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. 

One of my favorite things about being a DC Newborn Photographer is a cozy at-home newborn session. There’s no comfort like being home especially when you are a new mother with little ones. Toddlers need a drink of water, sometimes they need to snuggle their favorite stuffy with they are shy and many times the […]

It’s comfortable being […]

Backyard Summer Family Session

Is there anything more heirloom than photos with four generations in one family? I was so excited when my client reached out asking if a specific date worked for an extended family session. They were all going to be in town and wanted to document the time together. I love when families prioritize photos together. […]

Extended Family Session | Bon Air Rose Garden

One thing I always look for during a family session is mundane moments. Little interactions that occur organically and aren’t posed in anyway.
