Oh Hi!

I'm Valerie

Your Wedding & lifestyle Photographer

Before I do anything, I need my morning coffee — it’s basically part of my creative process. I love a good slice of pizza, quality time with my family, and soaking in the little moments that matter most.


I’m naturally calm and grounded, which is exactly what you need on a wedding day. But don’t worry — if your bridal party needs wrangling, I can turn up the volume and take charge when it’s time. Calm energy with boss vibes when necessary. 😉

FAQ

 

Where are you based, and do you travel?

I'm based in Eagle Lake, MN and yes, I love to travel especially for love, however, costs are associated with this. If it is outside of the city area there is $100 charge if more than 2 hours out of Eagle Lake, MN city.

can we choose the location for our photo shoot?

Absolutely! I believe that the location plays a significant role in capturing unique and personalized photographs. Whether it's at your home, a scenic outdoor location, or a venue of your choice, I am open to capturing your portraits in a place that hold meaning to you.

do you offer print & Products?

Yes, I do! Fine Prints etc. all a-la-crate and can be purchased. Sales Tax of 7.275% will be added to all prints and product packages.

how far in advance should we book you for our wedding?

Typically, couples book me about 13 months in advance. I encourage you to reach out to me as soon as you book your venue. I will not hold dates unless the deposit is paid, and contract is signed. The sooner the better to avoid any disappointments.

retainers & payment plans?

Depending on which package you select there will be a deposit. The remaining balance is due a week before your event. I do offer payment plans. Please send me an email to discuss details.

Do you reschedule for bad weather?

Yes, I do! We can't control what the skies do. But I am willing to reschedule your session for another date available. IF you are willing to shoot in the rain or snowy day, I'm so down for the dramatic effects. :)

Do you offer discounts?

Great question! Yes, I do. I offer 10% off to Military & First Responders. If this is you, let me know and I'd be happy to help you out.

Do you have add-ons?

Yes, I do! I have additional wedding hour coverage, Bridal Session, Second Photographer, Photo Booth Rentals, and so much more. Reach out to me for more information. I would love to tell you more about it.

Will you edit all our photos?

Definitely! All final images will be edited for color, saturation, exposure, and sharpness to ensure they look beautiful. I also offer retouching services like blemish removal and teeth whitening for an add charge.
