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 […]

Winter Maternity Session | Jefferson Memorial

This family! We had such a great time together at the Library of Congress. I think you can guess by now, this happens to be one of my favorite locations to photograph in all of DC. All the clean lines, white backgrounds and French architecture….I love it all! The children definitely have a close bond […]

Library of Congress, DC Family Photographer

This little family couldn’t have been sweeter. And their little girls…oh my! They were adorable. It was a pretty hot afternoon so we took half the photos in the shade of the Capitol and then moved into the Capitol lawn under the trees for the last half of their session. Beth is classic in every […]

The Craft Family |U.S. Capitol

Yards Park is fast becoming a favorite DC family session location for me. It offers great views of the water, trees for shade, and charming sidewalks to get that “city” feel without the hassle of fighting crowds. This sweet family is moving out of DC and wanted family portraits taken to remember their time here. […]

Summer Family Session at Yards Park | Washington, DC Family Photographer

There is nothing like a new baby. The smell and tiny grunts. The siblings getting to know the newest family member. The proud looks on the parents as they interact together, getting to know what a new normal is. Little Grant was welcomed with all the love possible. With two big sisters, he will get […]

We chose one of the hottest days in DC to photograph the Ancillai family. We had plans to photograph at the Botanical Gardens but they were having an event and it was so HOT out. We opted to meet at the Portrait Gallery’s atrium. With a glass ceiling, white walls and gorgeous fauna; it’s a […]

Washington, DC Family Photographer | The Ancillai Family

Summer mornings are just my favorite time to photograph! The light is dreamy, it’s still cool in the city, and babies are always most cheerful early in the day. I was referred to Hallie through a past client/friend. I look forward to referral sessions because I know they will be a delight to work with. […]

Meet the Patel Family! We planned to meet at the Library of Congress for their extended family photos. It was a special time, their smallest boy turned one that week and it was Father’s Day so they wanted the moment captured with family photos. It was a typical hot June day in DC and the […]

Allison reached out to me asking if I could take family photos because her son was graduating and they wanted something special to document the day. They had the most lovely home! Because it was raining so hard we had to make it quick, but they were so kind and accommodating. The fluffy family member […]

The Nyholm Family -Washington, DC Family Photographer

I have had the honor of photographing this sweet family 3 times now. I love when families choose to book the “motherhood package.” This allows me to really get to know the parents and children at each session. I photographed Danielle’s maternity session, Emilia’s newborn photos and now she just turned one! It’s hard to […]
