Being brave doesn’t always mean being loud.

Sometimes, it means walking into a space where you’ll be truly seen,
even if your confidence is shaky,
even if your jeans don’t fit,
even if you almost cancelled.

That’s the kind of bravery I witness every day in my studio.

Women choosing to show up, not because they feel ready, but because they know it matters.

If that’s you too…

I’d be honoured to hold that space for you.

Empowering sessions for women, mothers, and those coming home to themselves.

Some clients book me once.
Others come back again: when baby is in their belly, and again when they’re in their arms.
Some return for baby milestones or second babies.

That’s the trust I never take for granted.

“Valentina is a credit to her work and what she does and also what she caters towards. I booked both the maternity & newborn photography with Valentina and the end result was amazing. She is so relaxed and professional. She is amazing with newborn babies and so gentle. I cannot recommend Vale enough.” - Chloe

From bump to baby, these are more than photo sessions.

They’re soft pauses in time.

Moments of connection, calm, and care.

Just for fun (because it’s Friday).

A little list of things I unapologetically love.

Some of them make my job what it is.

Some are just very me.

What would be on your “Unfortunately I do love…” list?

PS. The cat is still around. He might be getting his own list soon.
