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 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 […]

Family Session at U.S. Capitol | Washington DC Family Photographer

These Washington DC Family Photos were so much fun. I really enjoy when a session feels so relaxed and full of joy. When planning a session with little ones, I always recommend booking your session in the early morning. This does mean getting up early as parents and having your family dressed and ready before […]

Washington DC Maternity Photos | U.S. Capitol and Rawlins Park

March is full of new life as blossoms burst all around us.  After waiting 13 years for our first baby I am so aware of the community that I have come to know over the years. Women who long to hold a baby of their own (bio or adopted). We’ve built some deep friendships and […]

I loved watching them looking at her…they were in such awe that she was finally here. She was theirs forever. There […]
