My Fine Art of Motherhood series includes mothers from all over Southern California, with everyone from brand new moms to mothers nursing toddlers and tandem nursing mothers. I feel that breastfeeding should be celebrated and embraced year-round!
All of my life, I felt that my body was constantly betraying me. I struggled with body image problems, had various health issues. From the first moment when my milk came in, and my newborn son threw his head back and giggled with joy, I suddenly had a deep, great appreciation for what my body could actually be capable of doing.
In a museum, you see a painting of a mother breastfeeding a child and it is not shocking, it is beautiful. However somehow in our modern society, it has become somewhat taboo. I wanted my photo series to bring back the classic beauty of breastfeeding, and show there is nothing shocking or repulsive about this very special time of bonding between a mother and child.
