In each Portrait Gala session, we go beyond photography. Each gala starts in weeks in advance with a custom portrait session for the guest of honor. We curate an experience where every click echoes elegance and every moment is etched in time. Our approach is not just about capturing images; it’s about crafting a visual narrative that reflects the unique beauty of your celebration. The selected images are then out on display at the Jessica Vallia Studio & Gallery for your very own on site baby shower, bridal shower, or senior reception. Once the event concludes, they are wrapped and ready to take home and hang on your own walls!

QUESTIONS
FREQUENTLY ASKED
You can choose to bring children to your event. Depending on the event, you may want to consider having an adult only party and get a sitter for the event. There will not be activities on site for children but they are, of course, welcome in our studio & gallery. JVP does have a policy in place for damage on site and this is a working gallery space.
Can we bring our children to the celebration?
Bridal Galas are just about the bride! The groom "COULD" come to the session but most wouldn't want to ruin the big day. This is centered around creating some pieces of art just for the bride in a stress free environment prior to the excitement of the wedding day. We would consider engagement photography for joint wedding showers on a limited basis.
What is the day like for a bridal session? Can the Groom Come?
Portrait Galas are offered for Baby Showers, Bridal Showers, and High School Senior Receptions. The goal is to celebrate the guest of honor in a way that is truly unique. Each guest of honor is at the heart of the celebration from planning stages to leaving with their wall art for their home.
What kind of celebrations can we plan a gala for?
YES! These were designed to be gifted to a guest of honor. We want to be able to help you achieve two things. 1. Give an epic and unforgettable gift. 2. Plan a celebration centered around the guest of honor for a truly special day to remember for years to come!
