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 hear it all the time…it can be so hard as a mother to be IN the photos. That’s why I love offering just a few mini motherhood sessions near Mother’s Day. These Washington DC Motherhood Photos felt extra special not only because they are of a dear client but it is the last time […]

Washington DC Motherhood Photos

Being a Washington DC Family Photographer allows me to meet the most wonderful families and photograph at lovely locations like the Capitol or the Botanic Gardens.

This Family Session at U.S. Capitol felt so fun and classic. The Capitol is such an iconic location for a spring family session. I took little Posey’s 3 month photos last spring at the DAR building in the magnolias. Now she’s so big running around this spring! You can view that session HERE. Her mama […]

Intimate Mommy and Me Photos

It can feel daunting to think of busy toddlers and scheduling your family photos. You just never know what kind of day your toddler will be having when you schedule your session months in advance.

Beautiful Toys for Photo Shoots

It’s ironic how I can be a Washington DC newborn photographer but also forget to prioritize photos with my own child. Every time I see photos of me with my baby I realize how much I value them and it gives me a new perspective on motherhood. There is just something about actually seeing yourself […]

Me without You

These Washington DC Family Photos were so full of personality and joy! Many clients express concerns when booking a session with multiple toddlers. Most kiddos from 2-5 years aren’t huge fans of sitting and posing for a long period of time. I look for locations that children can run and get some wiggles out during […]

Washington DC Family Photos | Jessica Burdge Photography

A garden family session will always be a favorite of mine. DC offers so many wonderful gardens but the Bishop’s Garden at the National Cathedral is just lovely. It offers a wide open lawn that children can run and play on. This creates organic moments and natural laughs in a child. There is lush greenery […]
