"It is clear she has everyone’s best interest in mind and is very organized but go with the flow with gentle guidance when things inevitably go awry."
Val shot a wedding i was in recently and brought the best energy (and most calming words when it got chaotic) to the getting ready portion and made pictures feel so effortless and fun. It is clear she has everyone’s best interest in mind and is very organized but go with the flow with gentle guidance when things inevitably go awry. Also, she got the couple back a crazy amount of “sneak peaks” that were more than most wedding albums I’ve seen within a couple days!! I would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for any shoot big event or small.

Nice to meet you
Not your typical photographer here.
Based in Rochester, NY and open to wandering outside of this little town. I claim myself as an intuitive and narrative photographer which simply means I choose to document others in an authentic story-telling way. I accomplish this form of photography by getting to know you, your partner, and/or whoever else accompanies you during photos. After you submit an inquiry, I begin to get to know you and yours through more dialogue and a questionnaire. During our time together, you will notice that I zone into observation mode. It is here in this visual space where my intuition steps in and I study the movements between. I will vocalize what I see to you and encourage more of that connection I perceive to document those genuine moments.
