In the past, we have shown you some truly creative maternity photography ideas. Today, we want to feature a few photographers who have taken maternity photography to a whole new level.
Meet Adrienne of Gemini Visuals and Eden of Eden Bao Photography. They had a day to play and be creative with a client. The results are truly one-of-a-kind. Here is Eden Bao describing the Milky Dress Maternity Shoot.
As a maternity photographer based in Bothell, WA and serving the Seattle and Everett area, I am constantly seeking ways to improve my craft and advance my knowledge so I can serve my clients better. To do something different than the norm, think outside the box and learn a little more about myself along the way.
I am fascinated by Andrey Razoomovsky’s milk projects and Jaroslav Wieczorkiewics of Aurum Light‘s “Milky Pinups” and wanted to try the milky dress shoot for my maternity work. After research on the internet, I decided to take the plunge. I enlisted my colleague Adrienne of Gemini Visuals Creative Photography for collaboration (we share the photoshoot, the RAWs but process our own images) and a willing model-friend Elena who was 36 weeks pregnant. (Check out her maternity session on my blog!) Just in case this turns out to be an epic failure, I have a buddy to cry over spilt milk with—literally—and a friend that will forgive me for wasting her vacation day.
Thankfully the shoot turned out very well! Here’s what we did.
After some missed throws and messy splashes, Adrienne zeroed in on the technique, force and precision of her throws while I shot rapidfire.

PHOTOSHOP EDIT
Adrienne and I went back to our workspace with over 500 RAWs and started the painstaking work of piecing together the elements of the milk splashes to make a dress in Photoshop. Each image took about six hours to edit!
The cool thing about editing these milk dresses is that every dress is a surprise. You never know at the time of the shoot what you are going to get.
It was a fun project and I have the utmost respect for Jaroslav Wieczorkiewics’s amazing work.
Thank you to these two amazing photographers. To see the original, full blog post on this photo shoot, click HERE.
