LA Fire Victims and First Responders

Family Photoshoots

Saturday, May 31 & Sunday, June 1, 2025

Get a 10-minute photoshoot and take home printed portraits.

Join The Vanity Portrait Studio at the Los Angeles Convention Center for a family photoshoot dedicated to those directly impacted by the LA fires and the heroes who responded—we're proud to give back to the families who gave and lost so much. With enough space to accommodate several hundred families, we invite you to join us in this weekend of healing and hope through portraiture.

Each family will receive a complimentary 10-minute session including professional posing, on-site editing, and ready-to-frame black-and-white portraits to take home the same day.

It’s a chance to create new memories, celebrate fresh starts, and honor the strength of our community.

Because through it all, we remain LA strong—together.

Photoshoot Experience

  • Families of first responders and those impacted by the LA fires are invited to register for a complimentary 10-minute photoshoot at the LA Convention Center.

    On the day of your session, your family will be posed against a classic white backdrop and photographed in timeless black and white by one of our professional photographers. Our on-site editor will select your best images, and within minutes, you'll receive digital copies and beautifully matted 5x7 prints ready to frame and display.

  • Our professional photographers will guide your family to find your best poses in a fun, uplifting 10-minute session. Your best images will be selected and curated on-site, so you can immediately email them to yourself and take home beautifully matted 5x7 prints—perfect for displaying or gifting

  • While the number of photos may vary depending on group size and combinations, we aim to provide at least one landscape and one portrait image per grouping. You’ll receive unlimited access to your digital gallery via email and one physical copy of each image printed.

  • Just bring yourself, your favorite outfit (solid dark colors look best in black and white), and your nearest and dearest. Please only bring the family members listed on your registration. Unfortunately, four-legged friends must stay at home—they aren’t allowed inside the Convention Center.

  • Each session can accommodate anywhere from 1 to 10 people. Larger groupings may be more challenging to photograph and limit the number of images our team is able to take. Please make sure you include all guests on your registration.
