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 during a newborn session is watching the older siblings welcome a baby into their family. Little Jones was so sweet with baby Blakely and gave him countless kisses. Four years old is a tough age to keep a child’s attention so we needed to grab a few graham crackers to […]

A Relaxed Newborn Session | Washington, DC Newborn Photographer

Meet Rosemary Gertrude. She was the sweetest little person. I photographed her big brother 5 years ago and it’s always the biggest honor to be asked again to document a family’s special moments. I love the peaceful sleeping poses but when a baby looks up at you with big bright eyes….it’s my favorite. Rosemary had […]

A Heartfelt At-home Newborn Session | Falls Church, VA Newborn Photographer

I have photographed the Klem family for years now and I adore them! The boys are so sweet and will let their personalities show a time or two during their session. I have to be ready for it because they both tend to be on the shy side. We walked around the Basilica grounds while […]

The Klem Family |Washington, DC

I love walking alongside families as they grow and enter new seasons. I took their maternity photos, little Nell’s newborn and now her one year old photos. Also, how does time fly so fast?! She is pure sweetness and her big brother adores her.

When Gretchen reached out to me about getting photos for their adoption profile book, I was so excited! Adoption means so much to me and it felt like a played a small part in their story. The session started out with a dance party, bubbles in the back yard and lots of giggles. Then they […]

The Gertiser Family |Adoption Profile Book Session, Washington DC

This sweet family! I can’t say enough good things about them. Anna does so well with scheduling sessions for every 6 month and 1 year mile marker for her children. They are incredibly kind people and such fun to be around. The morning we took these photos it was incredibly cold and windy but the […]

6 Month Old Spring Photo Session |Washington, DC Family Photographer

These little girls were just the sweetest! They were so well behaved even with the colder weather. As you can see, all smiles! Their parents were so calm and relaxed, which also help the children to enjoy the session too. Children follow the lead of their parents every time. We walked around the Senate building […]
