WHAT’S MY PROCESS TO GREAT IMAGES?
STEP 1: Introduction
Tell me what kind of photos you’re looking for here.
STEP 2: Investment
I’ll give you a price based on what you’re looking for.
STEP 3: Deposit
You’ll pay a deposit to hold a date/time.
STEP 4: Location Planning
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!
STEP 5: Shoot & Post Processing
Within 1-3 days AFTER the shoot I will send you a link with all of the unedited photos so you can choose your favorites.
I will then edit your selected photos within 5-10 days after receiving your list of favorites.

Love Stories, Editorial Style: Modern Couple Portraits in Washington DC
Raya Photo Studios crafts fashion-inspired couples photography for DC’s dynamic duos. Based in Alexandria, VA, we serve DC, Arlington, Bethesda, and beyond, blending romantic spontaneity with Vogue-worthy polish. As the area’s premier photographer-stylist team, we transform engagements, anniversaries, and “just because” moments into timeless art that dominates social feeds and gallery walls.
Our Approach
Editorial Chemistry: Poses that feel authentic yet camera-ready—think stolen laughs on Georgetown’s cobblestones or sleek embraces at The Wharf.
Styled Narratives: Kate curates outfits that tell your story, from Dupont Circle chic to National Mall grandeur.
DC Backdrops as Co-Stars: Iconic locations like Lincoln Memorial sunset hues or our studio’s velvet-draped intimacy.
Scouted Locations
