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 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 […]

6 Month Baby Portraits | Washington, DC Newborn Photographer

Early morning in my favorite time to photograph at the Supreme Court. It’s so quiet except for morning runners and the occasional person walking their dog. It also has a lovely cherry tree that blooms and this year it really showed off. I have four older sisters and it always feels special photographing sister bonds. […]

A Spring Sister Photo Session at the Supreme Court | Washington, DC Family Photographer

I was so excited for this session. One, because I have known Kalee for years and two, it’s so fun getting a new location to photograph. We met at Caledonia State Park and walked through the woods to a peaceful spot. The little girls were darling. I love when parents are up for anything and […]

A Woodland Family Session | Chambersburg, PA Photographer

This was my last session for this little girl’s baby collection. I took their maternity, newborn and now 1st year photos. It is so fun watching the babies grow and seeing how their personalities start to shine. We took the photos in front of their home. It was such a lovely spring day and we […]

Baby’s Girls First Birthday | Washington, DC Family Photographer

Little Jude is turning one and this is such a fun age to capture. They are on the move at this age so that can be challenging but there is so many little things to photograph. They can stand by themselves, they have new teeth and their little personalities are developing. I also realized this […]

One Year Portrait Session | Supreme Court, DC

Miss Hadley turned two a few weeks ago and I can hardly believe it! It doesn’t feel like that long ago I was taking her 6 month photos. We started her session in the snow but she didn’t last too long. So we took a few more photos of just her Mama and baby bump […]
