Sunflower Mini Session | Calvert County Lifestyle Photographer
July 17, 2017 By  Teresa With  0 Comment
In  Life  /  Mini Sessions  /  Photography

So while I’ve been trying to cut back on photography, I just couldn’t resist sunflowers. I had been hunting for some last summer, but everything I found was too far away. Then, I came across an event on Facebook with the Accokeek Foundation featuring their  Sunflower Days. One of my best friends from college was in town so after trekking around the Mall downtown, I forced my entire sweaty family to check out the field in Piscataway Park.

No one was there, except a farmer, and it was gorgeous. I didn’t have the right lens on my camera, but I made my three kiddos be my models to see how the flowers looked. Minus them being sweaty messes, the picture I took of them playing ring around the rosey is one of my favorites.

I had a client looking for a maternity session in a pretty location. I knew this sunflower field was perfect for that, but I had hoped to share the field with more people looking for a unique backdrop for lifestyle family and children’s sessions. I was pleasantly surprised at the interest after posting in a few places.

I was hoping to retake my kiddo’s photos, but the oldest took a monster long nap, so instead I just had four adorable families. Harper had a milestone shoot, Sarah and Tate had a mommy and me/1st birthday milestone session, the Johnsons had their family photo shoot ever, and my longtime clients Mason and Caleb updated their sibling photos. I had such a blast with these families in such a gorgeous sunflower field!

I’m cutting back on sessions, so if you want to book a session for this summer yet, I only have one or two August openings! E-mail me at teresa@tcjdesign.com. Take a look at my package page to see what type of session may be best for you!

    Anyone else in TOTAL denial that summer is basically over? My husband starts his new job in DC today (post AF retirement today), and I'm swamped with school work and a few gorgeous galleries to edit. I'm carefully watching the weather for Saturday's National Mall minis. I wish I was at the beach at ADoryable again, but in the meantime, I'll just keep saying Dory's famous lines: Just keep swimming, just keep swimming, just keep swimming... hopefully I tackle a lot of work today while keeping the kids busy!
    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"
- Elliott Erwitt

    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!
