In a Past Client's Words
" I can not explain the emotions that ran out of me when Valerie showed me the first shot on the back of the camera…it was so overwhelming- in all the good ways! I cried…I’ve always looked at the photographs that Valerie posts and think, God those women are beautiful…I’ll never look like that!
But you know what…I did 😳🥺😍"

This isn't about looking a certain way. It's about doing something amazing for yourself.
And showing you your own strength and beauty and how you see yourself and carry that long after.
Almost every client walks in thinking she might not be able to do the poses or she's not photogenic. That changes fast once we're in the studio.
I don't photograph models. I photograph everyday women, and I guide you through every step so you always know exactly what to do, even if you're nervous. I direct every pose, every expression. You just show up.
You don't need feel completely ready to start. You just need to take the step to get yourself into my studio. I've got the rest, I promise!

❝ Going through this experience has been unbelievably rewarding. It’s so easy to be your own worst critic and tear yourself down. Val is supportive throughout the entire process and takes the anxiety of this experience out it with such an ease. ✨️
– Rhea.
❝ At the beginning, before the session started I was extremely nervous and self conscious. Valerie does an amazing job and explains/helps with all outfit choices and viewing the pictures. This was supposed to be a gift and in the end it turned into a confidence builder for myself. I think every woman should do this for themselves!
– Kimberly.
❝ If you’re even slightly on the fence, especially if you’re nervous or don’t think you’ll feel comfortable in front of the camera, Valerie is the person you want behind it. She puts so much thought, detail, and care into the entire experience, and it truly shows.

Valerie was incredibly calming and unassuming, super patient with someone not used to posing in front of a camera, and most importantly so supportive of the message she delivers with each click of her camera she takes - woman empowerment and beauty comes in all shapes and sizes.

This was the most amazing experience. I was nervous because I have never done this type of professional photos. Valerie made me feel so welcome and comfortable from the moment I contacted the studio. The day I went, my hair and makeup was done so beautifully I cried when I saw myself. My photos all turned out so amazing it was incredibly hard to choose! I hope I get to do this again. I highly recommend!!.

Valerie provides a one of a kind experience from start to finish, a true professional. She makes you feel beautiful in an environment that is comfortable, safe, and stunning. I was nervous going in but soon felt like I was with my best friends. I would recommend a boudoir session to anyone, of any age, size, or color. You will not be disappointed!
