Get to know me
Hey! This is Valerie.
I create bold, and intentional imagery for families and couples who want more than just a snapshot. My work leans into real emotion, warm tones, and the in-between moments that tell the true story of who you are.
I believe photos should feel something. They should look like your life, honest, imperfect, full of depth, and rich with connection. Whether I’m photographing a quiet moment between parents, a couple laughing in golden light, or the energy of a growing family, I’m always chasing authenticity over perfection.
After spending years in Germany, I’m now moving back to Texas and bringing a fresh perspective with me. One shaped by travel, culture, and the way everyday moments can look cinematic when captured with intention.
I’m not here just to take pictures.
I’m here to create art from your boldest, most meaningful moments.
More about me
I’m a mom to two beautiful daughters and married to my best friend, who’s been by my side through every move, every season, and every dream I’ve chased. My family is the heart behind why I love capturing meaningful, honest moments for others.
Outside of photography, you can usually find me with a good book in hand, exploring new restaurants (I’m a total foodie), connecting with new people, or enjoying a wine tasting with friends. I love slow evenings, good conversation, and discovering little spots that make a city feel like home, which is especially meaningful as we move from Germany to Abilene, Texas.
