There are some photography sessions that feel like so much more than simply picking up my camera.

Photographing the 2026 World Breastfeeding Week event in Wichita was one of those experiences.

It was hot. Really hot.  But even with the Kansas heat, I walked away feeling incredibly grateful for the opportunity to be there, camera in hand, surrounded by so many beautiful mothers and their babies.

Celebrating the Beautiful Work of Motherhood

Breastfeeding is one of those parts of motherhood that can be both incredibly beautiful and incredibly hard.

There are long nights, tired mornings, cluster feeding, growth spurts, nursing in places you never imagined nursing, and figuring things out one day at a time.

And then there are the quiet moments.

The little hand resting on Mom’s chest.

The sleepy baby curled against her.

The way a mother instinctively looks down at her baby.

The smiles, the laughter, the connection.

Those are the moments I love documenting.

Being able to photograph mothers during this season of life is such an honor because I know how quickly it passes. Babies grow. Nursing journeys change. The tiny details that feel so ordinary today become the very things we wish we could remember perfectly years from now.

Why These Moments Matter

As a newborn and motherhood photographer in the Wichita area, I spend a lot of time thinking about how we preserve the fleeting seasons of motherhood.

We take photos of babies because they’re tiny.

We photograph milestones because they happen once.

But I think mothers deserve to be photographed, too.

Not just when everything is perfectly styled and everyone is looking at the camera.

I want to remember Mom as she really was in this season.

The way she held her baby.

The way she loved them.

The tired eyes and messy hair.

The little rolls and tiny fingers.

The connection between them.

Because someday, these mothers will look back at these photographs and realize just how beautiful that season really was.

Thank You for Letting Me Be There

To every mama I had the privilege of meeting during the 2026 World Breastfeeding Week celebration in Wichita — thank you.

Thank you for allowing me to photograph these moments.

Thank you for trusting me with your babies.

Thank you for letting me be a small part of a day celebrating something so meaningful.

And thank you for showing up, even when it was hot, because your presence helped make the day so special.

I left the event tired, sweaty, and very ready for some air conditioning… but also incredibly grateful.

Photography has given me the opportunity to meet so many amazing families over the years, and days like this remind me exactly why I love what I do.

I get to preserve motherhood.

I get to celebrate babies.

I get to serve women during some of the most important seasons of their lives.

And what a privilege that is.

I hope everyone had a wonderful World Breastfeeding Week

You are doing beautiful, important work — and you deserve to have photographs that remind you of just how beautiful this season was.
