I'm Val — a photographer who believes you have a one of a kind, naturally beautiful love story to tell.

love story from marriage to motherhood has taken on an even deeper meaning to me. If you are anything like me, you move through this season of life cherishing your family

like you never want to forget. Falling in love, honoring your partner, exchanging vows, bringing new life into the world, and gracefully navigating everyday challenges is an incredible journey of strength. The photographs we create together will become cherished heirlooms, woven into the tapestry of your family’s legacy. One day, your children—and their children—will piece them together to tell a timeless love story rooted in resilience, devotion, and enduring beauty. Together, we’ll create something lasting—an honest, artful reflection of your life. 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 heritage, Bay Area roots, servant heart, growing family, adoration of nature, and classic love stories. 

Till we get our chance to meet, shine on!
