"There are not enough words in any language to describe how magical and perfect our session and photos with Valerie are! You can see her joy, enthusiasm and love for what she does both at your session and in the photos."- Julie S.

"It is always an exceptional experience working with Valerie! Her photos capture so many feelings and emotions of our cherished furry family members." - Laurie Y.

"Valerie has an amazing gift of being able to capture the emotional connection I share with my pony. Her keen use of natural light create a finished portrait that is gallery quality. The fact that she is so very kind and patient makes the whole portrait experience for both human and animal very special - and fun!" -Joanne M.
