Reduced Price Headshots for Federal Employees | Silver Spring, MD

February 14, 2025 Ginny Thomas

Supporting Federal Employees in Transition

I had the opportunity to offer free headshots to federal employees (or anyone effected by the new administration) who have recently been let go and are facing an uncertain future. It was a small way to help, and I was truly moved by how much this resonated and brought hope.

While I can’t continue offering free sessions indefinitely, I do want to make professional headshots as accessible as possible for those in need. For the next few months, I’ll be offering discounted studio headshots for federal employees at $150 (regularly $475)—a way to keep this going while covering my costs.


This is also extended to any Washington Post employee effected by the recent layoffs!


Hair and Makeup

If you are interested in a short 35 minute hair/makeup before your session, Valerie Hammer Makeup Artistry is offering an $85 discounted session. Her studio is 2 minutes away and we could coordinate a date where you go straight from her studio to mine.


If this could help you or someone you know, please reach out. And if you’re in a position to help others, whether through resources, connections, or just encouragement, let’s continue finding ways to lift each other up.

Here is a link to others also working to uplift our community during this time.

I realize the irony that the same day I sent out all the info on my spring sessions we got dumped on by more snow and yet another no-school snow day....

But the countdown to spring IS on...seriously. 1 more month. We got this.

I know it still feels like winter…
