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. 

I have photographed the F family for multiple years now but these family photos at Bishop’s Garden may be my new favorite. It’s been such a delight to watch their two girls grow each year and mature into little ladies. This year Kathy asked for family photos at Bishop’s Garden. I love this location because […]

Family Photos at Bishop’s Garden | Washington DC Family Photographer

I enjoy taking Washington DC family photos because the city offers so many beautiful locations to photograph at like the Constitution Gardens. This location is right off of Constitution Avenue but still feels calm and peaceful. It has walking paths, a wonderful view of the Washington Monument, willow trees and the lovely pond. It’s the […]

Washington DC Family Photos | Constitution Gardens, DC

This Arlington Fall Family Session gave me all the autumnal feelings as I finished my last few sessions for the year. I love the earth-tone colors and outfits my client chose to celebrate the season they were in. I have had the delight of photographing this sweet family for maternity, newborn and now 6 month […]

Arlington Fall Family Session | Arlington Family Photographer

This Washington DC family session felt so iconic to the city. I love when I can mix greenery with architecture to my client’s galleries. The side gardens on East Capitol Street by the Supreme Court are just lovely in the fall. It offers pretty plants, benches to pose on and a great view of the […]

Washington DC Family Session | Supreme Court and U.S. Capitol

I adored this Holiday Family Photo Session. We met at a local park here in DC – Glen Echo Park – which had amazing light that morning. This Mama knows how to style her little family so well and they came dressed in such festive holiday outfits. We took half the photos in their holiday […]

Holiday Family Photo Session | Washington, DC Family Photographer

This Holiday Themed Family Session felt so fun and festive for a Washington DC Newborn Photographer in December. Little Piper had a NICU stay and we didn’t think we would have the chance to get the session in once she came home and before I went on maternity leave. But I was feeling good and […]

Holiday Themed Family Session | Washington, DC Newborn Photographer

This DC Fall Family Session was full of morning light and happiness. A toddler at this stage is always busy and will make any photographer work to capture their portraits but that is where the fun lies. I love the challenge of taking a few formal portraits but also the joy of movement and expression. […]

DC Fall Family Session | DAR Building, DC

This Colorful Fall Family Session was so much fun! It was speedy with such a busy toddler but sometimes that’s when you can capture the most expression. I met my clients at the Basilica in NE DC because I knew there was a lovely orange tree in full autumn glory. I photographed this family last […]

Colorful Fall Family Session | 6 month old family session

I adored this in-home family session for so many reasons. Having a session in your home allows the kiddos to feel at ease and creates a more playful environment. We started out in the nursery for some snuggles and baby portraits. Then we moved downstairs into the living room. I enjoy using the family couch […]

In-home Family Session | Washington, DC Newborn Photographer

It’s hard to believe I photographed this winter family session in November. It was such a beautiful and mild morning when I met the L family at the Supreme Court. We started out on the front steps -this time of year you can shoot at the Supreme Court and it’s still shaded until 10 am. […]
