ABOUT VALERIE
I believe beauty lives in the details and the light that shapes a moment.
I am combining my love of garden photography with lifestyle photography. It is wonderful to capture a child’s smile and the warmth of a family in a beautiful outdoor setting.
My work has taken me from fashion shoots and artists portraits, including Salvador Dali and Andy Warhol, in NYC to royal ceremonies in Thailand where I was was hired by the Royal Thai Embassy to photograph the bicentennial of the Royal Thai Dynasty.
Over the years I have built a reputation in the Washington DC area as a garden and lifestyle photographer.
I have been fortunate to have worked with Smithsonian Books, State Department, Kennedy Center, Nasa, White House, and multiple organizations and publications. I have published a book on the gardens and parks of the DC metropolitan area -Capitol Splendor; Gardens and Parks of Washington DC and commissioned by the Thai Embassy to put together a book of my photos from Thailand.
What continues to inspire me are the everyday moments of beauty and emotion waiting to be seen and preserved.
