Gifts and Announcements

albums

There is nothing better than being able to physically hold those memories in your hand. Imagine snuggling up on the couch with your family as you turn the pages of your photo album, and feeling like you are reading the story of your life in this season. These heirloom quality albums are a great way to preserve those memories and create a tangible legacy to pass on for years to come.

Some photos are special enough to stand alone. Those photos are best suited for a statement piece or a large specialty framed print. We will make sure these photos get the attention they deserve with a statement on your wall.

statement pieces

I believe that framed photos on the wall really make a home, and tell the story of your family. When we fill our walls with the memories of these special moments, we are always surrounded by that joy and emotion. Choosing what photos to hang on your wall can feel intimidating, but I’ll help you decide which ones will look best in your home. I’ll also design your gallery wall so that it can grow with your family over time.

"Valerie was a joy to work with!"

"I was amazed at the talent and patience she exhibited our session. I will treasure these photos forever!"

From baby bumps and tiny hands to toddler giggles and busy feet, the time we have with them is fleeting, making it even more important to document the story of these moments so that one day they will come alive again.
