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’ve had several parents looking to book a newborn session with me ask if they should book a maternity sessions as well. I love when clients book both maternity and newborn sessions together for multiple reasons: I offer a Motherhood Collection including both a maternity and newborn. Booking a maternity session let’s us get to […]

Why Book a Maternity Session? |Washington, DC Maternity Photographer

There is something so beautifully tangible about photographing first time parents. They are nervous, excited and nostalgic about the wonderful change about to happen. It’s wonderful when client book their maternity and newborn sessions with me so we already know each other before baby arrives. It makes it a much for relaxing session for them […]

A Sunrise, Maternity Session at the Lincoln Memorial | Washington, DC Maternity Session

I have never been to the Lincoln Memorial at sunrise but oh my….it’s stunning! As the sun rose over the Reflecting Pool, it felt magical. Katie and Pat were amazing -even when it took them a bit to find parking. We spent half our time by the water and then walked up to get a […]

A Sunrise Maternity Session at the Lincoln Memorial |Washington, DC Maternity Photographer

Nick and Nadia were stunning together during their maternity session. And the fact that they did it in 100 degree weather is a true test of their character. They were so fun and relaxed. We did it at their home in the outdoor gardens. I know they are going to be incredible parents. This session […]

A Summer Outdoor Maternity Session

How I love maternity sessions in the spring. And March gifted us with a warm day and lovely sunshine. Diana wore pink and the most beautiful dress with movement. Little Owen is going to be the best big brother. We explored the grounds of the Franciscan Monastery together while Owen and I looked for rocks. […]

A Pink Maternity Session in the Spring |Washington, DC Maternity Photographer

This session was a dream. When you have a beautiful mother and a snow storm, you can create some breathtaking images. Also, the snow was a wonderful distraction for the sweet toddler that woke up from his nap. I adore when clients are up for some adventure! We did this entire session in 30 minutes […]

A Maternity Session in the Snow | Washington, DC Maternity Photographer

With all the new babies coming this year, I’ve had so many mothers reach out to me wondering when to book their maternity session. Three things for you to keep in mind: One, is your bump showing yet? You don’t want to schedule a maternity session and not be able to see your bump. Two, […]

The Best Time to Schedule Your Maternity Session

I adore photographing couples who are waiting for their first baby to arrive. It’s just so special. Every thing is new and uncharted. They hold on to each other in the beautiful unknowns and the countless “firsts.” These two were no exception. I could sense the anticipation in the first email Annemarie sent me. They […]

A Winter Maternity Session at Union Station

This was such an incredible session! It was such a mild day for December, and I was so grateful. We first started at the Library of Congress-my favorite location in all of DC-and then walked across the street to the Supreme Court. I love all the white and green tones of the buildings and Pallavi […]

A Classic Maternity Session at the Library of Congress

We couldn’t have asked for a more perfect morning for their maternity session. We met early to beat the heat and there is always less people in DC the earlier you go out. Both of us were excited we got this session in after the quarantine haircut but before the baby arrives. 🙂 We started […]
