personality and vision. She will also guide you through the process of choosing clothing and wall ensembles to better customize your portrait session. This can be done in person, by telephone, or through email.

{The Portrait Session}

Valerie comes to you!  Portrait Sessions are on-location {any location!} using natural light, or we can shoot a newborn or toddler session at my in-home studio.  my goal is to capture your family or your child in an environment where they are most comfortable.  this allows for their true spirit to shine through in the photographs.  Your session could take up to 2 hours so please plan accordingly.

{Online Gallery Showing}

After your Portrait Session, you will be able to view your artistically processed images from the comfort of your own home via online gallery.  You will have a link on our website to effortlessly view a password protected gallery of all your images available for purchase for you and your family.
