Teri & Tate

An in home motherhood session to document the end of Teri's breastfeeding journey


I've had the privilege of documenting Teri through many points of her motherhood journey, including a similar motherhood session with her middle wild child Luca (You can view this one here). As Tate completes her beautiful family, the end of this breastfeeding journey is certainly a special time to capture.


As you will see however, little Tate, at only 8 months old, is VERY much on the move! So there wasn't much feeding going on. Instead he spent most of the morning showing off his cheeky little 3 (almost 4) toothed grin and crawling around trying to touch anything and everything. When he did finally stop for a moment to have a feed however, you can see the way he likes to play with his little feet while he looks up at his māmā. A much sweeter little quirk than his sisters pinching and scratching she used to do while feeding lol.


As always, what an honour it was to spend the time with these two to capture such a precious time x
