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 summer newborn session felt so special. I first met this sweet family at Goldie’s newborn session. Now they welcomed their second baby girl, little Pearl. It’s always a treat when clients are my nieghbors. It was an incredibly hot day so we started out in the master bedroom where they could snuggle with their […]

Summer Newborn Session | Washington, DC Newborn Photographer

I had hopes of a natural birth with my son but after 4 days of trying to induce and never getting past 5 centimeters we chose to have a cesarean birth. Even if your brith plan didn’t go as hoped, know that a cesarean birth is still a birth. It’s just as beautiful and your […]

Vienna VA Newborn Photographer | Baby Rose

This cozy newborn photo session was so sweet with the most laid back baby. His Mama reached out to me asking about a session but she was nervous how it would go. Having a new baby (sleepless nights are not for the faint of heart) and juggling all the postpartum things can feel daunting when […]

Cozy Newborn Photo Session | Washington DC Newborn Photographer

Prepping Your Home for a Newborn Session

This casual newborn photo session was everything I dream for an in-home session. The parents were so relaxed and gently guided their little boy into the photographs. Toddlers make up their mind as to what they want to do and if forced, can result in some big feelings. I enjoyed watching them interact in such […]

DC Newborn Photo Session | In-home newborn session

This spring newborn photo session felt so happy and bright. Three of the sweetest little girls. I grew up in a family of five girls (until my little brother arrived years later) so this felt really special. I also love watching fathers interact when they have multiple daughters. They are so gentle and it makes […]
