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.

Sure, smiling-at-the-camera photos are great.
But when you tell your kid to “wear something silly and just have fun”? That’s when the good stuff shows up.

Personality Portraits are all about letting your kids be fully themselves: e

So grateful for these kind words from Vicki! 💛 I totally understand that photo sessions with little ones can feel a bit overwhelming (trust me, I’ve been there). But we take our time, keep things low-pressure, and somehow it always comes toget
Studio smiles + bow ties = instant joy 
I had the sweetest session with this amazing family in my Silver Spring studio, and I can’t get over how adorable these little ones looked. Thanks for trusting me to capture this moment in time!

PSA: Wiggly kids = the BEST photos. 

If you’ve ever worried your little one is “too wild” for a photo session… I’ve got good news: the wiggles, the chaos, the constant motion.....that’s where it's at!

Momma's not quite ready, but the tooth fairy will find their way none-the-less! 😮🦷
If it makes you feel any better, the elusive “everyone smiling at the camera” is hard for us all! But just embrace the season!! 😆🤪 grateful for my mom & being a mom! Happy Mother’s Day to all!
I post this every year because I know Mothers Day can be a great day but also a really hard day for many. Sending ❤️ to all the women out there, no matter your journey. 🥰💐
