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 maternity session at the Supreme Court felt so special. I photographed Mat and Izzy’s wedding last year and was so excited when they told me they were expecting a little girl. Amelia will be the best big sister ever. She’s so excited and loved touching her Mama’s belly. I loved the spring blooms and […]

Maternity Session at The Supreme Court

This Maternity Session at the Lincoln Memorial felt really special. Any time another photographer/friend asks you to photograph their family, it is such an honor. We met at the Reflecting Pool but I always forget how they drain the pool each Spring. We still made it work and had a lovely time anyway. We then […]

Maternity Session at the Lincoln Memorial

I have never been to the Lincoln Memorial at sunrise but oh my….it’s stunning! As the sun rose over the Reflecting Pool, it felt magical. Katie and Pat were amazing -even when it took them a bit to find parking. We spent half our time by the water and then walked up to get a […]

A Maternity Session at the Lincoln Memorial |Washington, DC Maternity Photographer

With all the new babies coming this year, I’ve had so many mothers reach out to me wondering when to book their maternity session. Three things for you to keep in mind: One, is your bump showing yet? You don’t want to schedule a maternity session and not be able to see your bump. Two, […]

The Best Time to Schedule Your Maternity Session

We couldn’t have asked for a more perfect morning for their maternity session. We met early to beat the heat and there is always less people in DC the earlier you go out. Both of us were excited we got this session in after the quarantine haircut but before the baby arrives. 🙂 We started […]

Danielle -DC, Maternity Photographer

Daniel and I have known the Bruner-Yang family ever since we moved to DC. I was so excited when Erik reached out about family photos. They have the cutest kiddos and will have another baby arriving soon. We met at the Botanical Gardens and walked around the grounds. They were so fun despite the cold.

Erica is such a dear friend of mine! She is expecting her first baby -Miles- and I couldn’t be happier for her! She drove all the way into DC to see me Sunday afternoon. We sat and talked, sipped tea, and decided to drive to the Basilica for a few maternity photos. I’m so glad […]

A Summer DC Maternity Session

DC’s summer heat has been tricky to work around this year, but my clients have been very flexible with it all. The Cherry family opted to meet early in the morning and I’m so glad we did! We met at a little park tucked away in their neighborhood. It was the perfect setting, so private […]
