“Becoming a goddess is what life felt like doing a shoot with Tess!
So beautifully looked after, checked in regularly to see how I felt, if I need warmth or water etc, she is very attentive to keeping you feeling safe and loved and this is paramount when you are naked in the wild.
Then there is the joy and giggle creating, WOW such a fun adventure!
ANNNNNNND then there is the photos! I feel like I embodied my divine self, finally!
Thanks”

“ I have been sitting with words for a testimonial I will send some through so soon. Seriously though thank you so much. The shoot was fucking fun and illuminating. And so much uncovered. It was the perfect timing and weaving of so many things I have been working on deep within myself. And mostly I have no words. Thank you so much for this fucking magic.”
Tess - mate that’s it that’s the testimonial thank you

Have you ever unexpectedly said yes to something simply because it felt right? My YES came from a deep desire to reconnect with my body - a body that had been poked, prodded and viewed by countless strangers during the birth of my first child. The process of hospital birth for me was far from private or intimate, and in the aftermath I felt a disconnect between the body that had carried me through such a profound experience and the newfound strength that motherhood had awakened within me. It was an opportunity to do something just for me. To acknowledge my spirit and honour this new chapter in my life.
The experience was like medicine. You have an aura of ease and comfort, free from judgement or expectation. And as you began to shoot, I felt an empowering sense of liberation, coupled with a peaceful calm that comes from embracing vulnerability. My body softened, realising that this time, its nakedness was joyfully consensual.
Throughout this photoshoot, I was able to honour my body - for who she used to be, what she has accomplished, and for the transformation she has undergone. It was a beautiful opportunity to fully acknowledge the journey of my body into motherhood, with my 4-month-old son in my arms, breastfeeding and bonding in the most natural, intimate way.
Thank you for providing space and safety for this experience to unfold and for witnessing and capturing such pure and powerful moment in my journey.
