welcome to my journal

Hi friend! My name is Jessica, I am a newborn and family photographer based in Washington Dc. I find it an absolute honor to photograph you with your little ones. I adore baby toes and that unforgettable newborn smell. 

This summer newborn session felt so special. I first met this sweet family at Goldie’s newborn session. Now they welcomed their second baby girl, little Pearl. It’s always a treat when clients are my nieghbors. It was an incredibly hot day so we started out in the master bedroom where they could snuggle with their […]

Summer Newborn Session | Washington, DC Newborn Photographer

This summer DC photo session had all of my favorite things…beautiful location, darling baby and connected family! The Capitol is one of the most iconic DC backdrops and it’s so beautiful by the water. I love how locations can tell your family’s story and the season of your life you are currently in. This Mama […]

Summer DC Photo Session | U.S. Botanic Gardens

This Backyard Summer Family Session was so beautiful. The hydrangeas were in bloom and all of the yard was so lush and green. This family wanted to capture the bond between their two daughters and their beloved dog. I love in-home family sessions and backyard family sessions may just be my favorite. It’s comfortable being […]

Backyard Summer Family Session

This sweet session was the last of little Eli’s baby membership. I took their maternity photos at the DAR building during the magnolia season. They were so lovely this past year and it’s by far my favorite bloom season in DC! Little Eli was born a few months later and he was amazing at his […]

One Year Old Photos | Baby Membership

I had hopes of a natural birth with my son but after 4 days of trying to induce and never getting past 5 centimeters we chose to have a cesarean birth. Even if your brith plan didn’t go as hoped, know that a cesarean birth is still a birth. It’s just as beautiful and your […]

Recovery After a C-section Birth

Being a Vienna VA newborn photographer is such a joy. I have photographed this sweet family for the past several years. I saw them welcome their first son who they waited and prayed for into their arms and hearts. Now they are a family of six with three little boys and the most darling baby […]

Vienna VA Newborn Photographer | Baby Rose

This maternity session in DC felt so whimsical. It had just started to mist when I met my clients, giving us the perfect lighting for their maternity session. We started at the Botanical Gardens in DC and then walked across the street to the Bartholdi Fountain. I love this location! It gives you blooming flower, […]

Maternity Session in DC | U.S. Botanic Garden

This cozy newborn photo session was so sweet with the most laid back baby. His Mama reached out to me asking about a session but she was nervous how it would go. Having a new baby (sleepless nights are not for the faint of heart) and juggling all the postpartum things can feel daunting when […]

Cozy Newborn Photo Session | Washington DC Newborn Photographer

This week a client emailed me asking if they could book a session even if their home wasn’t magazine worthy. It made me a bit sad. I photograph is some lovely homes and honored to do so, but please don’t look that others home and think yours isn’t worthy. Your home is where your babies […]

Prepping Your Home for a Newborn Session

This casual newborn photo session was everything I dream for an in-home session. The parents were so relaxed and gently guided their little boy into the photographs. Toddlers make up their mind as to what they want to do and if forced, can result in some big feelings. I enjoyed watching them interact in such […]
