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. 

Little Wendy was my first newborn I photographed during the pandemic. We opted for an outdoor newborn session and she did so well. It was the start of a year full of outdoor newborn sessions in DC. She’s almost a year now and just as sweet as can be! She wore a lovely chiffon white […]

A Blush and Navy Spring Family Session |Washington, DC Family Photographer

This was yet another cold and windy session, but you would never have known it by the Wise family. Little Clair was amazing. She got “special” portraits with Mamma and Daddy flew her which brought on a lot of giggles. We had to stop for a few tea breaks to warm up but they did […]

The Wise Family |Washington, DC Family Photographer

Summer mornings are just my favorite time to photograph! The light is dreamy, it’s still cool in the city, and babies are always most cheerful early in the day. I was referred to Hallie through a past client/friend. I look forward to referral sessions because I know they will be a delight to work with. […]

The Leonard Family -Washington, DC Family Photographer

This session was by far one of the coldest I ever did. Little Caroline did so well. We had to stop several times to put her coat back on and warm up a bit but we even managed a few smiles from her. Zack and Ashleigh are the kindest people you will ever meet. Honest, […]

The Pauer Family -Bartholdi Park

There’s nothing more perfect then holiday photos at a Christmas tree farm, but since we live in the city we had to find a place that would work and still have the holiday feel. We chose to meet at Union Market, where they sell Christmas trees each year. They even set up a decorated tree […]

The Brown Family -Union Market, DC

Anna and Dee have been friend for years. It’s so fun watching them grow as parents and love on little Ford. Each stage has it’s new challenges and triumphs and I count it a blessing to be the one they chose to document their little boy’s life. Happy 6 months Ford!

A Spring Family Session | Lincoln Park, Dc

I had so much fun at this session! Toddlers can be a little tricky to photograph. Their attention span is 1/4 seconds and they are on the move constantly. I always tell my clients not to stress about getting too many “portrait” photos because the moments that come naturally end up being their favorite anyway. […]

The Puskin Family -Washington, Dc

The Byrnes Family were so fun! I’m always excited when clients ask to bring their family pets along with them to a photo shoot. Sure, they can be unpredictable but they add a casualness to the session and fun expressions. Just like toddlers 🙂 Enjoy their quiet morning session at the Basilica.
