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?
Endorsements
Valerie cares about what I want in my session. She met with us to talk about our expectations and what we could do to make it fun! I loved how the pictures turned out.
SienaI had a specific goal in mind, a marketing package for my dog as she has one CHEWY commercial under her belt and looking for the next. Valerie pulled together the perfect location, the time of day for optimal lighting and showed up on time ready to work. Valerie captured some equally wonderful posed and natural pictures of Gurley Gurl. I look forward to working with her in the future.
Cassandra

FAMILY FUN DAY
I understand being in front of the camera may feel a little awkward. This is why we meet, get to know each other beforehand, and design a fun session for you and your family.
SELECT YOUR ARTWORK
Let’s keep this easy too! During our in-person ordering session, I’ll help you select the best images and artwork that fits your home perfectly.
You should be in the picture too!
What is a movie without the main character? You can fill in the blank, but I think it leaves a lot of unanswered questions and is not that interesting. I am proud to be the person who gets mom in the story and creates images that you want to sit, look at the album and share the stories of your family.
I notice and capture the quirks, personalities, and details that make someone in a family special to those close to them. Sessions are designed to be fun, interactive, and an experience full of play and laughter.
Today and this year are windows in time we don’t get back, and it’s a privilege to be part of your story. I look forward to hearing more about your family and helping you create your legacy for your children.

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!
