I know of one hospital using this company.  It has nothing to do with breastfeeding except the occasional interruption at a feeding time.  For the most part, the photographers try to be respectful of the infant's needs and spend a lot of time "waiting" to go back to the room after a feeding for a photo session.  That said, I was once browsing their mass produced, pre-printed literature and became appalled at the horrible, non-breastfeeding friendly information it contained (in the midst of various commercial advertising - of which, at least none was for formula).  The nurse manager had them stop distributing that particular brochure after my complaint.  I would advise keeping a watchful eye on what they hand out.  Otherwise, the employees are not medical care providers and do not engage in advising or teaching clients.  They are contracted for the lone purpose of photographing infants/families together in the mother's room, as desired and consented to.
