Meet Sloane "Irie" Amelia - the person behind the lens at The Irie Edit
Based in the Washington, DC area
I’m Sloane "Irie" Amelia — the photographer behind The Irie Edit.
Photography, for me, is about connection. It’s about slowing down enough to understand your story — who you are, what you’re building, and how you want to be represented.
No matter the event, I focus on creating images that feel elevated and polished, reflecting your best.
I’m based in the DC, Maryland and Virginia area and work with clients who value authenticity, creativity, and visual storytelling. If that sounds like you, I’d love to create something meaningful together.
FAQ
 
WHAT TYPES OF SESSIONS DO YOU OFFER?
I photograph branding and lifestyle sessions, portraits and headshots, and the personal milestones that mark your becoming — engagements, maternity, graduations, birthdays, and family moments. I also take on a range of events and professional gatherings, from corporate functions and concerts to workshops and celebrations. If your story lives in the world of people and presence, I’m here to document it with intention.
Can I use the photos for social media and marketing materials?
Absolutely. Your gallery includes usage rights for personal branding, social media, and marketing materials connected to you or your business. If you ever need images for larger commercial campaigns or extended licensing, we can discuss that too.
What is your booking process?
My process is collaborative and grounded in clarity. We start with a conversation about your vision, your audience, and the story you want your visuals to tell. From there, I build a simple plan for the shoot — mood, location, styling, and the overall feeling we want to capture. On shoot day, I guide you through the process with calm direction, making space for natural expression and authentic moments. Afterward, you’ll receive a curated gallery that reflects your brand or personal vision with intention.
DO YOU HELP WITH POSING?
Yes, as little or as much as you prefer. My approach is natural and collaborative, helping you settle into poses that feel comfortable, confident, and true to you. We’ll find the moments that carry your energy without forcing anything.
