There are not enough good things I can say about Valerie! We have used her three times now for family photos (pregnancy announcement, newborn and 1 year cake smash) and couldn't be more thrilled with the results. Being people who don't like having our pictures taken (and don't photograph all that well!), Valerie always makes us feel so comfortable and relaxed in front of the camera. She handles kid nonsense so well and always manages to get the pictures we want no matter how difficult the kids are being. And her pricing is beyond reasonable. She has become a true friend to us! Highly, highly recommend! -Sarah S.
