You did and awesome job, great talent 😍 *Also grab a strainer to pick up the left over pedals/leaves. I do that when I grab all the cucumber out of my baths it helps 🤗

hi Ksenia, came back again to this video. Its SOOO helpful! I loved all the tips you gave and especially at the end when you go over physical challenges to expect as well as logistic challenges with time management. This is by far the BEST milk bath tutorial video on youtube. GREAT job! Watching the rest of your vids now.

I am just starting my business and want to do a milk bath!! I have watched a lot of tutorials and you explain everything so well!! Your model was gorgeous and the flowers and the milk bath was amazing!! You are the best!! How much do you charge for a milk bath photo shoot?? Thanks for this tutorial!!! I’m sure to watch more!!❤️❤️

[@kseniaprophoto]

Thank you! I'm glad it was useful! Whatever you charge for your sessions, make sure to add another $100+ for the Milkbath setup (I spend $40-$70 on average on flowers+milk and make sure your time cleaning is covered). If you're not sure what to charge for your photography I'll have some new videos coming up this year where we'll talk about the business of photography, and I also have an online course that explains how to make sure you charge enough and set your prices right

[@afnanasalam8441]

Beautiful model.. Looks like a fairy🧚‍♀️

[@kseniaprophoto]

She does look whimsical especially with this hair 🤩

[@phanterleo]

What colour flower would you recommend for ginger hair? Love how the colours came together in this shoot! She looks beautiful. And you explained do well and detailed. Thank you 🙏

[@kseniaprophoto]

Try anything like cream, white, yellow/orange or bright reds, will look beautiful. I recently love just neutral cream colors

[@lb3733]

I love how the pictures turned out and these tips are so useful! I only have one question; will the milk powder damage the drain? Because I am going to shoot my sister’s first pregnancy at my internship (hotel) and I don’t want to damage the bathtub. 😊

[@kseniaprophoto]

No I've done it a million times. The powder dissolves in the water, it's like baby formula basically, just make sure it's dissolved and doesn't form any clusters. If you use flowers make sure to take them out before draining the water or use a strainer

[@AbuInsights]

Thank you for the great video with tips and tricks. Are you using an on-camera flash, or remote one?

[@kseniaprophoto]

I used an off camera flash (remotely triggered), but you can use an on camera flash, just need to bounce it off of the ceiling or wall properly. Off camera flash will give you more consistent and predictable light though, as the flash stays in the same place, while you're moving around

[@enricomarconi8358]

Hi Ksenia, great video. A quick question: how do you deal with moisture and lenses / camera bodies? Is there the risk of getting moisture inside the lens/camera ?? How to work around that? Are you keeping the water temperature to lukewarm rather than hot?

[@kseniaprophoto]

Hi! Unless you drop the camera in the water, there's no risk of getting moisture inside. Cameras are sealed, I'm not underwater, I side shower or in a steam room )) I make the water temperature warmer at first and then it gets a bit cooler, sometimes I'd add some more hot water if needed. But the shoot is over in appx 30 min, because there's only so many poses you can do in the tub. Just communicate with your client and keep checking on the water temperature

[@romandavis7278]

Yes!! I love the pictures and the model, but in my opinion I think there needs to be more flowers everywhere, I see to much of the yellowish color form the tile in the back, but over all I think they turned out good😘

[@kseniaprophoto]

I agree, I didn't get enough flowers, usually I get more greenery to cover the tub. This was more if a demo shoot for the video tutorial

[@Soley_Nasyonal_Shorts]

I would live to do this Ksenia. Well done. What stops me is i dont know how to make it safe. Is it safe to bathe in all kind of milk?

[@kseniaprophoto]

If it's safe to drink it I'd say it's pretty safe to bathe in it ))) it's actually good for softening the skin

I did not notice a change.....do you have a preference? :) The shots were all gorgeous!

Thank you for watching! One of the dresses has a slit in the front, so that you can show the baby bump. You'll see both dresses in the video, but they do look very similar
