🖤 August is National Breastfeeding Awareness Month. This year I want to celebrate by offering local mothers discounted breastfeeding photo sessions!
These sessions will be $40 for 30min. This time allows roughly 10-15 final images.
Sessions available are every Sunday and Monday of August; 12pm, 1pm, and 2pm.
Message me to claim your spot and discuss the fun stuff, like location and outfits!
This year I will be donating a portion of the proceeds to The Louisville Coalition for Black Maternal Health. The LCBMH is comprised of perinatal service providers and community organizers. Members include healthcare providers, midwives, nurses, doulas, lactation specialists, mental health practitioners, public health advocates and social justice organizers.
According to the CDC,
"Each year in the United States, about 700 people die during pregnancy or in the year after. Another 50,000 women each year experience severe pregnancy complications that can cause serious consequences for a woman’s health. Every pregnancy-related death is tragic, especially because two in three of them are preventable. Recognizing the warning signs and providing timely treatment and quality care can prevent many pregnancy-related deaths.
Black women are three times more likely to die from a pregnancy-related cause than white women. Multiple factors contribute to these disparities, such as variation in quality healthcare, underlying chronic conditions, structural racism, and implicit bias. Social determinants of health have historically prevented many people from racial and ethnic minority groups from having fair opportunities for economic, physical, and emotional health."
If the last year has taught us anything, it's that we all need to come together and use our individual talents and skills for the betterment of our community - and who needs our help more than mothers of color in an unfair system that's stacked against them? Book your session today and you'll not only be investing in several beautiful, precious moments for yourself, but also in your community. 🖤
