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 summer DC photo session had all of my favorite things…beautiful location, darling baby and connected family! The Capitol is one of the most iconic DC backdrops and it’s so beautiful by the water. I love how locations can tell your family’s story and the season of your life you are currently in. This Mama […]

Summer DC Photo Session | U.S. Botanic Gardens

This cozy newborn photo session was so sweet with the most laid back baby. His Mama reached out to me asking about a session but she was nervous how it would go. Having a new baby (sleepless nights are not for the faint of heart) and juggling all the postpartum things can feel daunting when […]

Cozy Newborn Photo Session | Washington DC Newborn Photographer

This week a client emailed me asking if they could book a session even if their home wasn’t magazine worthy. It made me a bit sad. I photograph is some lovely homes and honored to do so, but please don’t look that others home and think yours isn’t worthy. Your home is where your babies […]

Prepping Your Home for a Newborn Session

This session was so full of joy and warm family connections. I always love when a grandparent opens the door when I arrive. It shows how much we need support and family when a new baby enters the world. This session was so close to our own home that I could walk there. We love […]

DC Newborn Photo Session | In-home newborn session

Is there anything more heirloom than photos with four generations in one family? I was so excited when my client reached out asking if a specific date worked for an extended family session. They were all going to be in town and wanted to document the time together. I love when families prioritize photos together. […]

Whimsical Spring Family Session | Magnolia Blossoms

The Benefits of Baby Wearing There are so many adjustments to becoming a new parent. One of the hardest things for me was time management. Suddenly your day is full of feedings and snuggles but you still have the other every day tasks still to do. It was several weeks until I tried wrapping Robert […]

The Benefits of Baby Wearing | Washington DC Newborn Photographer

Family Photos at the Lincoln Memorial It felt like such an honor to photograph this family one more time before they move out of the city. I took their daughter’s newborn photos several years ago and have been seeing them once or twice a year ever since. They mentioned their move to me and wanted […]
