It’s no secret that I’m a keen photographer and a flower lover, and whenever I get a chance to combine both of these things, it makes me very happy indeed.
Whether I’m indoors or outdoors, I always try to include a floral element in my photography of my children – I think, or rather I hope, that floral elements have become a bit of an associated element in my photography by now, and I thought I’d share some ways to use flowers for child photography, for any other botanical lovers out there who want to add this element to their children’s photographs.
Baby milestone photos
Floral arrangements for baby milestone photos are a gorgeous idea and this is something which I began doing with Beau from his third month update onwards. These floral arrangements can be as elaborate or simple as you like and you can even match the colour of the flowers to baby’s outfit if you want to go all out.
Sink baths/bathtubs with flowers on the draining board/counter top/floating on the water
I love giving my baby a sink bath, I’m only sad I never did them with my first, and adding flowers to the water or placing a bunch on the draining board/counter top or even scattering them by the taps, can make for a lovely photo opportunity of baby’s bath time.
Another idea I love is getting a bath milk to turn the bath water white and placing flowers around baby in the bath. The bath milk will ensure that baby’s body is hidden from the camera and the colour of the flowers will really pop against the white.
These image's are beautiful, my garden is my go-to happy place, it's taken me 15yrs to pack it with flora and fauna your shots just make heart melt
