Breastfeeding ~ Fairfax, VA.

I had the pleasure of documenting Alicia's breastfeeding journey the other day. We talked about our struggles and successes in breastfeeding. It was so nice to be able to chat with someone without any judgement.

I, personally, had many struggles with breastfeeding. My son had an undiagnosed lip tie until he was 1. By that point it was way too late because I had given up at 2 months. My son wasn't thriving so we supplemented and eventually switched all together. My son is now almost 3 and you'd never know by looking at him he struggled to eat in the beginning.

Breastfeeding sessions are some of my favorites because it's a simple way to capture a really short and special time in a mamas life. The bond between mother and child while nursing is indescribable. Even through all the struggle.
