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. 

Hey everyone! It’s no secret I adore the fall season and let me just say…it’s an even more delightful while I’m pregnant. The summer heat took all my energy this year but I’ve felt a new surge as I entered my third trimester this September. Another favorite thing about the fall is all the holiday […]

Fall Favorites 2023

This Family Session with Older Children felt really special. Sometimes teenage children get a bad reputation for being unkind or moody but not this family!

Family Session with Older Children | Bishop’s Garden, DC

Alexandria VA Family Session | River Farm Alexandria

This 6 month twin session was so fun! I had taken their baptismal photos a few months ago and they grew so much since then.
