Once a year, the line between art, fashion, and photography disappears—and something iconic takes its place.

Welcome to the Kayla Douglas Artistry VIP Event of the Year: an exclusive, invitation-worthy experience designed for photographers who demand more than just a portfolio update. This is where couture collides with concept. Where luxury lives in the details. And where every frame tells a story that’s never been told before.

For one night only, we transform The Lexi Hotel in Las Vegas into a multi-set editorial wonderland. Attendees gain access to 10 to 12 fully curated scenes, each hand-styled and art directed by Kayla Douglas, featuring original couture gowns and custom-built designs crafted exclusively for this experience.

This year, five of those sets are co-directed in collaboration with world-renowned fashion photographer and educator Lindsay Adler, in partnership with Nanlite. Expect elevated lighting, bold composition, and visual narratives that push creative boundaries.

From 6:00 PM to 10:00 PM, photographers rotate through each immersive scene—guided, inspired, and lit to perfection. Following the main event, guests are invited to indulge in an optional VIP Afterparty from 10:00 PM to 1:00 AM, featuring an open bar, curated beats, and a dance floor worthy of the runway. ($105 add-on) includes a fully open bar from 10-1am with music. Feel free to bring a swimsuit and enjoy the pool as well.Ā 

Discounted hotel rates available for guests staying on site at The Lexi. I will email you a confirmation code with a discount code only to be used for VIP Party Ticket Holders.Ā 

This is not a workshop. It’s not a styled shoot.
This is the event.
And it sells out in less than a week. Every. Single. Year.

WHAT PREVIOUS VIPS HAVE TO SAY:

Kayla’s VIP events are over the top, crazy creative, absolutely stunning with incredible lighting and stunning models. She pours every bit of her soul into these events and it shows. Add to that her AMAZING couture designs and you have a perfect shoot. Vegas 2025 was off the hook and I cannot wait for 2026! An ENTIRE hotel? Where do I sign up?

This photography workshop was a masterclass in atmosphere—set in a breathtaking location with top-tier models, hair and makeup artists who elevated every frame. Hosted by creatives who truly understand the soul of fine art photography, it felt like stepping into a living canvas where every detail was curated for magic. Having lived this experience, I can't wait for the next opportunity to create something just as unforgettable.

I got the pleasure of Attending the VIP event hosted by Kayla in Las Vegas last year. It was exactly what I didn’t know I needed. As someone who’s been in the photography world for a while, it’s easy to fall into routines and start feeling a little burnt out. But that event completely reignited my creativity. Every detail was thoroughly thought out. It wasn’t just about getting pretty photos (even though I most certainly did!)—it was about reconnecting with why I started doing this in the first place. If you ever get the chance to attend one of Kayla’s events, jump on it!!!

I look forward to Kayla Douglas’s VIP Party every year during WPPI. Kayla and her team put so much care into every detail. From the models and styling to the overall vibe, everything was thoughtfully designed to make the experience fun and inspiring. The setups were extravagant and unique, all perfectly matched to the location and theme. The energy made it easy to connect, shoot, and create without pressure. Everyone there seemed genuinely excited to be part of it. What always stands out to me is how kind and supportive the organizers and other photographers are. Every year, I’m reminded how lucky I am to be part of a community that’s not only talented but genuinely passionate about what they do. I left feeling inspired and creatively recharged.

Some of the most satisfying things I’ve done is attending my colleagues photowalks & events. The results are always an amazing experience. Creatives just sharing a space doing what we love to do. Last year, I had the pleasure of attending an epic vip event during WPPI week. Hosted by Kayla Douglas Artistry. This was at the most unique venues to date in my books. I had the most memorable experience. The sets and designs that were carefully curated were spectacular. It was a vibe unlike I’ve ever experienced. The whole event was so well thought out and perfectly placed, everything about the location was phenomenal. I was transported to an era, where only in my dreams had I envisioned. My heart was racing with excitement and adrenaline, the best natural high in my photography adventures. For anyone interested in a level of distinct beauty, designs and photography sets, do not miss Kayla’s stunning curations. She is definitely blessed with visions that satiates the photographer’s palette.

I had such a great time at Kayla Douglas Artistry’s VIP Event in Vegas! From start to finish, it was an incredible experience. The atmosphere was vibrant and creative, and the variety of models Kayla brought together was nothing short of impressive. Each one brought something unique to the table, making every look feel dynamic. But what really stole the show were the gowns and designs. Kayla’s artistry and attention to detail are next level...each piece felt like it was made to make a statement, and they absolutely did. From flowing fabrics to bold patterns and accessories, everything was styled to perfection. Beyond just the aesthetics, the event was genuinely fun to attend. The energy in the room was electric, and it was inspiring to be surrounded by such talent and passion. I also walked away with some incredible shots. Huge thanks to Kayla and her team for putting together such a beautiful and well-executed experience!

As a rural photographer I didn't know what to expect. I saw big name photographers and model's listed as attending. I felt completely out of my league before the whole thing started. Kept telling myself, as long as I get a few good photos I'm happy. I was blown away. The models, venue, hair & makeup, the outifts (of course) weren't anything like I've seen before. The lighting being provided was helpful!! The lighting experts were great to listen to and learn from. They made sure people got the shots they wanted, and that others stayed out of the way. Let's just say I had to change memory cards, I had a lot of photos I was happy with, like I took that?! I can't wait for the next one!
