Celebrating Black Breastfeeding Week 2024

Every year for Black Breastfeeding Week, we host our Village Family & Prenatal Photoshoot. This year, our theme is “Wakanda Forever”. Our annual photoshoot provides free visuals aimed to capture your family through the lens of our experienced photographers.

With each click, families will create fond memories that is worth preserving. Breastfeeding is a natural process that provides a baby with ideal nutrition and supports growth and development. Breast milk contains antibodies that help protect a baby from illness and infection, and it can also help reduce the risk of certain diseases for both the baby and the mother.

Get styled by our featured clothing vendor…

Participants will have the option to freely choose from an array of handcrafted clothing & accessories to enhance one’s style for this one of kind photoshoot.
