Audrey Adams is a naturally beautiful model I had the privilege of working with a year and a half ago. I was delighted to find out she was expecting!
I was so delighted when I caught the above image!
Also, this is a great example of how nude colored undies are beneficial to models. Audrey had no problem being nude, but I wanted to see how they would look. I also planned on using the photos for social media, and editing out any goodies for such a beautiful maternity photo would be difficult, and probably unattractive.
After our first maternity shoot, I wanted to do another one with Audrey. She is such a natural beauty that I wanted to do another shoot that showed her natural, feminine beauty. I knew she was getting ready to pop, so I didn't want to put her in any awkward situations. She is a dancer so any positions most would find awkward in a bathtub are nothing to her.
This was the first image after the lighting test. This shoot was inspired by Todd Powers' photos of model Berlin. I watched the placement of his softbox over the tub and tried to do a similar placement, but because Audrey's complexion is so much lighter than Berlin's, I had to redo the placement of the softbox so it complimented her skin tone and didn't blow her out.
Soon after, I added the milk and flowers. It was 2% milk. I used only about 1 cup of milk. The flowers are potpourri.

A before and after of a zoomed out shot. I added some color to her lips, lightened under her eyes, edited out any nipple/areola, brought some of the color from the top of the water to the bottom, and cleaned up the shower.
Her smile is priceless! I look forward to doing more maternity floral milk bath shoots!
