Hi I’m Janae and the artist behind These Days Photography, a family photography business. Welcome to the family photography BLOG. 

Every one of us carries a unique story, and these stories are worth telling, and telling them with heart. Whether it's the joy of family gatherings, the sweetness of newborns, or the journey through life's milestones, let's celebrate every moment - from the beginning to the end.

I am not just your photographer- I am your story teller. Through my lens, I aim to freeze those moments in time, preserving your personal history, your family's legacy, and even the tales of generations yet to come. Together, let's create a visual narrative that speaks volumes about the beauty of life. Welcome to the adventure of storytelling through photography!

I hope that as you browse through my family photography, you are able to see the unique sense of humor in the small moments of each family's day. The best part about family photography in the Washington DC area is that there is such a beautiful variety of families and backgrounds, that I don't have to look for something I've never seen before. 

For those brave enough to ignore what we think other people want to see, and instead capture what we want to see
