sessions
Forget flowers. Skip the heart-shaped chocolates. This Valentine’s Day, give a gift that lasts—professional portraits at GVP Studios.
Whether you’re shopping for your partner, your parents, or yourself (self-love is in, by the way), a gift card for a portrait session delivers something few gifts can: confidence, connection, and memories that won’t melt in a box.
Here’s everything you need to know about why this gift works—and how to make it personal. We love session gifts for parents with their kids, couples, or the ultimate one you love. Yourself!!
print gifts
Surprise your loved one with a beautifully curated gift of their photos in a linen bound album, matted prints that can be displayed on an easel, or framed artwork that reminds them of your thoughtfulness all year round.
Why a Portrait Session Is the Perfect Valentine’s Day Gift
It’s Personal.
No two sessions are the same. Whether it's a romantic couple's shoot, a solo confidence boost, or a family session, each one is tailored to the people in front of the lens.
It’s Thoughtful.
A photo session says, “I see you. You’re worth capturing.” That means more than any cliché gift you can grab at the last minute.
It’s Timeless.
Long after the roses wilt, the photos remain. You’re giving a piece of art that celebrates who they are today.
Who Should You Gift a GVP Studios Session To?
Your Partner
You’ve taken the selfies. Now step it up. Surprise them with a styled couples session. Dress up, laugh together, and walk away with photos that capture your connection—without the awkward restaurant photos or blurry phone pics.
Your Best Friend
The one who always hypes you up deserves the same energy. Gift a BFF portrait session. Add a playlist, make it fun, and capture your friendship in a way you’ll both love looking back on.
Your Mom (or Dad)
They’ve been behind the camera your whole life. Let’s get them in front of it. Whether it's a solo portrait session or a generation shoot, this is a gift they’ll talk about forever.
Yourself
Yes, you can buy yourself a Valentine’s gift. Actually, you should. Whether you’re celebrating growth, a new chapter, or just want to feel amazing, a solo session is the ultimate form of self-love.
