STL Family Photographer | S Family in Forest Park
January 2, 2020 By  Teresa With  0 Comment
In  Children  /  Families  /  Mini Sessions  /  Photography

I love when I get repeat clients, but I didn’t expect to get any repeats in STL. I shot Ellie’s first birthday last January (and I have yet to blog about it…if you haven’t seen Korean birthday traditions, you need to check it out!). While her grandparents are local to the DMV and her mom originally was, they’re a military family, and I forgot they were stationed near St. Louis when her mom reached out wanting to take part in my fall minis!

I ended up weaving them in on Sunday evening, which is why there’s a bit of a different look if you saw my blog on my morning sessions at Forest Park. I think the almost two age might be my favorite to photography. I love the exploring and how easy it is to get those natural smiles. There’s little inhibition. Life is fun, and it’s easy to see love.

Stay tuned to see a recap of Ellie’s first birthday on the year anniversary of that shoot. Also, don’t forget while I don’t live in STL, I love photographing there! To find out when I’ll be in STL next or to get on my calendar in the DMV area, e-mail me today at teresa@tcjdesign.com or send me a message through my contact page! I’d love to capture your family or love story!

    There is something I just love about the 2-4 age. I embrace the curiosity, the desire to be close to mom and dad, the silliness, the raw emotions. I know many photographers hate this age. Yes, it's hard to get them to sit still, but I love playing games and letting them explore. I can get them to just be. Now that my kids are older, it's harder to get them to just BE in front of the camera. I miss them at this age. So simple, beautiful, and fun.

"Photography is an art of observation. It has little to do with the things you see and everything to do with the way you see them"

    I'm taking my kids into DC to hit a museum and Ford's Theater with a friend today, and when I go near the National Mall, I still can't get over how lucky I am to live here. It doesn't get old seeing the monuments and history at our doorstep! 

I still have one more slot open for my August 20 National Mall mini sessions! It's at 7:20 a.m. Book by going here: https://tcjdesign.hbportal.co/schedule/60e34d525768d7003239e230
    This maternity session. 😍 I will be oversharing this.
    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! :) 🎄
