Good Morning! A couple of weeks ago I decided to take some “Milk Bath” maternity photos. I’ve seen these kind of pictures floating around the internet for years and honestly think it’s kinda weird hahah. But, I can also admit I think it’s pretty. I wasn’t sure I really wanted these pictures done but when hubby came home with flowers for Valentines Day I thought why not, I don’t want to regret it later. However, those roses died before I felt like doing the shoot haha. But then when we went to Costco, they had so many beautiful flowers and it just felt like the roses were calling me:)
I think it turned out quite cute considering they were taken in a regular unfancy tub in an apartment 
My hubby did a good job.
So what’s the deal with the milk bath? Well, according to google, they say that Cleopatra used to bathe in donkey milk and scattered rose pedals over it and that’s how she got her beautiful skin. I also read that the milk in the maternity photos symbolizes the milk that nourishes the baby and the hard work that the mother has to put in to breastfeed her little one. Who knows if any of this is true, I think people mostly just like how beautiful the flower pedals are next to their bump and the white creates a nice cleaner look for the photo.
