"I couldn’t believe how beautiful our pictures turned out! I was so nervous to have photos done with 4 littles that don’t always cooperate for the camera, but Valerie was so kind and patient and did an amazing job with them. So happy with our experience and with my family photos!!"

-Lindsay R.

Hi there, I'm Valerie!

As a mom of six, I know firsthand how swiftly childhood moments go by - and how tough it sometimes is to get kids to cooperate for photos. That’s why my sessions are kid-friendly, low-pressure, and fun.
