December at GVP Studios: A Heartfelt Thank You & Bright Plans Ahead 🎄
As the year winds down, we at GVP Studios are feeling profoundly grateful — and full of hope for the year ahead. To all our wonderful clients who stepped into our loft, welcomed us into your lives, and trusted us to document your most precious moments … thank you. 2025 has been a beautiful year of collaboration, celebration, and so many milestones.
Whether we had the honor of photographing your engagement, wedding, graduation, baby’s first year, family gathering, or pet portrait — or helping you build a visual identity for your business — we feel privileged to have been part of your story. You let us turn life’s fleeting moments into heirloom-quality artwork, and that means everything to us.
What’s New at the Studio (and What’s Happening Now)
🎁 Holiday Minis & Festive Sessions
Our 2025 Holiday Mini Sessions wrapped up with joy — cozy, heartfelt portraits in front of our beautiful flocked-tree backdrop, holiday-themed studio sets, and plenty of laughter. From kids in pajamas to pups with bow ties, these mini sessions were all about capturing warmth and joy in a relaxed, stress-free setting. We added one bonus day in December to wrap up the holiday sessions.
📸 Sessions for Every Kind of Milestone
This year we offered — and continue to offer — a wide range of sessions: family portraits, dog photos, maternity and newborn shoots, baby milestone packages, senior and graduation portraits, branding/headshots for professionals, and of course engagement and wedding photography.
Our loft studio in Midtown Sacramento — with its natural light, exposed brick, private courtyard, and seasonal-styled sets — served as a comfortable, creative home for all these memories.
🔹 Brand Content & Professional Sessions
We continued to support small businesses, entrepreneurs, and professionals with custom branding and headshot sessions tailored to their unique stories. Whether in-studio or on-location, we helped clients refresh their online presence — from social media content to website imagery — with thoughtful, visually engaging photos.
📆 Looking Ahead to 2026
If you haven’t yet booked, now is a perfect time to reserve your session for 2026. As we shared recently: “The best time to book your 2026 memories is NOW!” We are offering 2025 prices for 2026 sessions through the end of the month.
We’re excited to continue offering the sessions you love — from milestone portraits to branding content — and to help you plan ahead for a year filled with memory-making moments.
A Few Favorite Memories (and What Clients Have to Say)
We feel humbled by the kind words our clients have shared this year. From business professionals who said our headshots “looked so good people thought they were AI” to families who appreciated the calm, easy energy we bring to stressful shoots — these testimonials remind us why we do what we do.
We love seeing newborns grow into toddlers, high-school seniors stepping into the next phase, couples beginning their life together, families reunited … and pets wagging their way onto the wall of fame.
What’s Coming in 2026
🌸 New seasonal sessions and holiday minis (because life keeps happening — and every season deserves to be remembered).
📅 Continued brand content and headshot sessions for professionals and small businesses looking to refresh their image.
🐾 More family, pet, maternity, and baby-milestone sessions.
✨ Extended booking availability for popular session types, so it’s easier than ever to plan ahead.
🎨 Continued commitment to delivering heirloom-quality prints, albums, and custom artwork — because memories deserve more than a screen.
From Us to You — With Thanks
