Hello there. As your new Bay Area wedding or portrait photographer pal, call me Val.
After living coast to coast and volunteering overseas, I learned that the best thing to hold on to in life is each other. As a newlywed and first time mom, I am in service of every extraordinary woman and those you cherish most. It would be an honor to shine light on your one-of-a-kind journey of strength, beauty, and love.
