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

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.
