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. 

This maternity session at the Lincoln Memorial felt like a dream. The morning was overcast and it gifted us the perfect light. We met before 6 am to avoid the crowds and I am convinced it’s the magical time in the city. Everyone is still waking up and the location is so peaceful at the […]

Maternity Session at the Lincoln Memorial

Washington DC Maternity Photographer It’s my goal as a Washington DC photographer to capture the entire story of my clients baby. Even the season they are born in tells a little part to that. This maternity session was full of magnolia blossoms which paired beautifully with my client’s choice of wardrobe. The white dress with […]

Washington DC Maternity Session I adore when parents choose to take maternity photos before their baby arrives. This maternity session was an absolute dream. We met on a rainy evening at the DAR.

Washington DC Maternity Session

I met Courtney at a photography workshop we both attended. She was quiet and so gentle-always smiling. We slipped upstairs for some quiet and I had the privilege of taking a few maternity images for her. I love how simple these frames turned out. A beautiful mama, a sweet baby bump, and an old window.

A Maternity Session at Home | Washington, DC Maternity Photographer

This session spoke such gentleness as I watched it unfold. This sweet mama is so incredibly kind with her two -almost three- little boys. We were juggling a stroller and two small children on the DC streets with lots of crowds and she maneuvered with incredible grace. Every time I have the privilege of photographing […]

It’s no secret that I love photographing at the Library of Congress. And when you add beautiful parents-to-be; it makes for a dreamy session. It had rained all morning and was just letting up when we started. Kate began their session wearing a long pink dress and then changed into a smokey blue for the […]

Winter Maternity Session at The Library of Congress |Washington, DC Maternity Photographer

I have never been to the Lincoln Memorial at sunrise but oh my….it’s stunning! As the sun rose over the Reflecting Pool, it felt magical. Katie and Pat were amazing -even when it took them a bit to find parking. We spent half our time by the water and then walked up to get a […]

Nick and Nadia were stunning together during their maternity session. And the fact that they did it in 100 degree weather is a true test of their character. They were so fun and relaxed. We did it at their home in the outdoor gardens. I know they are going to be incredible parents. This session […]
