To kick off WorldBreastfeedingWeek, here are 15 stunning photos that show that breastfeeding is worth celebrating.
Moutrie and Mason decided to hold a breastfeeding photography contest after feeling frustrated by their experiences with other photo competitions.
“Jennifer and I both submitted to a larger photography contest this year, and we were surprised that many of our breastfeeding entries were banned because they wanted the contest to be ‘family friendly,’” Moutrie told The Huffington Post, adding, “And while Facebook and Instagram have made great strides in allowing breastfeeding images on their platforms, many are still reported and removed.”
“Just as some breastfeeding mothers feel that they can’t nurse in public ― photographers who capture nursing mothers often have their images disqualified from contests due to the ‘nature’ of the shot,” Mason noted. “We wanted to create a space for these photographers to embrace the beauty of their images and be able to share them publicly in a space that they can be embraced.”Though Moutrie is a breastfeeding advocate, she doesn’t limit her photography to nursing images.
Ultimately both Mason and Moutrie aim to empower parents with the photography contest. “Jennifer and I hope that these images show women that breastfeeding is worth celebrating,” Moutrie explained, adding, “We hope that these images show women and men that breastfeeding is normal and practiced in many different communities, many different ways.”
