I am a San Francisco-based professional photographer focused on fashion, portraiture, and high-profile event coverage. With a portfolio that balances cinematic style and nuanced emotional depth, I create compelling images influenced by photojournalism and a passion for human connection. My professional experience includes shooting for events like New York Fashion Week, Los Angeles Fashion Week, and Miami Swim Week. My published work has appeared in multiple magazines and across social media. At the core of my practice is a collaborative and playful approach, aimed at making the process effortless and ensuring every subject feels seen and valued.

Val exceeded my expectations. She arrived early, had good suggestions for posing, understood the lighting, and had an amazing turn around with all of my edited photos three days after the shoot. I would book again.

Val was a joy to work with! We hired her for my sisters baby shower and the photos came out absolutely beautiful! She was quick to respond to all of our questions and asked us a lot of thoughtful questions on our expectations for the event photos. We mostly wanted natural pictures along with some specific posed pictures, and Val definitely delivered! I wouldn’t hesitate to have her take pics of our events in the future!

Details: Bridal or baby shower • 25 - 49 guests • Indoors • Digital or online download

FAQs

What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
Every project is different and unique. I like to work my best around your needs and budgets. Please visit my website to view examples of my work.
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
I always encourage lots of communication with my clients. The more communication we have, the more comfortable we feel with each other and ultimately the stronger the images. Also, simplicity is golden. My creative process is about documenting you, connecting with you, and simply capturing it all - this is my goal.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I have a Bachelor Arts degree from UCSB (Go Gauchos!) and received training from Stanford Continuing Studies, RayKo, BAVC Media, and more.
