Great Falls, MT Photographer

Hi! I’m Valerie, a Great Falls family photographer. As a mom, I know just how fast kids grow—and how quickly seasons of life slip by. While we can’t stop the passing of time (much as we sometimes wish we could), we can freeze it, just for a minute.

Capturing the moments you’ll want to remember

I’ll help you hang on to the moments that matter by capturing images that preserve the sweet snuggles, the joyful laughter, and all the love & connection that make your family yours.

These are the photos that will make you smile & relive those memories every time you see them.

"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!!"

A little about me

Valerie Smith is a Great Falls, MT photographer

As a mom of six, I know all about the energy kids bring with them—and I’ve learned that the best moments happen when they’re free to be themselves. That’s why my sessions are kid-friendly, low-pressure, and fun, with plenty of room for movement and connection.

You’ll walk away with joyful, heartfelt images you’ll treasure long after this season has passed.

I believe the best memories happen

when you’re simply being yourselves
