“Don’t focus on how far you have to go, celebrate how far you’ve come!”
When a movement crosses boarder and reaches smaller communities around the world to join a global effort,
it means that you are in the right path of impacting the lives of many.
This past May we expanded our reach to help and encourage women in all parts of the world. Through our Photography Community & Outreach Program professionals from an array of countries have joined our community of artists who volunteer their time to gift mothers a breastfeeding photo session in the global movement to #normalizebreastfeeding.
Launching our international photography community has been a very rewarding experience. We are happy to showcase our very first Mar del Plata’s Breastfeeding World Photo Session that took place in Argentina this past Spring.
Naturalidad Maternal
Thirteen mothers and fifteen little ones came together to be a part of our first Mar del Plata photo production: Naturalidad Maternal (natural motherhood). The session itself took place in a beautiful iconic location of this gorgeous city: Villa Victoria. For our first event in Argentina we united forces with La Leche League – Mar del Plata and had a phenomenal lactation specialist, Sandra Ramírez, answering questions for all the participants.
Special Thanks
A group of talented makeup artists volunteered their time as well to gift these wonderful mommas a complete makeover before their photo session. Thank you: Cristina Ponzini, Verónica Bozzi, Mariela Valle, Mariana Bella Fontenla and Lorena Ferrari for being a part of this change.
We have been very lucky to be able to partner with amazing women-owned companies that have provided the support we’ve needed to put these smaller events together. Following our 2018 Big Latch On Platinum Sponsor: Kindred Bravely’s initiative, #bravemotherhood, we have aimed to produce outstanding sessions were strong and powerful mothers unite in efforts of normalizing breastfeeding and making their voice heard in a beautiful way.
