Some of those stern faces in the photographs could be the child is not latching on properly. It’s a pain I couldn’t describe especially if your tender.
Breastfeeding is beautiful but to pose for a picture is great for posterity but hmmm I am just not sure how I feel about it in a formal setting with a stranger as a photographer. Looks a bit trendie to me.

It wasn't standard to smile for a photograph back then. It was very serious business.

Yes but some of those women look like they are in pain or at least not enjoying this. Some of those babies also look like they are not latching on properly.
One smiles with the eyes too, mothers and babies are often tired and spent unable to get a sparkle in the eye, I get that too.
Hey what’s your thoughts on these pictures, do you like them? I love the ones that are natural and relaxed, that one in the barn with the white veil is absolutely beautiful... just not sure on those formal photos...
Honestly I think am looking at it with a modern biased viewpoint...
