We had a great experience during our Christmas photo shoot with Jessica. She captured priceless memories and delivered beautiful photos that we will treasure forever. If you’re second guessing a Christmas or newborn shoot, don’t, and book with Jessica. She’s amazing and master at her craft. ❤️

Jessica has been our photographer since we got engaged back in 2018 and has photographed every family milestone we have had! She photographed our wedding, our first born, an amazing mini session when our first was a toddler, our second child and we've already gotten her on the books for our third girl coming this March! Jessica's style is timeless and her photos are all over our walls - I can't ever choose which ones I like the best! Jessica knows EXACTLY what to do and say to get the kiddos to take the best pictures possible and is always amazing when dealing with our pup as welll! We can't imagine capturing our memories with anyone else!

This was our first time being photographed by Jessica and I couldn’t be more delighted to share a 5-star review. I stumbled on her Facebook and loved her aesthetic. My son just turned one and had not yet met Santa and Jessica’s Santa session seemed way more personable than your standard mall Santa photos. And it was! Jessica’s expertise captured the holiday spirit flawlessly, delivering stunning, high-quality images that truly brought joy to our family. You can tell she has been working with families for a long time; our son, who has major stranger danger, was full of smiles with Jessica acting silly behind the camera. Although the smile faded when the big man surprised him, Jessica was still able to capture beautiful photos of our son despite his meltdown. And to add, as a first time mom who hasn’t felt her best since giving birth, these photos really helped me see myself as beautiful again. Jessica truly has a remarkable talent for creating magical moments, and we're grateful for the beautiful memories they've provided. Highly recommend for anyone seeking a skilled and personable photographer!

I don’t even know where to start, so I’ll just start from the beginning. I met Jess in 2017 when she photographed my best friend’s wedding. Her style is so bright and airy, and what she captures is just incredible. I would have hired her for my own wedding, however we lived in Texas at the time. Fast forward, I had followed her on IG for years now, I had seen her gorgeous Santa minis, and now I had my own baby and I HAD to document my daughters first christmas, and Jess was going to be the one to do it. We flew from Texas to Virginia, and let me tell you…. I would do it again and again. Last year, I was pregnant and unfortunately, we just could not make our schedules work. I couldn’t find anything like what Jessica offers so we just didn’t do pictures at all. This year, we had another baby and it’s her first christmas, and we made sure our schedules would work to come up and see Jess. This time, we drove six hours from South Carolina. And just like before, it was worth every penny and every minute of the drive. Jessica has such an incredible set up and her heart for capturing families and a child’s spirit is unreal. And a little plug, Santa Bob might as well be the real Santa.

We got our Santa photos done by Jessica and WOW what an experience!! Everything from information prior to your session, how to prepare, where to park, etc! She really eased my anxiety about driving over an hour away for pictures with Santa! IT WAS WORTH EVERY MINUTE! Jessica was so sweet, and took some of the BEST pictures of my daughter who is so squirmy at 9 months old! These pictures are going to last a lifetime and I am so so impressed by her skills. If you are doubting whether or not to get your photos done with Jessica- don’t even think twice. We can’t wait to come back next year!!

Working with Jessica was such a top notch experience from start to finish! She was so kind, accommodating, and patient with our two year old and we are absolutely elated with her work. She is truly the best at what she does and we already can't wait to work with her again!

We had the most amazing Santa Session with Jessica- seriously there is no other photographer I’d bring my kids to! She is absolutely amazing. The entire booking & prep process was seamless leading up to the session. She is so organized and gives so much attention to detail. Her client experience is seriously next level! The studio was immaculate and everything was perfect. We will treasure these photographs the rest of our lives and will continue to keep coming back as clients! Thank you Jessica (& Santa ❤️)!

My children had a Santa mini-photo session with Jessica and Santa Bob last year after discovering her studio online. The experience and (most importantly) the pictures were amazing. I only wish I found her earlier. We have already planned another session for this year (2023).2023 UPDATE: Went back for this year's (2023) pictures and, once again, terrific photos.

Jessica has been taking pictures of our family for almost 3 years, including maternity, newborn, milestone, and now photos with Santa. She is always incredibly prepared and communicative and so so so patient during sessions. She gets both posed and candid photos and makes us feel so comfortable in front of the camera. I will never regret the investments I have made in getting taken photos by her. She gets images of my kids and family that I will love forever.

This is the third year we’ve done Santa photos with Jessica, and I cannot rave about the experience enough! Jessica is the sweetest and goes above and beyond to try to set the kids at ease. As a fellow mom, she knows the pictures families want and goes out of her way to subtly pose kids in a flattering way. My toddlers are in prime “stranger danger” mode, but Jessica adapted quickly recognizing that some standard shots wouldn’t work and still captured beautiful memories for us. I walked out of the session convinced all the pictures would be of crying, flailing toddlers and was blown away at the sweet pictures she captured between those moments! I’m excited to continue our annual tradition with Jessica and love that she gets to watch my kids grow up through the Santa experience each year!

The most magical Santa experience. I’m so glad I found Jessica. My family is new to the NOVA area, and it’s so nice finding the perfect family photographer. The studio is perfect for small children. My one year old had plenty to play with in the waiting area. Highly recommend Jessica.

We’ve done 2 Santa sessions with Jessica and everything has always been fantastic! I love her simple, timeless set ups and how she makes the experience fun for kids. It makes a huge difference! I wish she’d do more mini sessions throughout the year!

OH EM GEE!! ABSOLUTLEY THE BEST!! A photographer that is closer to me booked up so fast that I was on the hunt for a new photographer to do Santa Mini's. When I came across Jessica's page, I was over the moon with the photos she had in her portfolio, and decided to sign up for her Santa Minis... and she did not disappoint! She has this process down to science, the Santa is the real deal, and could not have made our child more comfortable. Needless to say, she will be our go to for yearly photographs, and Santa Mini's year after year!Great Job!!!!

I’ve loved all of our experiences with Jessica - we’ve done milestone photos, Mother’s Day photos, and Santa photos. Not only are the pictures beautiful, but the experience is amazing. She has hair, makeup, and a huge wardrobe of cute clothes (for you AND the kids!!) to choose from so in the haze of taking care of your new baby you don’t have to stress about trying to find a flattering outfit for photos or tame your post partum frizz. And watching our then 9 month old meet Santa was magical I treasure the photos from each experience and highly recommend her if you’re looking for photos of your kids/family!
