I agree with Sharon's experience with Our 365.  Nice people and they
basically try to stay out of the way of breastfeeding, but I, too, had my
manager stop the distribution of their awful brochures.  For some odd reason
they started handing out nursing pads, also, but eventually they just gave
them to me and we used them in our shop for moms trying on bras.

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.
