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 winter maternity session felt like a fairytale. My client chose a white gown with a fur wrap and it matched perfectly with the Jefferson Memorial. I love this classic DC location with its elegant stairs and white pillars. We met early one morning in February so it was still very chilly. Meeting early meant […]

My thoughts have felt like a jumbled puzzle and it took me until the last day to finally sit down and write out a few things I’ve learnt over the years and felt the last few months.

Washington DC Maternity Photographer | Lincoln Memorial

This maternity session at the Bon Air rose garden was so lovely. The soft-toned colors the mother chose in their outfits matched perfectly with the roses. This location is a hidden gem in Arlington. I took their holiday photos last November and it happened to be the very day they found out that baby girl […]

Maternity Session at Bon Air Rose Garden

This maternity session at the Lincoln Memorial felt like a dream. The morning was overcast and it gifted us the perfect light. We met before 6 am to avoid the crowds and I am convinced it’s the magical time in the city. Everyone is still waking up and the location is so peaceful at the […]
