Tampa Family Session at Hotel Haya
Year 1 Photos + Breastfeeding Celebration
This gorgeous Mama breastfeed her little boy for 15 glorious months.
we are so honored to have been asked to capture it, along with permission to share her breastfeeding journey with you.
Straight from her words, read on to see what this Experience felt like from a mother’s perspective…
Post partum is hard...and beautiful.
Finding the beauty in the hard parts is where I grew.
I worked all through my 3rd trimester, had a traumatizing, yet rewarding and all natural delivery, and have been nursing for 15 months now. I started back working exactly 53 days after birth and have been going nonstop ever since. I feel grateful for every moment, but it has not been easy. And the last thing on my mind was taking any time for myself. About 9 months post partum, this hit me like a ton of bricks and I had to change something. It may sound silly to some but I knew this photo shoot was one of my first steps.
I need to celebrate my accomplishments. I nursed my own company to success at the same time as nursing and nourishing my son and staying home with him every day running the business.
Instead of being exhausted by this, I NEEDED to celebrate it. I needed to feel good about it, and myself, and not run down by it. I kept seeing the perfect family photos with everyone smiling at the camera with perfectly done hair...I do love that, don't get me wrong, and I wanted that too, but that wasn't my state of mind, and wasn't powerful enough. And kids are difficult, let's be real, I wasn't ready to barter with our 11 month old the whole session to smile at the camera. I needed to feel empowered, proud, beautiful, maternal, and sexy, all at the same time. So I called Shannon.
