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. 

Have a friend visiting with her family this week and she was asking for suggestions on what to do if the day they visit is really cold. Washington, DC offers so many fun things to do with your family even if you visit during the winter months. Here are just a few of my favorite […]

Places to Visit in DC at Winter

Early mornings are my favorite time to visit the Capitol area. I love walking with clients and photographing them in all of the lovely locations downtown. I met the P family at the Library of Congress for a few photos showcasing DC architecture and then we walked down the Capitol Hill to Bartholdi Fountain. They […]

An Early Summer Family Session | Library of Congress and Bartholdi Fountain

This was such an incredible session! It was such a mild day for December, and I was so grateful. We first started at the Library of Congress-my favorite location in all of DC-and then walked across the street to the Supreme Court. I love all the white and green tones of the buildings and Pallavi […]

A Classic Maternity Session at the Library of Congress

I’m sharing SO many images from this session because I simply could not decide which ones to choose. I met the Lee family early at the Library of Congress due to the heat. DC has been incredibly hot this summer! This family is everything I dream of in a client. They are comfortable and happy, […]

The Lee Family | Summer Family Session in DC

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 […]

The Lea Family |Washington, DC Maternity Photographer

I met Amanda on Instagram several months ago and we have waited a long time for their session! It could not have been a more beautiful day! They drove 1.5 hours to DC-always an honor for a client to drive so far-and we had a lovely morning together. Since they weren’t familiar with DC Amanda […]

The Yoder Family | Library of Congress, DC

Springtime in DC is simply gorgeous! Sadly this year most of us had to miss walking through the blossoms and enjoying Spring to the fullest. I had the chance to walk around some of my favorite spots before the last distancing went into effect. We all need some beauty in our lives right now. I […]

DC in Bloom |springtime in Washington, DC

Hadley turned one and she couldn’t have been any cuter! Her Mama went all out with a pink tutu, “birthday girl” T-shirt, and “one” balloon. We met at the Library of Congress on a surprisingly mild day for February. She hammed it up for the camera and was just adorable. I love all the different […]

Hadley Turns One -DC Family Photographer

Two sweet sisters in red lace dressed and sparkly shoes…oh my! We had such a fun time during this session. When Gina reached out to me and asked if we could do a Valentine’s session with her girls, I was delighted. We met at the Senate Building because I know all the red would look […]

It’s always such an honor when a friends asks me to photograph their family. (and drives two hours to come to DC to make it happen!) Margaret has been a dear friend of mine for years so we got the chance to catch up a bit during their session. It had rained the entire day […]
