Thank you for taking a moment to register to collaborate with the OFFICIAL Normalize Breastfeeding Tour!
I am so excited to have the opportunity to work with you! If you're a business I am looking forward to promoting your company and sharing your products with our followers. The Normalize Breastfeeding awareness photo project has deep personal meaning for me as I have experienced exclusively pumping for 8 weeks, severe postpartum depression and psychosis, supplementing with formula due to lack of sleep, and now I have reached my 2 year goal of breastfeeding my youngest. He is no longer traveling with me; I am now a pumping mama while on tour.

The #NBFtour Goodie Bag includes some special items from our donors that every nursing mama is sure to love. Partner gifts, exclusively offered for the full length portrait session, will be provided by companies that work exclusively alongside the campaign to provide our #NBFmamas with a "beautifully-bonded breastfeeding experience." From building your milk supply, to babywearing, to motherhood apparel, pampering, and even jewelry made from your own breast milk, we want to make you feel incredibly special for participating in such an important campaign.
You have received this special invitation to collaborate because we love your business services/products! Promotions of companies/products will occur on a first-come, first-serve basis. Please register promptly!

HOW TO COLLABORATE
PROMOTERS are simply helping us to spread the word about the #NBFtour through blogging, social media and direct email subscriptions.
DONORS can provide a one-time or a recurring donation to the campaign to use for promotional efforts, like photo session goodies, a giveaway, or a raffle. Although Normalize Breastfeeding is not a 501c3, you can also submit a donation of any amount directly to this tour location via Paypal to
normalizebfing@gmail.com - In the notes please specify that your donation is for "City #NBFtour"
PARTNERS offer their products to the campaign at Wholesale Pricing for a maximum of $99 payout for participants who purchase a Full Length Portrait Session. We choose to offer you an EXCLUSIVE partnership, which means we will not accept new partner applications from your competitors without your permission!
SPONSORS can pay participation fees for 1-3 participants or they can Sponsor a City. The group session is $99 per participant with a minimum of 10 participants required to open registration for a city in the US. Travel and Lodging expenses are also the responsibility of the sponsor. Contact us if you are interested in sponsoring an international tour location.
Thank you in advance for choosing to collaborate with us to help normalize breastfeeding here in the United States and beyond!

SCHOLARSHIP PROGRAM FOR PARTICIPANTS
Scholarships open after the location has been secured (initial payments have been received and travel has been booked). In an effort to photograph a diverse variation of normal regardless of financial boundaries, you can apply for a scholarship based on financial need. At that time, the scholarship application will be open to receive submissions for one week. After the applications have been reviewed, a maximum of 5 applicants will be selected to receive the "Normalize Breastfeeding" group photo scholarship award. The award includes participation and 1 group image:
scholarship.normalizebfing.comOur goal is to offer even more mothers and babies the opportunity to participate in this international tour. Everyday requests are sent to us asking to bring the #NBFtour to different countries. Some of which are very impoverished and unable to pay for this type of service. SPONSORING A CITY can help to take this campaign much father than its organic reach. Consider becoming a sponsor or teaming up with other businesses to do so together!
........
SESSION LOCATION
Session locations will be announced to the final participants two weeks prior to the session date. Mini sessions will be coupled with the group sessions, or with another mini session. Only private sessions will be at a completely separate location, although the private session does also include the group session.
