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.

Some families feel like old friends, and this one is definitely that. We’ve shared some sweet seasons together, and their Christmas PJ's mini at my Silver Spring studio was another great one!

Our neighborhood Santa visit…I’m not sure who was more uncomfortable, but he tried!!
Here are a few simple tips to help you use your phone to capture all the fun, cozy and chaotic moments happening around you this season. No fancy gear needed. Just good light, real smiles and the little details that make the holidays feel like your f
🎄15 minutes. One cozy studio. A whole lot of joy.

This sweet family comes back every year for their Christmas mini session; and I totally get why.

• It’s quick (we’re done in 15)
• The studio is warm and weather-proof
•
“We only need one good photo…”

Yep. And sometimes that one photo is hiding behind:
• 12 blinking shots
• 5 look-aways
• 3 epic meltdowns
• 2 runaways
• and one heroic parent who kept smiling through it all
Happy “just trying to get 1 good family photo” season to all who celebrate….

I feel your pain & experience it myself, just in case you thought I was immune….😜

It just proves it takes anyone except the mom to get that
Love our Thanksgiving weekend tradition of bringing Christmas to our home! 

And these sweet moments of getting along & making memories! 🥰🎄May it last all season long…😜😃

The Moore crew brought all the personality for their studio Christmas mini session. Their three year old and five month old were active and engaged - we played, we pivoted, and we still captured the cutest moments. Loved this holiday session so much.
This family walked into the studio ready to go. Big smiles, easy laughs, and the sweetest sibling bond that made this Christmas mini session feel waaaaay too easy. Some sessions are calm in all the right ways and this was one of them. Loved creating
The busy fall season is allllmost coming to a close (!!) and I wanted to pay tribute to the true MVP of ++almost++ all my family sessions.
