Maternity Session at Jefferson Patterson Park | Southern Maryland Maternity Photographer TCJ Design
January 17, 2022 By  Teresa With  0 Comment
In  Families

As a Southern Maryland maternity photographer, I was so excited to have a maternity session at Jefferson Patterson Park back at the end of November, and last Friday I was so excited to meet the cute little baby in that belly! We were so lucky to have perfect weather, awesome golden light, and amazing chemistry between this adorable couple.

I loved that C had two different outfits for VERY different vibes that worked with her location. Their session was everything I love about any session: a gorgeous backdrop and light, movement, and connection. I love getting to know my clients and hear their story. The journalist in me loves the storytelling that comes with documenting each couple, family, and wedding.

This adorable couple had connections to Calvert County, but they just moved back. Something to know about me that a lot of people don’t really know: I am really an outgoing introvert, and I hate large group activities. I don’t do well having to chat with people when I’m at a huge event with my husband’s work, but the storyteller and journalist in me loves loves loves meeting families and couples in small groups. There are so many times that I leave a session and think: I’d love to be friends with this couple or family. This couple was one of those! I just adored C and J!

So a few things you should know about maternity sessions. First, if you need help with styling, I have a styling service that will give you ideas! It’s complimentary when you book a session with me. Second, I like doing them at the beginning of the third trimester until about 35 weeks. From my own experience, I didn’t feel great after that, and I want to keep my moms-to-be safe so there’s that little sweet spot.

If you want to book a maternity session and newborn session, I’d love to talk. As your favorite Southern Maryland maternity photographer, I do offer a special discount when you book two sessions. 🙂 To book a session, first learn about my pricing on my Investment page. I’ve tweaked it to help you get some quality prints or albums of your session. I’m so excited about giving print credits. Then head over to my contact page. The best time to book for a maternity session or newborn session is at the halfway point of your pregnancy. I am booking up fast for 2022, so reach out to get on my calendar.

    My 7:20 am National Mall mini slot for August 20 is still available! Tag a friend you think might be interested. Details are in my most recent blog on www.tcjdesign.com.
    Families with older kids, please get your photos taken, too. Documenting all milestones are important… and your oldest going off to college is definitely one of them!
    My world. ❤️
    When our photographer canceled, I bought a tripod and just attempted photos myself. Not as much fun for me, but I got in the frame!
    If you are on my mailing list, tomorrow evening you will want to check your email! Access happens around 7 p.m. for tree farm minis! This year they will be held on November 5 with an inclement weather date of November 6. The link will go out to the general public not on my mailing list on Thursday morning at 9 a.m. These usually book fast, and pricing wise, they're my best deal of the year, so Merry Christmas a bit early! :) 🎄

    I've been fighting some website issues since Friday that haven't been resolved, but that doesn't mean that I can't advertise that my National Mall Minis are happening again on August 20! 

Sessions will be 25 minutes long and held near the Lincoln Monument. Exact location will be dependent on weather and lighting. Cost is $375 (and that includes the permit fee) and includes your choice of 10 digital images from the edited gallery. For $150 more, you can have all of the images from your gallery! (If we have bad weather, we will reschedule is Sunday, August 21.)

This also includes consultation prior to session, access to my styling service, session fee, online gallery of edited images, and print release for all images. Only six people are allowed for these sessions. Additional family members are $20 per person. (You can have 12 people if you book an hour.) 

Because of the permit fee, there is no returning client discount. Maryland sales tax will be added to the listed price. Clients can purchase prints in gallery store. To book, go here: https://tcjdesign.hbportal.co/schedule/60e34d525768d7003239e230

One slot has already been taken!
    I'm so bad at blogging and social media, but summer is finally slowing down for me to catch up on photography. This cutie's first birthday finally has a permanent place on my website. Check her out! https://tcjdesign.com/blog-southern-maryland-family-photographer/
    Happy belated Fourth of July! I’ve been especially quiet lately and stepped a bit back from taking sessions when the school year ended since my family went on vacation, my husband retired from the Air Force (yesterday), and I’ve been on call for jury duty. I’ll be taking very limited sessions this school year since I’ve had a bit of an increased load this school year, but I will be opening a few August dates. Tree farm sessions are still happening! More details on those soon! I promise I’m not gone for good, and I’ve been doing a lot of engagement sessions over at @tcjdesignweddings if you want to check them out!
