Mila

This is the definition of strength, love and pure raw beauty. Mom was diagnosed with stage three breast cancer halfway through her pregnancy with her baby. She had one breast removed and underwent chemotherapy whilst pregnant with her miracle baby. She was induced at 36 weeks in order to receive more treatment. Baby boy was born ready to prove to the world his strength he inherited from his strong mommy. He latched on to her remaining breast all on his own and the room erupted with so much emotions. Breastfeeding is such a sacred bond, and this one just makes my heart break and swell at the same time. I am beyond blessed to have met and gotten to know this woman and her family and so honoured that she asked me to document these precious moments.
