Hi, my name is Valerie
YOUR PORTRAIT, WEDDING, AND ADVENTURE PHOTOGRAPHER
I currently benefit from living on the land known as Madison, Wisconsin where you can find me working with the youth, interpreting the cosmos, and freezing the gears of time.
My camera roll is full of way too many pictures, but I'd be honored to add more. I'm here to capture not only the way things looked, but how the moment felt and who you are at this time in your life.
I believe each session is a chance to preserve memories that would otherwise slip away. Let's work together!
Vibrant Style
I like to capture classic, enduring photos that stand the test of time. Whether it is moments of peak joy or all the dramatic ways you want to be seen, I’m here to record it all and preserve our essence like bugs in amber. Photography is such a fertile medium that lets us blur the boundaries of time and capture the richness of our human experience. We're only here for a short while, and as we age, our stories grow deeper and more vibrant. Let's capture it!
A Decade of Creation
Photography has brought me great joy and opportunity for the past 17 years, and I love sharing that joy with my clients. Ever since I was little I have loved savoring life through Polaroids and preserving treasured memories of family and friends. It's so cool to look back and see how my creativity and tech has evolved over the years. If there is a specific vision or style you have in mind and it fits my spirit, I would love to help you create it.
"We all live in the sublime. Where else can we live? That is the only place of life."
