Reduced Price Headshots for Federal Employees | Silver Spring, MD

February 14, 2025 Ginny Thomas

Supporting Federal Employees in Transition

Recently 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 $375)—a way to keep this going while covering my costs.


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.

🎄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. 

The camera?  yes, important. 

But this guy....I owe a LOT of sweet smiles and pure laughs from my under 7 au
Giggles, golden leaves, and picturesque bridges.  Livvy’s fall session at Sligo Creek was pure autumn joy. 🍁 She nailed the “fake laugh” better than anyone and made our session a breeze. #FallFamilyPhotos #SligoCreek #DMVPhotograph
Meet little Theo, who just had his very first Christmas mini session! 🎄✨ This little guy was totally mesmerized by the sparkly tree lights and gave us all the holiday feels. Sometimes the magic is all in those tiny moments of wonder. ❤️ #FirstChrist
Holiday photos with friends are just that much more fun. 

Val @mizchynuhdoll (my go-to makeup artist) and her crew brought all the good energy.

Studio warmth + quick outdoor shots = the best mix.
Also, shout out to potty jokes for breaking the ice.
