Love is an everyday adventure we live and feel, but often times don’t see. How about you spend the day roaming around, getting lost in each other, and surrendering to all the excitement of what's to come. Then I can show you just how beautiful all the love you feel is through my lens.
You can call me Val!
Being surrounded by nature in the outskirts of Buffalo, NY, it became a part of who I am. Wandering through fields and exploring the outdoors has brought me peace since childhood — something I carry with me in everything I do.
While pursuing my graphic design degree, photography was something I did simply for fun. After the sudden passing of my dad, I was reminded that time is never promised and that the moments we hold onto matter. My love for photography deserved more than being just a hobby, so I took a leap and shifted my focus toward telling stories through photography.
Starting my own business was equal parts exciting and terrifying, but I learned that the most meaningful paths often begin with taking the step, even when you’re scared.
Today, I pour my heart into serving lovers, everyday adventurers, and nature seekers. I’m endlessly grateful that I get to preserve the moments and memories they’ll carry with them for a lifetime.

Twenty years ago, I found the kind of love I had always dreamed of. I met Kevin, and the rest is history. He has been my anchor through every season of life — a steady presence as we’ve grown, changed, and continued choosing each other along the way. Every time I meet a couple, there’s a moment where I see a glimmer of the home they’ve found within each other… I recognize it because of him.
