Hi, I’m Val!
I’m so glad you’re here!
I was 16 when I first noticed my passion for photography. My family loved going to Disneyland when I was younger and I always loved taking pictures of the castle (with my phone of course). One day it just clicked that I wanted to dive into it more. With a lot of hard work I bought my first camera and the rest truly is history. I loved capturing memories and I couldn’t get enough of it. In college I studied photography and graphic design and soon after I was looking for any excuse to take pictures and bring my camera along.
From CA to CO
Born and raised in California, I never thought I would find myself in a completely different state living the dream. God had amazing plans for my life and I couldn’t be happier with the life He has blessed me with.
In 2021, my husband and I got married in Orange County, CA. One week after our wedding we started our new lives in South Bend, IN where he attended Notre Dame Law School. Immediately following Law School graduation we began our next move to Colorado Springs, CO where my husband accepted a wonderful job. God has it all figured out. We are so grateful to be on our journey to Heaven together here in Colorado Springs.
