Breastfeeding Photoshoot: A Motherhood Milestone

A breastfeeding photoshoot can be an empowering, yet nostalgic experience for both mom and baby. As a Scottsdale Newborn Photographer, I get to see many moms at the beginning stages of feeding their babies. I hear their stories of easy success and also struggle. More often than known, breastfeeding can come as a struggle for many moms, myself included. Either way, it takes a lot of hard work and dedication to continually be the main food source for your baby. While you may be exhausted from late-night feeds and pumping sessions, you still feel an overwhelming amount of pride and selflessness knowing that you’re providing your baby with optimal nutrition.

So, why have a breastfeeding photoshoot?

I truly believe every milestone should be celebrated! No matter how big or small. Really, the choice may be personal to only you as there are many different reasons why you may want to have a breastfeeding photoshoot. But, here are a few:

• You are proud and want photos of this genuine connection.
• You want to have memories of the bond between you and your baby.
• Your breastfeeding journey was challenging and you want to celebrate your strength of making it this far.
• This is your last baby and you want to cherish this part of motherhood that you’ll no longer experience.
• You want to empower other moms by showing them through photographs the beauty of breastfeeding.
• You want to help “normalize” breastfeeding in our society with powerful photos.
