Life, Unfiltered: Editorial Lifestyle Portraits in Washington DC
Raya Photo Studios redefines everyday moments with polished, magazine-worthy lifestyle photography. Based in Alexandria, we serve DC’s families, entrepreneurs, and creatives, transforming coffee shop reads, yoga mat sessions, and farmer’s market strolls into art that whispers “this is your DC.”
Our Approach
Curated Authenticity: Pajama-morning cuddles in Capitol Hill row houses styled with West Elm elegance.
City as Canvas: Candid playdates at District Wharf fountains, solo entrepreneur moments in Blagden Alley’s murals.
Feminine Softness: Soft and elegant story-telling for women.
Scouted Locations
We’ve bookmarked DC’s most “you” spots—flower-lined stoops at the Netherlands Carillon, sun-dappled trails in Rock Creek Park full of foliage in October, or the less touristy cherry blossom locations. We got you!
