Where modern romance meets the art of timeless storytelling
Hello
I'm Valerie
My approach is rooted in presence, not performance. I believe in honoring the beauty that already exists- the energy between two people, the stillness in a glance, the movement of the moment. I allow space for love to unfold organically, capturing it with intention and artful restraint. With gentle direction, I document each story in it's most honest, elegant, and effortless form.
Every couple I photograph has a rhythm, a narrative, and a soul all their own- and that uniqueness deserves to be reflected truthfully.
When i'm not behind the lens, you'll find me by the ocean, where the music plays and the world softens. I'm a wholehearted hugger, a mother to two beautiful daughters, and someone deeply committed to serving others with sincerity and care.
Val shot my rehearsal dinner and wedding and was absolutely AMAZING! I would recommend her to anyone. She is so hands on and you can tell just how passionate she is about what she does.
I will cherish these photos forever!
