Early in 1995, Michelle and Baby PhoebeJane, the original owner of the Natural Baby Catalog ran my photo entitled Michelle and Baby Phoebe on the cover of their catalog. This was quite a coup for a struggling freelance photographer trying to make her mark. Almost immediately, I began to receive calls from all over the United States. Lactation consultants, pump stations, doctors offices were just a few of those wanting a copy of this print. Many werent just satisfied with one-they wanted more of these types of images. And not just prints, they wanted cards and posters as well With the long standing desire to work for myself at home, and the popularity of this photo, the idea for a catalog was born. I was a great catalog shopper, pretty good with a theme, and just crazy enough to actually make it happen. Most importantly though, I had a passion, an unending enthusiasm for breastfeeding advocacy. Motherhood had so profoundly touched my life that it affected my art. I just had to spread the word.
