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 fall DC family session was perfect to start off my holiday family portrait season. It’s always special to meet a family once again after taking their newborn photos. Little Shira has grown so much and is just as sweet as ever. We met at the Botanical Gardens and walked around the grounds catching the […]

Fall DC Family Session | Botanical Gardens

This light-filled family session was so pretty on a fall morning. Bishop’s Garden is the perfect mix of florals and greenery. We started out the session with the little boy running and scraping his knee before one photo was taken. This can sometimes ruin a photo session but the parents were amazing! They scooped him […]

Light-filled Family Session | Bishop’s Garden, DC

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. Their parents wanted a calm and relaxed session in their home to document their connection as a family. Photographing two toddlers can be tricky but if you keep moving locations, […]

6 Month Twin Session | DC Family Photographer

Props I Bring to Photo Sessions The props I bring to photo sessions are typically very minimal. They differ depending on the session, whether it is a newborn session or a family session. For newborn sessions I bring my basic white swaddle and background. I bring a neutral knotted gown for LouLou to use as […]

Props I Bring to Photo Sessions | The Moses Basket

This Three Generation Photo Session filled my heart to the brim. When Lauren reached out to me and said her mother was coming to town and wanted to take photos with her I was delighted. Little Gwendolyn adores her grandmother! You can tell from all the kisses and giggles. They chose the Bishop’s Garden with […]

Three Generation Photo Session | Bishop’s Garden

This fall season I have had several child that where sad during their session. I can usually win a child over but on the rare occasion I can’t, I like to have a few items in my camera bag to make a child feel at ease. I love this little wooden car and train. They […]

Simple Wooden Toys

I adore this sweet family. I took their extended family photos a few years ago. This year they were missing a few families but it was still lovely! Any session that a grandparent is preset feels extra special. And these sweet children will have meaningful portraits to hold one day. Georgetown campus is beautiful in […]

A Southern Family Session in Georgetown, DC

My nephew Landon was diagnosed with autism and epilepsy a few years ago. He struggles to be able to focus on the camera and photos in general feel very overwhelming to him. Hi mother -my twin sister- loves displaying family photos in their home so we have tried many things over the years to coax […]

Photographing Children with Disabilities |Washington, DC Photographer

Summers in DC can be sweltering and this session was no exception. How Ted and Lauren remained flawless through mosquitoes and 90% humidity I will never know. They are amazing! And little Gwendolyn was a sweet as can be. We met early in hopes to beat some of the heat which helped immensely. The Basilica […]

A Summer Family Session in DC | Washington, DC Family Photographer

I’ve had several clients reach out to ask if it is too late to schedule a newborn session if their child is already a month or two old. You absolutely still can schedule a session! Also this is such a sweet age to capture. The baby is responding with smiles and interacting. Let’s not forget […]
