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. 

DC Lifestyle Newborn Session Newborns are so much fun to photograph when they are still sleepy and you can easily swaddle them. This little man was sick for the first few weeks so we had to wait longer to take his newborn portraits. This age is fun too with his expressions and the way he […]

Newborn Outfits For Photos

Lifestyle Winter Newborn Photography There is something so special about lifestyle winter newborn photography. When the world is damp and cold, watching a newborn enter brings such life and hope.

Lifestyle Winter Newborn Photography

There is something I love about photographing newborns in the winter. It’s so cold outside but the warmth and sweet feelings of a newborn is so comforting. The light on a winter day is always good due to no leaves on the trees outside letting in the maximum natural light. Little Eleanor was so content […]

Washington DC Newborn Photographer | Pink and Sage Newborn Photos

Sweet little Noah did so well during her in-home newborn session. I love to capture every detail of a newborn baby. The fingernails, the flaky skin and delicate eyelashes. She even gave me a few smiles. Every child is such an incredible miracle.

It’s the space you feel the most YOU. It’s the four walls you bring your baby home to. It feels so special. Little Goldie was amazing […]

A Whimsical Newborn Session in a Garden | Newborn Session at Brookside Gardens

I love collecting all the baby names I have photographed over the years but this little girl may have my favorite. Her name is Posey. My Grandma Myers called flowers posies and it will forever bring back sweet memories of her. Posey was awake the entire time of her session but so calm. Her mother […]
