Yaky Di Roma, a photographer from Florida, put a playful twist on breastfeeding when she dressed up as Maleficent in a photo shoot [1] with her 3-year-old son, Hans.
The photographer decided to get creative after getting some heat from her followers on Instagram [2]. "I got many comments from my followers telling me I look like a villain, so I decided to go with it and create a self-portrait using smoke bombs," Di Roma told POPSUGAR.
So when it came time to pick a character to impersonate, she went with Sleeping Beauty's nemesis. "I wanted to dress up as Maleficent so badly because I wanted to show that even the most evil creatures would do anything for their little ones," she said. The photographer, who primarily shoots breastfeeding [3] portraits, also wanted to "show breastfeeding as a normal thing" after some of her work got deleted from Instagram for being too racy. Talk about a twist, right?!
