Sessions from actual afternoon's with families – Alexandria, Arlington, Washington DC, and the Maryland side. No matching sweaters. Nobody cleaned the house.

THE THESE DAYS BLOG — Documentary Photography in Northern VA

Your real stories

What you'll find here:

Sessiom recaps, mostly. A normal Saturday. A birthday party everyone got to enjoy, including mom and dad. A newborn's first week without adding stress of the photos.

Everyone of these families walked away with beautful photos for their real lives. 

A family journal, of sorts. For when my memory eventually WILL fail me (probably sooner rather than later).

Dinos and dollhouses seem to be the theme of our playtime recently.

Family Photography by Janae

Helping you fill your own shoeboxes of memories

Hi, I'm Janae. I photograph families in Alexandria, Arlington, Falls Church, Chevy Chase, Bethesda and all of the areas surrounding Washington DC. I photograph families exactly as they are: mid-pancake, mid-meltdown, mid-laugh, mid-nothing-in-particular. I've never had a session where a kid "behaved," I've never needed one to.
