A year from now, when I look back at this time, I will no longer be nursing Jocelyn. She’ll be two and a half by then and I’m sure will have been done for awhile. Right now, Jocelyn and I are doing that little dance of letting go and holding on. She’s so independent on…

I’m so excited to show you the rest of the photos from the precious session I did for this gorgeous family of five. We have known the Jain family for years ever since our son Miles started Kindermusik with their youngest daughter. It’s been so wonderful watching our children grow together and lean on each…

Betsy, you always do such an amazing job posing. It looks so natural, cozy, and loving. You should considering writing a guide. Just sayin’ 🙂
Nursing is such a magical bond between baby and mother. One of the best things I have ever done, I look back on it with such sweet memories.
So precious! Nursing is such a wonderfully, special time for Ezra and I too! I hope he will be willing to still nurse as he gains independence when he gets older. What a blessing!
Oh dear. I am already an emotional wreck this week as we approach the baby’s birthday (Friday!), and all this talk of Kindergarten and babies growing up just about did me in. Don’t you just love this season of life?
My biggest regret is not having tried for a third. Ask Annie! I sat on the fence too long and now I would be raising two generations. Ha!
So proud of both Betsy and John.. Jossy and Miles have been so blessed to have them as parents..I know they will be strong well balanced adults..GOD has blessed them…
i feel SO torn about having a third. i really want to, but my husband is very hesitant. i’m also the kind of person that is always SO excited for the next stage – my son turns 5 in may and will start kindergarten in the fall, will play on his first baseball team this summer, and i can’t wait for those things! but at the same time… my daughter is almost 2.5 and she is VERY MUCH not a baby anymore. she’ll still let me hold her and rock her before bed and i have been eating those moments up, just in case they’re the last ones.
Beautiful choice for a self portrait. Breast feeding makes for such tender moments.
Hi Betsy – I’ve been following your blog for some time now, but this happens to be my very first comment. I was really moved by your self portrait and thoughts on your growing girl. I never quite understood the big deal about nursing until my baby girl was born 7 weeks ago. Nursing was so challenging for me at first, but now I wouldn’t trade it for anything. I used to think pictures of women nursing were a little much, but now I get it. Thanks for sharing such an intimate moment with us. And love your work BTW : )
