Top 3 Reasons to Get Breastfeeding Portraits | Boise Breastfeeding Photographer

There are many reasons why a mother might want to consider breastfeeding portraits. Find out our top 3 reasons to get Breastfeeding Portraits.

There are many reasons why a mother may want breastfeeding photos. Here are the top 3 reasons I know of:

  1. To capture a special moment in time: Breastfeeding is a unique and intimate bonding experience between a mother and her child. A mother may want to capture these special moments to look back on and remember the early days of her child's life.

  2. To document the breastfeeding journey: Breastfeeding can be a challenging journey, and a mother may want to document her progress and celebrate her accomplishments. Breastfeeding photos can be a way to visually document this journey and serve as a reminder of the mother's strength and resilience.

  3. To normalize and encourage breastfeeding: Breastfeeding is a natural and normal way to feed a baby and it has many benefits for both the mother and the child. Unfortunately, it is not always seen that way in society. By sharing breastfeeding photos, a mother may hope to help normalize breastfeeding and reduce the stigma surrounding it.

Overall, breastfeeding photos can be a beautiful and meaningful way for a mother to capture the special bond with her child, to celebrate her breastfeeding journey, and to help normalize and promote this natural and important aspect of motherhood.

In-home Studio-style Motherhood Portraits | Boise Motherhood Photographer

It was such a pleasure to travel over to Nampa, ID to capture breastfeeding and motherhood portraits of this stunning Mama and her adorable baby girl. Their matching red hair was so beautiful. I think it is safe to say that baby girl definitely looks like her mama! We did the photo session right in their living room with my traveling photo studio setup!

What is an in-home studio-style photography session?

In-home motherhood photography sessions are perfect for the busy working mom, the exhausted-sleep-deprived mom, the stay at home mom, the mom who doesn’t want to get everything ready for a trip out of the house, the mom who wants photos in the middle of winter but wants to stay warm and cozy, and really any mom! Don’t worry, your house does not have to be clean or perfect. I set up a backdrop and bring a light and we take simple, beautiful portraits that focus on nothing other than mother and baby and the special bond between the two.

What’s the difference between in-home studio-style portraits and lifestyle portraits?

Studio-style portraits utilize my traveling photo studio and have a classic, timeless look. Photos are taken against a plain backdrop with no furniture or props in the background. Lifestyle portraits, which may also be taken in your home, do not utilize any kind of studio backdrop. Lifestyle photos are taken with your furniture and home decor in the background. Studio-style portraits do not require any preparation of your home, other than clearing a 6'x6’ floor space in a room with natural light where I can set up the studio. Lifestyle photography may require a little more preparation of the home, including picking up all the clutter, and sometimes moving lamps or other pieces of furniture during the session. See some photos below for the difference.
