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

As the daughter of a single mother, I grew up understanding the value of love, honesty, loyalty, and community.

You move through this season of life cherishing your community like you never want to forget. Falling in love, respecting your partner, saying "I do," or creating life and nurturing a child - all while showing up with grace through life's challenges - is an incredible journey of strength. These special, everyday moments - big or small - are 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 heritage, Bay Area roots, servant heart, growing family, adoration of nature, and classic love stories. 

Till we get our chance to meet, shine on!
