I'm Val — a photographer who believes every woman is a woman of strength with a uniquely beautiful love story to tell.

Origin, Latin. Meaning, Strong. Healthy. Brave. Pronunciation, Val-ə-ree. Gender, Female.

The strength you have to fall in love, respect your partner, create life, nurture a child, and show up everyday with grace even when life gets tough is an artful journey I relate to and deeply admire. You have an inner light - radiating actions of infinite love, kindness, courage, and confidence - that is not only worthy of being felt but also seen. 
It would be an honor to capture your journey with those you cherish most as art.

When I’m not behind the camera or exploring the world, you can find me pouring my heart into my little one Dylan.

It’s been a journey to healing, a gratitude practice, a way of visual storytelling, and a joy. My photography is inspired by my Mexican American culture, Bay Area roots, international travels, growing family, adoration of nature, and classic love stories. 

Till we get our chance to meet, shine on!
