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

After volunteering overseas and living coast to coast, I found a charming Bay Area island to call home and grow a family. Inspired to be in service of every extraordinary woman, it would be an honor to shine light on your journey of strength, beauty, and love with those who matter most.

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.
