A photographer who’s always chasing light — the kind that turns ordinary moments into memories you can feel. I grew up outside Chicago, but after years of snow and gray skies, I knew I needed a change of scenery. My journey took me to Miami for college, where I studied Hospitality & Tourism Management, and eventually led me to Austin — a city I hadn’t even visited before moving. From the moment I arrived, I felt at home.
Austin has shaped me in so many ways: from hospitality jobs and nannying the sweetest little humans, to finally diving into my dream of capturing life through my lens. My work lives in the quiet, honest moments — laughter that happens without notice, glances that tell a story, the magic of sunlight painting everyday life. I’m here to create photographs that feel like you — full of warmth, connection, and a little bit of wonder.
Welcome, I'm val
Whether we’re walking cobblestone streets in Paris or standing barefoot in a lavender field, I approach each session with presence, calm, and intention. I believe in soft direction over stiff posing, organic movement over perfection, and thoughtful edits that preserve the mood of the moment.
Each gallery I deliver is crafted not just for now, but for the years ahead—for the day you forget the way your partner looked at you mid-laugh, or the way your child’s hand fit into yours.
