About Me


Hello! My name is Valerie and I am 30 years ~young~ born and raised in Rockland County, New York. I attended College at the Art Institute of Philadelphia in 2015. I majored in Photography and graduated with my Bachelor's Degree in Science. After Graduation I decided to take on Freelance since I enjoy photographing multiple types of sessions. I specialize in natural lighting and have an eye for detail. Through out each session I continue to learn more value in photographing the most important moments.


While being my client, just know I will not leave your side until we get everything you envisioned - I have a lot of patience. I don't see you as just a client - I enjoy building friendships and respect all of your visions and will listen to you! These past three years have been a lot of fun capturing moments you will cherish for a lifetime. I always engage in the moment - your family is my family for the day so let's have fun!


I have photographed all over NY- NYC, Westchester, Long Island. Also photograph in parts of NJ. For three years now I have been photographing bridal showers, rehearsal dinners, portraits, events, birthday parties - if you feel like I am the right fit for you please fill out my inquiry form and would love to work with you!
