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’ve known this sweet family for years when they would come in regularly at my husband’s ice cream shop. The children are so grown up now-time absolutely flies. We met early in the morning at the Capitol. This location is magical in the morning. It has a wonderful view of the Capitol but is also […]

A Fall Family Session at the U.S. Capitol | Washington, DC Family Photographer

I always get so excited when clients choose the Library of Congress for their family session location. It’s architecture is stunning and all the white bounces the light for gorgeous images. When you add an adorable family to the mix….magic! The Meyer family were so easy going with incredible taste. I love classic navy in […]

The Meyer Family |DC Family Photographer

This family means the world to me. They are the kindest people. I learned to know them because they lived in the same community as the family I nannied for. They have such deep family roots and incredible hearts. We met at the Martin Luther King Memorial and walked around the Tidal Basin. It was […]

The McCabe Family -MLK Memorial

I have photographed Sarah’s girls ever since they were just wee babes. It’s so fun watching them grow and develop personalities. Her apartment has a lovely courtyard and rooftop where the girls could run and play and it offered a wonderful location. I love the “moments” in this gallery of portraits…Mama’s helping hand, the tiny […]

The Patel Family -Washington, DC Family Photographer

Every photographer has an ideal client. Maybe it’s where you are from, your style, your personality…whatever that may be. I look for one thing after time spent with my clients and that is kindness. If you are kind, if family matters to you, if you take the time to listen to a little child’s needs…then […]

The Strahorn Family -Old Town Alexandria Photographer

Sibling relationships are so fun to capture and extra sweet when they are small. These two adore each other but still have that “brother/sister” rivalry going too. My friend, Bethany, came to visit me for the day so of course I had to snap a few portraits of her cute kiddos. I love capturing expressions […]

A Sibling Session at the Library of Congress

I’ve recently have done several headshot sessions and loved them! Directing one adult versus a family full of wiggly toddler feels like a walk in the park. I specifically enjoy photographing headshots for creatives. This allows me to mix profession with personality and we always have such a fun time together. Being able to gather […]

Liz |A Classic DC Headshot Session

The MacCabe family is so special to me. I see the kiddos several times a week at school or local parks. They make you believe in the strength of a family. They are fun, loving, creative and hard working. It shows in the way they interact with each other. We met in the morning at […]
