Testimonials

Gen + Adam


“Working with Val and having her photograph the birth of our son was a very memorable and positive experience. She knew exactly when to be there and, just as importantly, when not to. She really captured the essence, rawness and beauty of the birth without any allusion to the parts that did not belong in a photobook. We would highly recommend having Val be your person to document and capture everything that is special with the birth of your child.”
