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 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

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 […]

Motherhood Session with Daughters

This family wanted to capture the bond between their two daughters and their beloved dog. I love in-home family sessions and backyard family sessions may just be my favorite. 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. […]
