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.

Stole this cute idea from another brand photographer because… how could I not!? It’s such a fun way to introduce (or re-introduce) myself!

Here’s a little snapshot of who I am:

When you need a test subject to show a potential location option, you use what you got....he got the assignment of giving me lots of "poses"....🤣 (and yes, bribery was involved for this cooperation!!)

Annnnd that’s a wrap for 6th grade! This girl “slayed” her first year of Middle School & makes me so proud. 🥹 💕Bring on summer!! ☀️
Photographing kids under five? Let’s just say... you learn to expect the unexpected. 

Between snack breaks, wiggles, and full-on sprints mid-shot, it can feel a little chaotic — but also so full of fun, spontaneity, and real connection.
Happy Father’s Day to all the dads out there... especially the ones who grumble, “Do I really have to be in this photo?” …and then do it anyway. 🙃📸

You stand there, smile-ish, hold the kid, and pretend not to notice when w
June is here!  It’s a time of transition- it's busy, unstructured, and a little chaotic. But it’s also full of those real, meaningful moments that are worth capturing.

Lately, I’ve been especially loving:

We've made it!  We're down 1 tooth (and a lot of hair) but this guy is ready to say goodbye to pre-school and off to kindergarten next year! (Mommy may not be as ready...🥹) but we are all super proud!  Bring on summer! ☀

Happiest of Birthdays to my big bro!  So proud to be your sister.  You're an amazing dad and uncle and I love the childhood memories we share and the adult ones we're making with our own families.  Cheers to you! 🥃 💙

Sure, smiling-at-the-camera photos are great.
But when you tell your kid to “wear something silly and just have fun”? That’s when the good stuff shows up.

Personality Portraits are all about letting your kids be fully themselves: e
