Keep Calm & Nurse On!

So I did something unusual- for me anyway. And something I never really thought I would do.

I breastfeed my daughters and truly (in my heart and thru my research) feel it is hands down best for baby (but my views on life & pregnancy/birth/baby years are for another post). But I'm more of a to each their own, and am absolutely very modest (for my own comfort) when breastfeeding in public (& even just at home). 

But I felt surprisingly drawn to participate when a local photographer put out a request for "models" for a series she is doing on breastfeeding.

I am currently tandem nursing my girls. My oldest is almost 3 (and has started weaning) and my youngest is almost 6 months (who knows how long she will nurse). It has been an incrediblely rewarding and bonding experience, I just had to jump at a chance to have it captured.

So, without further ado:
