Breastfeeding Photographic Journey

I am excited to announce that I’m going to be working on a project to help support, promote and demonstrate Breastfeeding. As a mother of five, all who I breastfed, I feel that it is important to help women succeed and get past the “booby traps” of nursing no matter how she accomplishes this goal.

I am looking for breastfeeding mothers who exclusively breastfeed, pump and bottle feed, use a supplemental nursing system or any combination to breastfed their child. All breastfeeding sessions will include a free 8x10 or 5x7 print of their favorite image. I would also like to collect your story at the time of the session so that I can feature your journey. I know that all journeys are not created equal, and it’s important to show that to future moms and current moms.

Here are the details; we can do a formal, fancy session, or just an everyday style session. Formal sessions can be done in studio or on location. Everyday sessions will most likely be on location, unless you want to hang out at my house to feed your little one. We can meet pretty much anywhere to create your images. Each mother will need to sign a model/media release form, so that I can use your story and images.

Talk to your friends; pass this along to breastfeeding mothers that you know. I’m so excited about the journey and can hardly wait to share the images we create and the stories of nursing mothers. If you do not want to share your story that’s fine too, we’ll let the images speak for themselves. Images will be available to purchase, but not required.

My end goal is to one day create a breastfeeding book with images and stories of mothers and babies.  I also think that a gallery showing would be a great way to show support and promote the project.  I know that will take a while to complete but with your help we can make it happen.

To schedule your session please give me at call at 214-455-5736 or drop by the website www.sevenarchesphotography.com and send me an e-mail.

Thank you so much for your support on this photographic journey!
