Hey, I'm Val! I'm originally from the suburbs of Chicago. I lived there up until I got tired of the cold and was able to move out.... So I attended college at Florida International University in Miami where I received my bachelors for Hospitality & Tourism Management. Needless to say, best city to live in while you're in. college, but definitely not the city for me. 

2 years later, I decided to move to Austin, TX without ever having visited first. I was so sure in my decision and I was not disappointed the moment I arrived. Ever since, Austin has blessed me with countless opportunities. From hospitality jobs, to nannying the sweetest boy, to eventually pursuing my photography career in 2020.
