Meet Valerie, your photograph

Hello! I’m Valerie.

A portrait and couple photographer for whom the camera is a bridge between light, story, and your freedom to be unapologetically yourself. Based in Europe and always open to travel, I create soulful, timeless photography for those who seek meaning, not just images.

I love capturing moments of connection and intimacy—whether it’s two people in love, a quiet personal portrait, or the joy of a family being simply themselves. And if your story includes a surprise proposal or a small, heartfelt celebration somewhere wild and beautiful—I'm all in.

My style: timeless, cinematic, intuitive.

I don’t follow trends—but I do follow light, emotion, and the subtle rhythm of your presence. Sometimes that means soft film tones, sometimes a digital clarity that freezes the flicker of a glance. But always—what matters stays.

Why people choose me:

— You, as you are.
No need to perform. We’ll talk, laugh, walk, pause, breathe. And let the moment shape itself. That’s where the beauty lives.

— Light is everything.
I’ve spent years watching it—how it slips through shutters, brushes over skin, turns ordinary places into poetry. Light doesn’t just illuminate—it co-authors.

— A traveler’s eye.
New cities, hidden courtyards, familiar parks at unfamiliar hours—I find stories in movement and stillness. I shoot across Europe and am always ready for the next place your story wants to be told.

Who I photograph:

  • Couples and lovers, candid and quiet

  • Proposals, engagements, intimate celebrations

  • Personal portraits (solo or with someone special)

  • Families — warm, relaxed, real

  • And yes—occasionally, small weddings (elopements), when it feels right

I also work with boutique hotels and conscious brands, creating visual stories that feel lived-in and honest. But that's another kind of adventure.

What I believe in:

  • Presence over poses. Whether you’re camera-shy or completely at ease, we’ll find a rhythm that feels natural.

  • Photography as dialogue. It’s not about how you look—it’s how you feel, and how that feeling is held in light.

  • Freedom to be real. Bring the dress, bring the hoodie, bring the messy hair and the grin. Be real. That’s rare. That’s gold.

What’s next?

If you’re not just looking for “a photoshoot,” but want something more thoughtful, more human—let’s begin. I’m available for sessions across Spain, France, and Europe-wide. Write to me. I’d love to hear your story.
