La Leche League Texas Area Conference 2014

My favorite conference-y stuff this year with La Leche League:

This amazing auction win, “The Womanly Art of Breastfeeding,” for which the awesome, can’t-be-outbid-for-anything Designated Dad fought pretty hard. The “Buy It Now” price? …priceless. Why? Because it’s an early copy signed by all seven original La Leche League founders, several of whom are no longer alive.

The speakers! Ah, I was in fangirl heaven!

This beautiful Spanish ceramic piece. I fell in love with the look of love between this mother and her baby. I mean, they’re ceramic and even the mother’s irises (which are just worn black paint specks) appear so blissfully mesmerized by her baby’s countenance that it’s impossible to not get enveloped by their eternally resin-cased little moment of love.

The sweet photo sessions with Sugarsnap Photography. I’ll admit… I was peepin’ on some of the mamas feeding their babies. How could I resist? Too many “awwww!” moments to just walk away. Check out more of photographer Julia’s work on her website and keep up with her recent shoots on her blog.
