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 whimsical family session at the Cathedral included all of my favorite elements. The stunning architecture of the National Cathedral always amazes me and I still can’t believe we get to enjoy so many wonderful locations here in our city. My client chose a stunning chiffon gown and it paired perfectly with the lorain they […]

Welcome Jesse Lee

This session of spring family photos in DC felt so dreamy. We met in Bishop’s Garden at the National Cathedral.

Washington DC Motherhood Photos

de·liv·er·y noun – the action of delivering letters, packages, or ordered goods. (and in my case, a baby) I’ve been pondering this word for a few weeks now as my own baby’s delivery draws near. This pregnancy hasn’t had any concerns but it’s felt much harder than Robert’s. Maybe it’s because I’m another year older or […]

I took their newborn photos of their first little girl and it’s always such a joy watching babies become big siblings. Little sister was a dream and slept almost the entire session. Being an Ashburn VA Newborn Photographer I bring all […]

This Family Session at U.S. Capitol felt so fun and classic. The Capitol is such an iconic location for a spring family session. I took little Posey’s 3 month photos last spring at the DAR building in the magnolias. Now she’s so big running around this spring! You can view that session HERE. Her mama […]
