Michelle and Kai ~ Breastfeeding at Home in San Juan Capistrano, CA

I'm excited to post our first guest photographer submission. These photos are by Dawn Tacker of Eos Photography in San Diego, CA. Expect to see more from her soon, and if you are a photographer interested in submitting photos for consideration please contact me. ~ Katrina, redbeanphoto@gmail.com

"One of my greatest gifts as a mother has been the honor of nursing my two children. After twenty years as a career woman I started my family at age forty. I can honestly say, I didn't know what to expect with motherhood but I didn't realize I would love and appreciate the experience of breastfeeding as much as I do. I nursed my daughter, Ella until she was two and a half. My son, Kai was born when I was 45 years old. Today, he's two years old and still nursing. As a 47 year old mother I'm grateful that I'm able to nurse him and that we're both thriving physically and emotionally. I believe our bond gets stronger with every nursing session.

"Even when life is at its busiest the one thing I am always willing to make time for is nursing. I know this precious stage of Kai's development will one day come to an end just as a Season passes but I don't want to rush it." ~Michelle, mama to Kai, 13 months old at time of photos
