Creating timeless, heartwarming photos
for perfectly imperfect families
Great Falls, MT Photographer
Family | Maternity | Newborn | Senior
Stress-free planning. Relaxed sessions. Real moments.





The best memories happen when you’re simply being yourselves
It’s the little moments that make your family yours—inside jokes & shared giggles, melt-in-yours-arms hugs, and the pitter-patter of small (or not so small!) feet.
I’m here to capture the messy, beautiful, and perfectly imperfect story of your family—from the silly moments to the heartfelt ones—in photos that don’t just look like you, they feel like you too.
My sessions blend natural, unposed moments and lightly posed shots to create a collection of photos as authentic & unique as your family.
For busy families who want a relaxed + playful session experience
Hi there, I'm Valerie!
As a mom of six, I know firsthand how swiftly childhood moments go by! That’s why I’m passionate about capturing real, perfectly imperfect moments, so you can hold on to those sweet memories even after your kids have grown out of them.
With a focus on genuine connections, natural smiles, and letting kids be kids, my goal is to make your session experience stress-free, relaxed, and even (dare I say it?) fun!
