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 DC fall family session felt so cozy. It was one of the first cooler days in October and they wore cozy knits and cardigans. I love the Bishop’s Garden in the fall. The light is so warm and golden as it filters into the garden. There are still a lot of flowers in bloom […]

DC Fall Family Session | Bishop’s Garden at National Cathedral

Washington DC Family Photographer I have photographed this sweet family for years now and love being their Washington DC family photographer. Whey they asked if I minded if they brought the dogs along, I said “not at all.” I love how animals make family sessions feel more relaxed. This fall they chose Riverdale House as […]

It’s such a privilege living so close and being an Old Town Alexandria photographer. Alexandria offers so many wonderful photography options.

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 […]

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! Photos mean a lot to this mama and her boys indulged her so sweetly. They were so relaxed and comfortable together. They had gotten up early for their session so […]

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. 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, […]
