just don't like cake. Some parents find other food items to use instead. Watermelon is a big one (I like this option more for second birthdays) I have also seen spaghetti, pancakes, donuts, tacos, and ice cream as alternatives to cake. But there other options as well.
This one is personal favorite of mine and one that doesn't happen all too often. So when moms suggest it, I get very excited about it! Milk bath baby sessions.
Not only are they great for first year celebrations but also for mile stone sitter sessions like 6 months.
Milk baths create a stunning visual. A small tub is filled with milk. Some photographer use carton of milk or powder milk. Some actually use mothers breast milk. I use a milk powder as it is hypoallergenic. A variety of florals are added to the bath. 

For this little guys session I used mostly ferns and others greenery.  He loved his bath and tried to taste those plants lol. We started with some photos without the bath at first. Little guy was such a cutie! A nice simple session with a stunning visual.

Here some photos from my most recent milk bath.

Frequently Asked Questions about Boudoir.

Boudoir.  It's exciting It's inciting And it's confusing and intimating all at the same time!  If you are thinking about a boudoir I'm sure you have some pretty big questions on the top of your head. That's fine. I mean it's not everyday you are standing half naked in front of a perfect stranger.  So you have questions... I've got answers. Q: Boudoir. Pornography. What’s the difference? A: Well for starters Boudoir is suggestive, while porn is... well you know. And you don’t have to be complete nude or revel anything at all when it comes to boudoir photographs. One of the most important things about being sexy is being confident. If you feel that way wearing jeans, by all means, wear jeans! Or a button down men’s dress shirt. Sure why not? Classy, suggestive, and flirty. Q: Can you Photoshop my images? A: If you would like to have say, stretch marks, a scar, that unwanted, embarrassing tattoo from when you were 16...

Bohemian Beach Goddess

A while back, when the weather was just starting to get nice again I did a shoot with the beautiful Malissa Otting. Malissa came to me with this great idea of bohemian beach style photo session. Of course I was on board. No normally I do shoots with MUA Griffin Shields, however the date and time of this shoot Griffin was unavailable so I worked with up and coming mua Sarah Stechyshyn. When I was first starting out Sarah was one of my very first models. And that is one thing I love about my job, the wonderful people you and the long term friendships you create along the way. We meet Malissa at her apartment for hair, make up and wardrobe. The beach we shot at was just a ways down the street from there. The beach itself was pretty cool. It was quiet with a small run off that trailed into the water. The remains of what were once board walks and boating docks protruded from the sand and water, parts of the wood had small plants growing from them. The sand was lined with trees and shrubs....

Choosing Your Location, Fall Addition

It's that time of year again where the weather changes and vibrant hues surround us. So looking for a place to take photos may be different than a place in the summer or winter that you enjoyed. Choosing a location that best suits you and your comfort level is important. It is good to pick somewhere that will make your session memorable and pleasing for you. Find a place that fits well with your personality and gets you to enjoy your experience. Some of my favorite places in the Fall time are Morningstar Mill, Malcolmson Eco Park both in St Catharines. As well as Firemans Park in Niagara Falls, McFarland House in Niagara on the Lake, and Balls Falls in Vineland.  Morningstar Mills is a heritage site located at Decew Falls. This site features a beautiful working mill rebuilt in 1872 and is surrounded with trees and water. It is a good naturalistic place to go, especially in the fall time when there are numerous colors all around you and a beautifully built mill overlooking some wate...
