TCJ Design Candid Family Photographer | Clickin Moms Feature

January 6, 2019

It is not every day I wake up to an email from Clickin Moms that an image you submitted got a pretty big recognition. But mid December, I got that just that. On a whim, I submitted an image from an extended friends that are family session to the month Clickin Moms contest. I never in a million years expected my image to make the top 37 images on their blog.

So far my photography has been recognized twice for something to do with “joy”. A photo of my son’s first birthday made it into the top 100 of Shoot and Share’s contest for “Share Joy”. And now this image was recognized for the joy of friendship.

I’m not going to lie; I love that my unposed, candid, fun, playful images are the ones that are getting big time recognition from prominent photography groups. It helps me to know that I have finally found my niche.

I’m now booking sessions for April 2018, so if you want a slot, let me know! Let’s try to recreate this magic for your family. E-mail me at teresa@tcjdesign.com or go to my contact page and shoot me a message.

WEDDING & PORTRAIT PHOTOGRAPHY FOR PEOPLE WHO want their story told

Hi. I’m Teresa. While photography is a part-time job for me, documenting your stories doesn’t ever get treated like it’s not important. My full-time gig is teaching high school English, journalism, and photography at an all-boys’ school in Washington, DC. Journalism is my favorite subject to teach because it is as much about writing as it is about the art of observing the world, and I became a photographer because of my experiences in photojournalism.

You’ll see in galleries with my families, children, newborns, or weddings, my style definitely is more about documenting connection and trying to create real moments. I love a good portrait, but my heart is happiest when I get real smiles from people loving on and playing with each other.
