In an effort to make my educational presentations as dynamic and specific as possible, in an effort to normalize breastfeeding, in an effort to show best practices for alternative feeding methods (formula, bottle, tube feeding, supplemental nurser systems, etc.), in an effort to provide inspiration and support to families...I'm looking for photos and videos that I can use in my educational and marketing materials. I'd be SO very appreciative of any photos or videos you can share with me that I can use in making a meme, share on social media, include in a slideshow, a poster, on my website, marketing materials, etc.
If you are allowing me to us a photo of you/your baby/your partner/a photo you took...I need a release form completed. There's a link below that leads to a fillable form is for use by those willing to send photos/videos to Jeanette Mesite Frem for my use (see link for more details). You can also email photos to jeanette@babiesincommon.com as attachments after you complete the form below (orange link to form that is fillable online).
Click on the button below to open a fillable photo/video release form. See below for a list of photos I'm searching for...
Thank you sooo much!
Photos/Videos I'd love to have...
for use on my babiesincommon.com website (and any future websites I might create related to birth/breastfeeding/lactation/feeding/parenting), in presentations for any teaching I do (for professionals, parents, etc.), advertising and marketing, including social media. Your name will not be included (unless you want me to include it on the photo or with it). If you would like me to blur out a face or crop something, let me know.
