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 newborn session was just what I dream of. Both parents were so relaxed and in love. Cece was excited about being a big sister but of course, wanted to poke little Hatcher’s eyes. It’s something all toddlers try to do and I think it is adorable every time. We stared the session by all […]

A Cozy Newborn Session at Home | Springfield VA Newborn Photographer

I love when families and friends come together to love and support a child. Little Millie had her baptism on Saturday and it was incredible to watch their support system. Two of their best friends are Millie’s godparents and both sets of grandparents were also present. It was a sweet time of celebration and just […]

Millie’s Baptism | Washington, DC Family Photographer

One of my favorite moments during newborn sessions is walking into the nursery. The decor says so much about the family and things they love. The tiniest details matter and they welcome a new babe into their home. Little Mable was baby #3 and still had all the care to detail as the first. This […]

A Cream and Black Nursery |Washington, DC Newborn Photographer

Summers in DC can be sweltering and this session was no exception. How Ted and Lauren remained flawless through mosquitoes and 90% humidity I will never know. They are amazing! And little Gwendolyn was a sweet as can be. We met early in hopes to beat some of the heat which helped immensely. The Basilica […]

A Summer Family Session in DC | Washington, DC Family Photographer

Meet Robert Anthony IV-such a big name for a little man but I’m sure he will live up to you. We took his portraits in their apartment home in Alexandria. We did most of their session inside but then moved outside onto the terrace for a few. I always love when clients choose to take […]

Detail Photos of Newborn | Alexandria, VA Newborn Photographer

Taking extended family photos is such an honor. To capture a family in its entirety with multiple generations feels like such a gift. I hope your family will gather around your images for years to come. When faces dime from our memories, I pray your photos will bring you comfort and joy as you reminisce. […]

A Summer Family Session | Tenleytown, DC Photographer

I adore watching toddlers become the “big child.” It’s such a special transition in their lives. Little Eleanor is dearly loved already and the family had such a sweet bond. I love when families book a maternity session along with a newborn session. I already know the family well by the time I take their […]

At-home Newborn Session | Tenleytown, DC Newborn Photographer

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

Hello friends.   Something I have been pondering recently are the many beautiful moments you share together as a family. It may be saying grace before your dinner, playing games in the front lawn, or walking to the park together. It may even be pizza nights, bath time or the way your toddler hugs onto your […]

The Art of Storytelling

Why should you book a summer session? DC’s summers can be unbearably hot but they are also incredibly beautiful for family photos or outdoor newborn sessions. You don’t need to work around school schedules so you can have an early morning or evening session to avoid the heat. This also helps to avoid the crowds […]
