DC Area Lifestyle Newborn Photographer | Oliver William {20 Days Old}
September 7, 2020 By  Teresa With  0 Comment
In  Newborns

Even though I often work as a DC area lifestyle newborn photographer, the pandemic kept me from taking too many newborn shoots since March. I did just two newborn shoots this past summer, and both were for friends. I wanted to be cautious about going into someone’s home with a tiny baby whose immune system isn’t prepared for Covid.

In addition to wearing a mask, I kept my distance as much as possible. I encouraged the families to purchase wraps, use personal blankets, and really embrace lifestyle vs posed shots so that the baby wasn’t using my gear. I even gave my clients access to my newborn posing tutorials since I didn’t do any handling of the baby during these shoots.

On my part, it was challenging to have to ask people to adjust a blanket or baby for the best light. It worked, and I’m so happy with how both little Liam’s and Oliver’s galleries turned out.

In order to keep any newborns safe, I’m making sure my personal family stays home as much as possible. Even though the state has relaxed and opened into Phase 3, we haven’t really changed how we behaved much. I do have to teach on campus most days of the week, but as of right now, we have no students. My kids’ tiny Catholic school has them in person four days a week, and they are still mostly at home and doing as much as we can virtually.

Little Oliver’s session was extra special because he lives with his grandma, uncle, and two fur siblings, so they were able to be part of the session, too!

If you are looking for a DC area newborn lifestyle photographer, take a look at my work and let me know if you want to book a session by using my contact page or e-mail me at teresa@tcjdesign.com. And check out Oliver’s complete gallery, here!

    Happy Father's Day to all of the dads out there, especially those who are celebrating for the first time! Head over to @tcj_photos to see some of my awesome husband!
    PSA from a military spouse: Memorial Day isn't about the veterans currently serving, who have served, or who have died of natural causes. That's why we have days like Veterans' Day or Armed Forces Day. Memorial Day is for those who lost their lives while serving. Last year, we visited the part of Arlington to see my husband's friend who died in a helicopter crash. It was heart-wrenching to see so many people hanging out, having a picnic, and just being as close as they could to their loved ones that left us too soon. I'm so thankful that my husband came back from those deployments in Iraq and Afghanistan and that he's been able to text me at the end of every helicopter flight to say he landed safely. Remember the real meaning of the day as you enjoy extra time off with your family and friends. It's not about honoring all Veterans. It's about honoring those who gave up everything for us.
    I'm glad M let me do something a bit unconventional for part of her headshots session last week. I just couldn't resist the glowy light and being off-centered allows room for all sorts of text on a website. :)
    I'm just loving editing this multi-generational shoot. The mom requested details, and I was happy to oblige. Great grandmother's and grandmother's hands that carried and cared for now adult babies now holding fresh tiny ones. I just loved it all. It's not my usual style, but I found myself loving it!

    Big week for this kiddo. He makes his First Communion Saturday! I can’t wait to celebrate him. He has such an amazing suit!
    Great grandma came to visit the baby, so it was the perfect time for photos of four generations. This is a little more formal than my normal work, but I have a lot of great candids, too. I just love little Cam's smile!  Swipe to see one of him solo. He's almost five. months old!
    We had such a busy day yesterday running all over. Today, we're catching up on some spring maintenance at home. Who else is loving this warmer weather?
