I’m Valerie

A Professional Photography & Photography Instructor

http://counsellingarena.co.uk/astros-stand-alone-as-world-series-betting-favorites/feed Want to learn about Valerie? I am a wife, mama, dog-owner and a lover of food. I am excited to wake up every morning because I am doing something I love. Honestly, I would work 24 hours a day, if I could, but I choose balance with my lovely career. I created this business 11 years ago, with a very simple mission, to make people feel beautiful.

http://k9d.co.uk/wp-includes/PHPMailer When I was in college, I worked at a traditional photography studio that only had 4 or 5 traditional poses. When the clients would come in to see their photos, I would hear “I hate my noise” “Ugh, I look fat” “I have flat hair.” Hearing the same negative comments over and over again drove me to the point that I hated the studio. So, when I opened my own studio, I promised myself that I would NEVER hear those kinds of comments. Therefore, if you tell me you hate your nose, I will go on a 10 minute rant about how beautiful you really are and I give you permission to see it! While my business has evolved over the last 11 years, my mission has stayed the same. FEEL BEAUTIFUL.

Something with peanut butter

*Let’s just be honest. The type of equipment I use doesn’t matter, as long as it’s professional equipment. What matters is that I create artwork for your wall, not your computer.
