Jocelyn, THE PHOTOGRAPHER


GET TO KNOW ME

I'm so stoked that you've stopped by! I'm an Alexandria & Northern Virginia family photographer, certified goofball, and chaser of glowy light.
I love taking portraits of all kinds, but I especially cherish photographing growing families and capturing the bonds between parents and their little ones. 💕 

TRAVEL-SIZED,
DANCER AT HEART,
JESUS-FOLLOWER.

Hi, I'm Jocelyn!

Couples

Arlington, VA

Grace & Kevin

From the very beginning, [Jocelyn] was so warm and kind, and the whole process of getting scheduled, picking a location, and making recommendations on outfit selection was extremely organized...
I know we will treasure these pictures for the rest of our lives. 

She captured our personalities, love, and laughter so beautifully...

Alexandria, VA

Jackie & Brandon

Jocelyn is a gem of a photographer! She was efficient with her time, adaptable (very important when dealing with an active 13 month old), and excellent at directing us...
She truly captures the nature of the subject's emotion and connection to each other, which is quite apparent when viewing her gallery!

She is the sweetest photographer with an incredible eye for detail and relationship...

McLean, VA

Lulu & Kevin

Jocelyn is responsive, positive, and reassuring. She offered helpful guidance on location and outfits. Our little one was feeling a little shy in the beginning and Jocelyn patiently gave her grace until she came out of her shell...
Would love to work with her again and highly recommend!

The photos turned out beautifully, capturing the exact vibe that I had envisioned...

Springfield, VA

Meredith & Sean

[Jocelyn] was very responsive and organized throughout the process leading up to and following our family photo shoot...
She also did an AMAZING job overcoming my moody toddler on the day of the photoshoot.

Her recommendations and style guide were very helpful...

Alexandria, VA

Valerie & Jason

Jocelyn was a joy to work with! I can't thank her enough for the patience she showed with our rambunctious crew and the incredible memories we now have to cherish forever. 

She has excellent communication throughout the whole process from inquiry, scheduling, and beyond...

Alexandria, VA

Angelina & Grover

We love her careful attention to detail and the tips she gave us throughout the session to help us look natural and have fun in the process! We highly recommend you book her as your photographer. 

Jocelyn made us feel at ease during our family photoshoot...

Arlington, VA

Emily & Kieran

She made us feel like we had the most well-behaved children (even when that wasn't quite the case!). Her organized options and help for outfit coordination, her attention to detail, and her overall attitude are what put her in a special category.

Jocelyn is a wonderful human being who also happens to take wonderful photos!

Wheaton, MD

Carissa & Jeremy

Doing a photoshoot with a toddler is no easy task, but [Jocelyn] is so patient and makes, what could be a stressful situation, really fun and enjoyable! Her experience in the DMV area is so helpful because she knows all of the best spots to take gorgeous photos!

She's incredibly fun, has a clear vision, and makes you feel comfortable throughout the whole session.

Alexandria, VA

Kate & John

We truly loved our experience with Jocelyn...It's not easy to photograph two little kids in winter sweaters in surprise 85 degree weather in October, but she did it and our photos turned out beautifully (and we don't look as sweaty as we were - she's a real pro)!

She is just as kind and responsive in person as she is over email!

Wheaton, MD

Malynda & Bryan

Jocelyn was easy to communicate with and responded quickly to any questions we had. She set up a great location and was fun to work with during the session...
Most importantly we have awesome photos of our family that we will always cherish!

She did a great job working with our two toddlers that can be a handful!

Manassas, VA

Rebekah & Richard

She made us all feel comfortable and relaxed, recommended an amazing site for out photoshoot, and was able to capture photos of our twin toddlers (difficult to do!) that we will always treasure!

Our experience with Jocelyn was OUTSTANDING!

Alexandria, VA

Sommer & Stephen

I was able to book and shoot my maternity session quickly and easily, and she helped me feel so at ease through the process...
The fast turnaround on sneak peeks and the final product was incredible! 

She is a pro at style advice and helping you look your best...
