Fall 2025 Mini Sessions are open!
Book your fall 2025 mini session today! These slots are some of my final openings for 2025! Book today if you want a session!
I’m keeping this short and sweet so you can grab your spot before they’re gone—because once they’re booked, that’s it. I have lots of options this year for minis: that iconic National Mall (construction will determine if it’s Reflecting Pool or Thomas Jefferson area), my annual tree farm minis in Friendship, Maryland are in their EIGHTH year, if you can believe that, and the fall vibes are coming back, too…those will be in Dunkirk area.
I’m adding two new events, too! I’ll have limited minis in Old Town Alexandria and in downtown Annapolis this year. Spots are very limited for these–just four for each event!
If you have a kiddo who has more time and needs to warm up or you need a session at a different time, I can weave in a few traditional sessions if you reach out soon. Those are going to be pretty limited, so please don’t wait to reach out. Newborn sessions should be booked during second trimester if possible and will be on a Saturday or Sunday early afternoon. I’m happy to do an in-home session for anyone late November or early December, too! Reach out if you would like something different! It’s a great way to document yourselves in the space you are most comfortable and you can even weave in a holiday tradition!
If you encounter any issues or have questions, please don’t hesitate to reach out. I’m happy to help before you book.
Can’t wait to see you this fall! Follow me at @tcjdphotos on Instagram and @tcjdesignweddings to see client work! Happy to have you follow some of our family adventures, too, at @tcj_photos!
XO,
Teresa
