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.

✨ Because moms deserve to be in the story too. ✨

So often, mothers are the memory-keepers—snapping the milestones, capturing the everyday—but rarely stepping into the frame themselves. That’s why I love offering mommy & me sess
When I arrived to photograph baby Rosie’s newborn session, her parents had one big concern: Would Charlie want to be in the photos?

As a 3-year-old, it could have gone either way—shy, wiggly, or just “over it.” But instead, C
So not technicalllllllly her first day, but we're backdating a bit since we didn't get actual first day photos. (we'll never remember in 20 years....always still take the photo! 😉)

7th grade! So proud of who this girl is and who she is becoming. Su
How many of us are still using that one photo where we cropped out a friend or spouse? 🙋‍♀️
Julie and Rachel both came to me needing updated LinkedIn photos—but what they left with was confidence and portraits that truly reflect who they a
Tis the season for apple picking!! We got to Butler's orchard last weekend before the fall festivities officially began and got lots of yummy apples! 🍎🍏 Got a favorite apple recipe?? Let me know!

This weekend, my son taught me a little lesson about courage at Butler's Orchard.

At first, he was terrified of the big "potato sack" slide. We convinced him to try it with me first and his expression pretty much says it all. 

But once we
At-home sessions have a way of slowing everything down. No rushing, no staging- just the real moments that matter most. Rosie’s 6 month session was such a sweet reminder that the ordinary spaces of our homes are often the most beautiful backdro
