Your Story,
Beautifully Told
I've spent the last 10 years perfecting the craft of pausing life's fleeting moments and I am honored you're here. I've developed my style around the desire to make you feel completely comfortable and confident throughout your guided lifestyle photography experience. I will suggest to you where to hold, where to look, when to emote joy or be still in the moment, and the rest will naturally unfold. Your love translated through photography is a gift that keeps on giving.
 
Behind the Lens
Heyyy - my name is Valerie. I’m 37 years old, a self-taught photographer, iced latte lover, sunshine seeker, wife and mom of 3. Born and raised in Naples, Florida, these jaw-dropping sunsets made me obsessed with the beach and photographing the magic it creates.
Crazy but true...my husband and I have been together since we were 13. We have molded each other into the passion-chasing humans we are today and I wouldn't have it any other way.
It's my pleasure to capture your love and emotions during our shoots. I hope to meet you soon <3
Love Stories, Told By You
from Brooke...
Valerie was feeling under the weather and still showed up and my fiancé and I couldn’t tell one bit that she was under the weather. Valerie came prepared, brought her years of experience, and had an amazing personality. I couldn’t have imagined paying anyone else to do my photos. If you’re looking for AMAZING photos and someone who will make your photos a memory you won’t forget, Valerie is your person.
