My Background as An Asheville Photographer
I have been photographing families for 7+ years. With each session photographed I have gained knowledge and expertise. I am confident in my skillset which means I can put all of my attention on YOU and your loved ones during our session.
Valerie creates a fun and relaxed environment in which she works her magic, even with the least willing participants (like our dog Edie!). Maternity photos, newborn photos, family photography, Christmas themed fun and our recent 1 year old's birthday party...Valerie has captured them all. We recommend her without hesitation. Our gallery wall continues to expand with stunning photos made beautiful by Valerie's unique touch and edits that memorialize the most precious of times. After working with us, we recommended her to our parents. They desired a simple portrait session for their 50th anniversary. These portraits are INCREDIBLE and will be cherished for years to come. Look no further...you've found the best.

Valerie is amazing! She is kind, patient and an extremely talented artist. We have had two sessions with her: fine art Santa minis and a fine art studio maternity session and we were very pleased with the process and absolutely love the images she created! If you're looking for a photographer that produces fine art images and provides clients with heirloom printed products. She is your girl!

Valerie did our newborn pictures. It was so difficult finding a photographer during the pandemic. When I messaged Valerie she instantly responded and set up a time with me that was two days away. It is very important to get the pictures taken within 7-10 days old. I talked to Valerie about the types of pictures I would like and she listened and was so nice! As soon as we were ready to start taking pictures my baby would not cooperate. It took us 30 minutes to get him to settle down. Valerie never once complained. She was so patient and kind throughout the whole session. I have always dreamed of newborn pictures and Valerie exceeding my dreams. She was so gentle with my baby during the whole session. After the four hour session we were all exhausted. I received my pictures so fast and I loved every single shot! So much that I ended up purchasing every one of them. I highly recommend Valerie! You will not regret choosing her as your photographer!

Working with Valerie was amazing. She took the time before our photo session to walk me through outfit choices and color palettes, patiently answering all my questions and taking the time to make sure I felt ready for our session. During the session she was professional and personable, instantly making my kids feel comfortable and she managed to get multiple shots with natural smiles and laughs! She takes time with her clients, making sure you get the pictures you want during the session and did not make us feel like her time was rushed at all. During our first session with her, it started to rain and she magically produced a clear umbrella and continued taking photos, which ended up being some of my favorite pictures of our session! We will for sure be using Valerie for family sessions in the future and cannot recommend her enough.
