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.

Snippets from another magical Christmas morning. Grateful for the love and smiles. 🎅❤️
Checking out Winter City lights in Olney!
When you leave the camera on manual focus and don’t double check… you get a full set of blurry Christmas photos. Every single one. [Whoops.....]

Honestly though, it feels kind of right for this year.

A merry, merry Christmas and wonderful new year from our family to yours! 🎄💓🙌
This is far from comprehensive.  I have so many favorites from 2025 that this could be a full essay.

But here’s a small sampling of the connection and love that showed up in front of my camera this year. These moments are why I keep coming bac
Most people come into a photo session a little unsure.

They worry about feeling awkward.
They’re not sure how to pose.
They wonder if the photos will actually feel like them.

What I hear most often afterward is relief.

Relief that the proces

As the year comes to a close, I’m reflecting on how lucky I am to do this work and work with such thoughtful people.

Some of the best Christmas moments aren’t the ones we plan.

On Sunday I woke up to laughter and the sound of gingerbread house decorating happening in the kitchen. I wasn’t even part of the plan. I just got to walk in and soak it up.

Wrapped and ready.

My last sessions of the year are officially delivered, and I’m stepping into full holiday mode over here. Cozy lights, too many blankets, and a tree that makes the whole house glow.
