EXIST IN PHOTOS


FUN EXPERIENCE


CELEBRATE YOU


They grow up so fast

As a mom, I get it. Your focus is making sure your kids are taken care of, and you have your phone to catch the daily moments. But are you realizing you are missing in the images from these everyday moments?

  • Are you worried you don’t look like you did ten years ago?
  • Don’t have the right clothes?
  • Want to lose five more pounds?

HAPPY CLIENTS

“Valerie was always professional, timely and skilled when I worked with her. She has a great eye and brings her clients a polished finished product. We worked with her on baby and children’s images and she was able to capture both the exuberance of my 2 year old and the fragility of my premie twins with expertise. Thank you Valerie for taking such wonderful pictures of the twins in the NICU.  You managed to capture my boys beautifully despite the less then photographic setting.”
Dana Spencer
“Words cannot express how much I LOVE Valerie. Right from the beginning I was completely comfortable and confident with her. She provided hair and makeup the day of our maternity shoot. She brought different props to use and had such great ideas. I’m 110% happy with the service she provided. I’m so pleased with our photos that we now have for a lifetime to come.”

“Such a fun morning! We are lucky enough to participate in the first annual Santa on the Beach event with Images by Valerie.  It was such a fun event, and definately a new family tradition!  Looking forward to participating in years to come!”

ABOUT VALERIE

Hi, I am Valerie. I am a boutique photographer, Santa Barbara native, and, more importantly, a mom. This means I understand how important your kids are to you.

I have also found that as a mom, we are so busy capturing the moments and hiding behind our phone or camera that we end up missing from the family story we are creating to pass on to our children. And Face it- YOU, Mom, Are the main character in this story.

I have also found that having images of themselves on the wall brings a sense of pride and self-esteem to our children that is lost when the images only live on drives and phones.

Bringing families together through experience, fun, and laughter has helped make photography less like a job and more like adding to my extended family.

I’m excited to meet you and yours!
