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 session at Bishop’s Garden was absolutely wonderful. We met in the late afternoon and were able to capture the light as it starts to warm into evening. The day was much cooler that the previous week and you could feel just a touch of fall in the air. As my maternity leave gets […]

Summer Session at Bishop’s Garden

This Three Generation Photo Session filled my heart to the brim. When Lauren reached out to me and said her mother was coming to town and wanted to take photos with her I was delighted. Little Gwendolyn adores her grandmother! You can tell from all the kisses and giggles. They chose the Bishop’s Garden with […]

Three Generation Photo Session | Bishop’s Garden

This Family Session at Stanton Park felt so special. My clients were visiting DC during spring break and happened to be here when the cherry blossoms were in bloom. Stanton Park is such a lovely location to enjoy the cherry blossoms that feels private and just as pretty as the Tidal Basin. My client mentioned […]

Family Session at Stanton Park

A Joyful Cherry Blossom Session at the Tidal Basin was the perfect way to welcome spring. I loved the color choices of the family’s outfits. The mother wore a lovely floral dress with flounce sleeves, the perfect touch to the lightness of spring. The father chose a soft pink pullover to match the pink blossoms. […]

A Joyful Cherry Blossom Session

I find it such a privilege being a Cherry Blossom Family Photographer. I have photographed this sweet family for years now, marking all the big milestones like birthdays and new babies. Julia chose blush pink and navy as her color scheme for their blossom session. Her dress perfectly matched the cherry blossoms. We started out […]

Cherry Blossom Family Photographer

Two weeks ago my twin sister -Jolene- packed up her three children and drove all the way to DC from West Virginia. I was missing her children in the worst way-there is something about a twin’s children that feel just a bit like your own. It was the best gift -to just spend two days […]

A Weekend Visit with my Twin

I remember the first session I had with these sweet clients as they welcomed their first baby into the world. Now they have three kiddos and recently added a ball of fluff to the mix. We met on an early Saturday morning at the Library of Congress. We shot a few photos there and then […]

A Misty Family Session at the Capitol

The one day I look forward to each year is the day I invite my past clients into our home to decorate gingerbread together. It is such a delight. We spend the day decorating cookies, eating snacks and getting to know good new friends. I try to set up several stations in multiple rooms to […]

Gingerbread Decorating Day with Clients

I get so excited when I meet someone in person after connecting online. Kit and I were Instagram friends long before we met face to face. Their kiddos did so well for their session. We met at the Supreme Court gardens and then walked around the Capitol area together. It was a beautiful fall evening […]

Neutral Family Photos | Capitol Hill, DC Photographer

I’ve worked with so many wonderful families this fall. I bumped into Nicole twice at two different coffee shops in the weeks leading up to her family session with me. That’s my favorite -or one of the favorites- thing about working and living in DC. I see my clients out and about at Union Market, […]
