Hi , I'm Valeria
I'm a proud-born + raised Texan! I began my photography journey in 2013, first taking senior portraits and then purchasing my first "professional" camera in 2016, but it wasn’t until spending a semester abroad in the Netherlands, that I realized it was meant to be more than just a hobby.
If I'm not behind a camera, you can find me at church or home editing away, having movie marathons with my husband Gabriel, or playing with my fur babies Kylo & Finn - yep! star wars fans ;)
Let's get creative together!
A few of my favorite quotes from legendary portrait photographers.
I fight to take a good photograph every single time." - Annie Leibovitz
The camera is an instrument that teaches people how to see without a camera.
- Dorothea Lange
FUN FACTS:
- I'm a list-taker maniac (I have to do list for everything, ask my husband haha)
- Happiest when: I'm binge-watching The Little House on the Prairie and eating Chick Fil A.
- I'm a sucker for taking photos of everything, I'm what they call an "over-shooter" to the max (no...like literally, I will probably take over 5,000 photos on your wedding day), find the best steals at thrift stores, & if I had a back up job it would be an analyst/researcher. I've always been the point of contact for searching and planning things out - I'm your gal!
- I'm expecting! March 2024, my husband and I will be parents to our sweet baby boy!
WHAT LED YOU TO THE NAME VALERIA GRACE?
Valeria is obviously my name, and Grace was my sisters name. I I always knew I wanted her to be part of my photography journey - that's how I came up with Valeria Grace. I love it!
