I'm Valerie. I'm an East-Coast based photographer who digs real moments.
I don't think professional has to mean stuffy or traditional. I believe in doing things your own way, being yourself and having some fun along the way.
Tony + Caroline: Engaged | Lifestyle Engagement Session | Creative DC Engagement Session I always jump at the chance for a creative DC engagement session. So what if it’s a little rainy?
