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 Maternity Session at the Lincoln Memorial felt really special. Any time another photographer/friend asks you to photograph their family, it is such an honor. We met at the Reflecting Pool but I always forget how they drain the pool each Spring. We still made it work and had a lovely time anyway. We then […]

Maternity Session at the Lincoln Memorial

Washington DC Maternity Photographer It’s my goal as a Washington DC photographer to capture the entire story of my clients baby. Even the season they are born in tells a little part to that.

Washington DC Maternity Session

A Garden Maternity Session | Washington, DC Maternity Photographer

I met Courtney at a photography workshop we both attended. She was quiet and so gentle-always smiling. We slipped upstairs for some quiet and I had the privilege of taking a few maternity images for her. I love how simple these frames turned out. A beautiful mama, a sweet baby bump, and an old window.

A Maternity Session at Home | Washington, DC Maternity Photographer

This session spoke such gentleness as I watched it unfold. This sweet mama is so incredibly kind with her two -almost three- little boys. We were juggling a stroller and two small children on the DC streets with lots of crowds and she maneuvered with incredible grace. Every time I have the privilege of photographing […]

Hello friends.   Something I have been pondering recently are the many beautiful moments you share together as a family. It may be saying grace before your dinner, playing games in the front lawn, or walking to the park together. It may even be pizza nights, bath time or the way your toddler hugs onto your […]

The Art of Storytelling

I love photographing at the Cathedral in the Bishop’s Garden. This location offers so many unique spots for beautiful images. The architecture is so detailed, the stone arch frames a family perfectly and the garden is lovely at any season. I met this sweet family on a sunny afternoon for their maternity session. They were […]
