Nadira and I met a couple years ago when our sons started pre-K together at the same public charter school. It was fun to work with a little boy who already knows me as the mom of his classmate. I enjoyed getting to see him in action, interacting with his parents outside of the school setting.
Now when he sees me, he gives me that extra look of recognition. I am not just his friend’s mom, but the photographer who spent time taking photos of him and his parents. I captured scenes that will become imprinted in his memory every time he looks at the Washington, DC family photography now hanging in his home.
For a city like Washington, DC, family photography in front of the family’s home and around their neighborhood give the images a sense of place that help preserve childhood memories. Here’s are a few more examples of a Washington, DC family photography session that took place around the home and neighborhood of the family.
