June Vibes: Summer Chaos, Chill Studios & Capturing the Real You

June 2, 2025 Ginny Thomas

SUMMER IS HERE!


Anyone else blink and suddenly it’s June? 
Summer tends to throw structure out the window.  The kids are home, travel plans are in full swing, and most of the time nobody knows what day it is.

But here’s the thing: your story doesn’t pause just because life gets chaotic. And summer has this beautifully unfiltered energy that’s actually perfect for photography; if you know how to embrace it. 

Whether it’s a spontaneous weekday family session, a playful studio shoot (hello, AC!), or a quick refresh for your branding photos, there are so many creative ways to make it work. Yes, even when your schedule feels bananas.

WHAT I’VE BEEN UP TO:

Studio Personality Portraits

I've been LOVING in-studio sessions that bring out all the you-ness. Whether it’s a creative entrepreneur showing off their brand vibe or a kiddo rocking their signature smirk, the studio has become a space where personality shines (and no one melts in the heat) 

 Branding & Headshots

If it’s been a minute since you updated your profile pics or need images that finally feel aligned with your brand, let’s chat. We’ll skip the stiff poses and create something that looks like you, feels like you, and works for you.

Family Photos Without the Fuss

Not ready for full-on fall photo season? That’s okay. Summer sessions can be simple, fun, and quick. From backyard giggles to creek-side chaos, we’ll go with the flow and get images you’ll treasure forever (even if your toddler doesn’t stand still for a single second).

Ready to jump in?


Whether you want to refresh your brand, capture a fleeting family stage, or finally get that photo where everyone is smiling (or at least looking in the same direction), I’d love to help you make it happen….stress-free and totally fun.

Extended family sessions can feel a little chaotic… but this family? They brought the love, the laughter, and the fun cousin energy. 

Thanks to this amazing bunch for showing up, showing love, and making it such a joy to capture!

Stole this cute idea from another brand photographer because… how could I not!? It’s such a fun way to introduce (or re-introduce) myself!

Here’s a little snapshot of who I am:

When you need a test subject to show a potential location option, you use what you got....he got the assignment of giving me lots of "poses"....🤣 (and yes, bribery was involved for this cooperation!!)

Annnnd that’s a wrap for 6th grade! This girl “slayed” her first year of Middle School & makes me so proud. 🥹 💕Bring on summer!! ☀️
Photographing kids under five? Let’s just say... you learn to expect the unexpected. 

Between snack breaks, wiggles, and full-on sprints mid-shot, it can feel a little chaotic — but also so full of fun, spontaneity, and real connection.
Happy Father’s Day to all the dads out there... especially the ones who grumble, “Do I really have to be in this photo?” …and then do it anyway. 🙃📸

You stand there, smile-ish, hold the kid, and pretend not to notice when w
June is here!  It’s a time of transition- it's busy, unstructured, and a little chaotic. But it’s also full of those real, meaningful moments that are worth capturing.

Lately, I’ve been especially loving:

We've made it!  We're down 1 tooth (and a lot of hair) but this guy is ready to say goodbye to pre-school and off to kindergarten next year! (Mommy may not be as ready...🥹) but we are all super proud!  Bring on summer! ☀

Happiest of Birthdays to my big bro!  So proud to be your sister.  You're an amazing dad and uncle and I love the childhood memories we share and the adult ones we're making with our own families.  Cheers to you! 🥃 💙
