We were super excited to have a shoot with Tata Garcia-Long this year. She was Elin's very first model 6 years ago, when she was just newly-engaged. Since then, we've had 2 or 3 photo shoots with her (maternity shoots included), and we're happy that she always finds time for Elin. Can we also mention that she hasn't changed in 6 years - she's as beautiful as ever.
If there was a definition of "supermom" in the dictionary, we're sure the photo beside it would be hers! Tata is a full-time mom of 3 young and adorable girls - Kaliya, 5 years old; Kaire, 3 years old; and Koko, 1 year old. She's also wife to Kirk and they currently live abroad. Luckily, they were all able to join our shoot last June. We had a great time with them and love how the photos turned out! We can't stress enough how cute this family is. Enjoy!
Tata in our Rachel top:
What is your go-to pregnancy style?
"I love comfortable fabrics, solid colored outfits that i can repeat. A simple top thats a bit longer than my hips and leggings, as well as a nice presko dress. :)"
Tata in our Penny dress:
Wearing our Parker dress:
How did you prepare your daughters for a new sibling?
"By teaching them how to be my helper so that when the baby comes, she can also help me get certain things I need. Also by being kind and gentle to other kids in our community so they know how to treat their younger silbing/s."
Tata is wearing our Danica dress:
How did your birth stories differ from each other?
"The first two were pretty similar, but the third was my biggest baby and I pushed the longest with her and it was definitely not the easiest."
Tata in our Avery maxi dress:
Any advice you can share with moms who are pregnant for the first time?
"To embrace pregnancy. :) If things are a bit harder than you imagined, to not be afraid to ask for help because having the right support will make your journey a whole lot better."
Wearing our Antonia dress:
How do you manage being a mom to 3 young children?
"My husband is a super great dad! For as long as I focus on the baby, he takes care of the older kids. When I'm preparing dinner, he has all of them. ;) That helps me heaps!
Tata in our Sorel top:
What's your idea of "self-care"?
"Taking time alone and having a massage or going to the salon!"
Tata in our Mia top:
What's the best thing about being a mom?
"That being a Mom is a HUGE BLESSING and when you see your children happy and excited about the simple things in life. They are my constant reminders to take things lightly. :)"
