  2. this is just beautiful! It looks so modern...like it could have been taken in the 1960s or 70s. My little 3 month girl has started gazing up at me as I breast feed and having a little chat and giggle while on the breast. While it can be distracting while trying to get her fed it is so heart melting.

  4. Does anyone know where I could purchase a print of this amazing photo? I would love to have it in my home! Just beautiful -- makes me feel bittersweet, as my youngest is getting close to weaning.

  5. That's a super sweet photo. I love the way that the mama is looking at her baby - so adoring.
