THE THESE DAYS BLOG — Documentary Photography in Northern VA

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.

Documentary Family Photography Shows the Stories You Never Knew You Needed — A Fairfax VA Morning

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.

Helping you fill your own shoeboxes of memories
