Silver Spring Family Photographer | Yael’s First Birthday
September 2, 2019 By  Teresa With  0 Comment
In  Photography

Silver Spring isn’t a city I frequent often, but I was able to help out the Elitzur family when their first photographer became ill. Two things I love are cake smashes and big happy families, and I got both with Yael’s family.

First birthday parties are often a reason for many family members to come together, and Yael’s was no exception! Since so many relatives were in the DMV visiting them in Silver Spring, Yael’s mom decided it was the perfect time to get some updated extended family photos tacked onto a mini for her niece and Yael’s cake smash.

Yael’s cousin Liat enjoyed an intimate tea party in the front yard with a lot of loving relatives watching every movement! From the tea party, we moved to family portraits with many friends and family to bubbles and photos with precious family gifts to cake smash.

Not many little girls can handle going from activity to activity, but Yael and her cousin just rocked the morning (and her cousin was even sick!). I know from photographing other extended family sessions that these are precious photos… you never know when you will lose a relative, and these photos can make timeless keepsakes for generations!

If you would like to book a session, I have very few fall openings, so contact me today through my contact page or by e-mailing me at teresa@tcjdesign.com. And don’t forget I have openings still for my holiday minis at the Christmas tree farm! Details are on the Facebook page. I’m back at my teaching job, so I am back to taking only a few sessions per month, but now that my husband is home from his deployment, I can travel a bit further to places like Silver Spring! 🙂

    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!

    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! :) 🎄

    I've been fighting some website issues since Friday that haven't been resolved, but that doesn't mean that I can't advertise that my National Mall Minis are happening again on August 20! 

Sessions will be 25 minutes long and held near the Lincoln Monument. Exact location will be dependent on weather and lighting. Cost is $375 (and that includes the permit fee) and includes your choice of 10 digital images from the edited gallery. For $150 more, you can have all of the images from your gallery! (If we have bad weather, we will reschedule is Sunday, August 21.)

This also includes consultation prior to session, access to my styling service, session fee, online gallery of edited images, and print release for all images. Only six people are allowed for these sessions. Additional family members are $20 per person. (You can have 12 people if you book an hour.) 

Because of the permit fee, there is no returning client discount. Maryland sales tax will be added to the listed price. Clients can purchase prints in gallery store. To book, go here: https://tcjdesign.hbportal.co/schedule/60e34d525768d7003239e230

One slot has already been taken!
    I'm so bad at blogging and social media, but summer is finally slowing down for me to catch up on photography. This cutie's first birthday finally has a permanent place on my website. Check her out! https://tcjdesign.com/blog-southern-maryland-family-photographer/
    Happy belated Fourth of July! I’ve been especially quiet lately and stepped a bit back from taking sessions when the school year ended since my family went on vacation, my husband retired from the Air Force (yesterday), and I’ve been on call for jury duty. I’ll be taking very limited sessions this school year since I’ve had a bit of an increased load this school year, but I will be opening a few August dates. Tree farm sessions are still happening! More details on those soon! I promise I’m not gone for good, and I’ve been doing a lot of engagement sessions over at @tcjdesignweddings if you want to check them out!
