Hi there. I'm your new photographer pal, Val.

After living coast to coast and exploring the world, I planted new roots with my husband on a charming island in the Bay Area of sunny California. In the service of others, I find myself inspired to view the world through a positive lens and shine light on empowered women's untold stories of strength, beauty, and love.

Oh my gosh Valarie, these are gorgeous.

I wish I could express to you how much it means to me to have these beautiful photos of us. It's an incredible feeling. I'm so, so grateful.
