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.

Welcome to the world, baby E! 💛

This sweet boy was a total rockstar during his lifestyle newborn session, so calm, so snuggly, and already so very loved. 

These quiet little moments? They're everything. And I’m so grateful to help families f
Emma and Ada... truly one of my favorite duos to photograph. 🥹💛 Their session was full of joy, play, and so much love. From spontaneous dance parties to the sweetest quiet moments, these two remind me why I love what I do.

Mother-daughter sessions
A few days in Cape May, NJ with Grammy and Pop Pop—just what we needed.

We had a little rain, but that didn’t stop the beach time, arcade games, and all the ice cream breaks.  Cape May holds a special place since I grew up going with my

Back with one of my favorite extended families—this time at a new spot: Red Gate Park 🌳

It was warm, the kids were happy, and we had full access to fields, running and the ultimate kid magnet: a giant sand pit. 😄

Say hi to baby Zoe 

This sweet in-home newborn session had everything I love: chill vibes, cozy light, and a two-year-old big brother doing exactly what two-year-olds do best - whatever they want. :) 

I always say: don’t worry if things feel
Over the past few months, I’ve continued offering discounted headshots for federal employees navigating unexpected career shifts, job eliminations, or pivoting to something new. It’s not something I post about often because most clients p
