it amazes me every time just how fast that first year flies by, and it feels like just yesterday we were taking their maternity portraits as they waited for sweet Mia to arrive! I had the joy of documenting their maternity, newborn, 6 month, and now first birthday portraits, and it’s the sweetest gift to get to know a family over such a special year.

these two knew they wanted those classic DC engagement portraits to mark this exciting season, and man oh man did that vision come to life!
This year’s Motherhood Mini Session event was so special to me, and I am so grateful to each of the mamas and babies who joined me last April at Studio at 428! We had the most gorgeous florals by CS Farmstead, sweet treats by Signature Sweets by Amanda, and a beautiful day to celebrate these beautiful ladies.
My love and affection for these boudoir session just grows and grows, and i’m hoping to do so many more of them in 2026! My goal for these maternity boudoir sessions is to find that gorgeous blend of femininity, strength, beauty, power, tenderness, joy, vulnerability, connection, and wonderment that comes with pregnancy.

Oh friends, I am SO excited to share these portraits with you! Something I’m hoping for 2026 is SO many more fine art boudoir sessions! They are so special to me, so fun, so empowering, and it’s the absolute best to get to remind these women of how uniquely stunning they are. Maternity boudoir sessions especially have such a sweetness and power to them, and I was so excited to bring the vision for this session to life.
20 years of doing this job (crazy, right?!) and the couples I get to know truly truly are the very best part still! Ben and Cosi were married this past May, and I got the sweetest text from her out of the blue 8 months after their wedding saying they were scrolling through their photos again and couldn’t love them more, and how thankful she was for me to have been there.
Is there anything better than peak fall colors here on the east coast? The end of October was really showing off for these two and gave them gorgeous weather and even better color for their wedding day at Shadow Creek!

Get ready to see a LOT of this girl on this site, I am so excited to introduce you to my most precious neiece Evelyn. Our Evie girl has been the biggest ray of sunshine for our family, and has (literally) all of us wrapped around her tiny finger. She’s an expert at blowing bubbles and thinks her toes are just the coolest. We’re all pretty smitten with our girl, and she’s growing WAY too fast for her Aunt Jessie’s liking. We get to have a date every Wednesday, and so far at least, she tolerates me pulling out the camera like a pro :)

Seeing these kids that I’ve come to adore have the ‘best day ever’ time and time again will just never get old. It doesn’t matter if they see the castle once a year, once a month, or once a decade, it’s special and wonderful and full of magic every single time! We had a perfect September morning together, complete with breakfast with some special pals at the very end!

This session has been a decade in the making, and turned out better than any of us could have dreamed! I remember being at Scooter and Ashley’s house so, SO long ago when their oldest kids were just babies and Ashley telling me that her dream session one day when their family was complete was one at home, filled with all of their favorite Christmas traditions. Kiddos in holiday pjs, decorating the tree, making cookies, hot chocolate, their favorite christmas books, the kids smaller trees that go in their rooms… they have so many special holiday activites and I love that we got to work all of them into our morning together!
