The Beauty of Breastfeeding
I find breastfeeding photography sessions to be an empowering way to celebrate motherhood. These beautiful images hopefully help reduce the stigma around the personal choice of breastfeeding.
This summer I sat with Gypsy and her son and captured some lifelong memories. I have had many people tell me they wish they had captured these moments from their past, and I often hear “if I had another baby I would do a nursing shoot.” I find breastfeeding photography sessions to be an empowering way to celebrate motherhood. These beautiful images hopefully help reduce the stigma around the personal choice of breastfeeding.
The natural outdoor lighting was perfect for this day, and baby was very cooperative. Breastfeeding photography sessions need to be done on the baby’s schedule, and I find I have the most luck right after the baby has napped and wakes up hungry. That way the baby doesn’t get too sleepy during the shoot.
I have done breastfeeding shoots in the studio, but most have been done in more natural settings that are more comfortable for mom and baby. For these last two shots we found an abandoned farmhouse down the road.
Contact me if you are in central Massachusetts and interested in a breastfeeding photoshoot.
Family Portraits during COVID-19
Schedule an outdoor family portrait session with Gentle Grace Photography while still keeping up social distancing
Family portraits are expanding as restrictions around COVID-19 are being reduced. Though in studio photo shoots are not advised due to close quarters, outdoor photo shoots in close proximity to your home are relatively safe. I have been practicing social distancing and take precautions including mask wearing, washing of hands, and cleaning of my gear. I live in Dudley and can easily travel to your home or a nearby park while still keeping up social distancing.
Outdoor family photo shoots and personal portraits are a favorite of mine, being able to capture a loving family group photo and also candid photos as everyone interacts. See below for my reduced rates.
My family portrait sessions are $150 and include at least 10 high resolution digital edits.
Personal portraits, including senior photos, are $75 and include at least 5 high resolution digital edits.
Maternity sessions are $150 and include the mother to be and immediate family.
