November is that beautiful in-between — when Northern California turns gold, the air feels crisp, and the calendar fills with reasons to pause and celebrate. At GVP Studios, this month is about capturing the warmth of connection: families bundled up under fall trees, pups posing in holiday bandanas, and the sparkle of studio lights turning simple moments into gifts that last.

There’s something quietly magical about September at GVP Studios—our courtyard is bursting with bougainvillea in full blush, and the afternoon light turns every portrait into art. This month, we’re keeping things lush and honest: fall minis in Sacramento and Napa, our doors wide open for Sac Open Studios on September 13–14, and a sprinkle of Halloween charm for cozy studio shoots. Plus, we’re looking ahead to holiday minis and always keeping our heart open to your milestones, memories, and stories.

This month, GVP Studios is opening up our first floor event space for scheduled and drop-in 5-minute portraits. August is the perfect time to capture fresh photos for back to school and professional headshots, and our new Barkday Photos for Pups! Plan ahead for our location participating in Sac Open Studios, Halloween Minis, Holiday Minis, and Fall Photos.

We hope you're having a wonderful summer! We're excited to share some updates, special offers, and upcoming opåçportunities to capture your milestone moments including extended lavender sessions, lake and beach sessions, bougainvillea portraits, back to school picture day, and upcoming Tahoe travel sessions.
