This is THE most important step to great images.
You send me outfit photos and I suggest locations based on the photoshoot type and the styling of the outfits.
Trust me…I know the DMV area like the back of my hand!

Milestones with Edge: Birthday Photography for DC’s Celebrations
Turn “Happy Birthday” into bold, unforgettable art with Raya Photo Studios. Serving DC, McLean, and Alexandria, we specialize in milestone sessions that ditch cheesy props for editorial flair—think first birthday cake smashes styled like Vanity Fair spreads or 40th birthday portraits with K Street sophistication.
Our Approach
Themed & Fearless: We designs sessions around your vibe—whimsical balloon installations in Shaw alleys or moody cocktail-hour glam in our studio.
Age-Defying Energy: Whether chasing toddlers at Nationals Park or capturing your 50th in a Georgetown speakeasy, we make it iconic.
DC as Playground: Museum ice cream splatters, confetti explosions at Blagden Alley —we turn locations into stories.
Scouted Locations
From luxurious high-rises at Navy Yard to rooftop champagne shots overlooking the Capitol, we’ve scouted DC’s most celebration-ready spots.
