NOVA Family Photographer | Baby Jonathan {3 Months Old}
October 15, 2019 By  Teresa With  0 Comment
In  Children  /  Families  /  Milestones  /  Photography

I find myself going through spurts in my photography locations and where my clients come from. Northern Virginia (NOVA) was a hot spot for many, many sessions when I started my business, but lately more of my clients have been from Southern Maryland or Annapolis; luckily, one of my teaching colleagues brought me back north and into Virginia for a session in her home. Her son Jonathan had just turned three months old, and he blessed them with his first full night of sleep the night before, which mean his schedule was a bit off from what she planned when I arrived. He was all smiles the instant I walked in the door!

We moved outside to take advantage of that soft sunrise light, and since being a model is hard work, he was soundly asleep by the end of the session, which they didn’t expect to happen when we picked a time!

Even when your child doesn’t cooperate, there’s always something magical happening with kids, and I promise to document it! Three months old brings so many milestones… real smiles, more of an awareness of what is going on, the ability to hold up one’s head. Flexibility is key, though! Babies can’t sit up by themselves usually, and their moods and schedules are always changing no matter what. Babies (and kids) feed off the adults around them, though, so if you have fun and are relaxed, they will be, too! And if I REALLY think I didn’t get anything good for a gallery when I get home, I will reschedule, but that’s pretty rare! So trust me, parents, and just have fun with your kid(s) and go with the flow!

If you would like to book a session, I am booking for December and 2020, so contact me today through my contact page or by e-mailing me at teresa@tcjdesign.com to book a session. My only fall openings are November 2. I have openings still for my holiday minis at the Christmas tree farm! Details are on the Facebook page. Details also under events on my Facebook page!

    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! :) 🎄
