Sunflower Senior Session | Southern Maryland Photographer
December 28, 2019 By  Teresa With  0 Comment
In  Photography  /  Seniors

High School senior sessions are a serene break for me from all of the other types of photography I do. You would think that as a high school teacher, these would be the least of a “break”, but connecting with a senior one on one is part of why I became a teacher. I love getting to know my students as people outside of the classroom.

High school students are fascinating; they change so rapidly in such a short period of time in so many ways. Their bodies change, but they also change in how they think about the world and what their place is in it. While I know they get tired of hearing “where are you applying to or going to college” and “what do you plan on studying”, I never tire of hearing the deeper parts attached to these two questions. I always learn so much about my seniors from their decisions to go to a big school or a small school, one close to home or on the other side of the country, or one that is state, private, or religious.

Besides taking gorgeous photos of CeCe, the click I felt with her was instantaneous when I learned she was the editor-in-chief of her high school newspaper. As a former high school newspaper editor and former college newspaper editor myself, I felt an immediate bond. I completely understood what she loved and also empathized with every frustration she had with her position, as well. Moderating the high school newspaper and teaching journalism is probably my favorite part of being a high school teacher. The effort of a team to produce a publication is not much different than the body student athletes feel with their team.

So needless to say, the hour long senior session with CeCe and her mom went fast. We were very lucky to find one sunflower field in Southern Maryland that was just hitting its peak, and amazingly, it was not far from us in Northern Calvert County.

Hope you enjoy looking at her gorgeous images; to see her full gallery click here. And Class of 2020, it’s not too late to get on my calendar for a senior session yet this spring. Class of 2021, it may feel like senior year is still so far away since you just battled midterm exams, but I can promise there’s not a better time to make an inquiry and get on my calendar for this summer and to talk about where you would want to do your session. To start chatting about your senior session, write me here or e-mail me at teresa@tcjdesign.com. I’m already booked for January and February 2020. I have one March opening and am booking into April and May!

    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! :) 🎄
