🎃 A little Halloween magic, Santa Barbara style! 🧙‍♀️

Started my Saturday morning walking with some amazing women and catching the annual Witch Paddle at the Santa Barbara Harbor. There is nothing quite like seeing a whole fleet of witches take over the water! 🧙‍♀️🌊

And this is just one of the moments I captured… more photos to come!

Next stop? Back on the field at the junior college football game, working as an athletic trainer. Then, hopefully, home in time to turn my driveway into a little Halloween photo studio for some costumed kids and families! 📸👻

A little community, a little football, a whole lot of Halloween fun, and hopefully a few more memories captured along the way.

Happy Halloween! 🎃💙

What are you up to today? Trick-or-treating, handing out candy, dressing up, or enjoying a little of everything?

Some mornings start a little earlier than others… 🌅🥍

Sunrise, fresh air, and a whole lot of girl power!

This morning, I’m cheering on my daughter and her lacrosse team as they warm up for their first game. It’s going to be a fun weekend watching these girls show up, support each other, and do what they love.

Being a mom means a lot of early mornings, full calendars, and figuring out how to be there for the moments that matter. And honestly? I wouldn’t trade it. 💙

Here’s to a weekend of teamwork, making memories, and cheering these girls on!

A little shift in perspective can change your whole week. 💙

Sometimes, the first step forward is simply clearing your head and choosing where to focus.

Here’s to a new week and the possibilities we create along the way!

A weekend reminder of what really matters. 🩵

Celebrating a longtime friend as she was inducted into the Athletic Hall of Fame. Spending time walking along the harbor with amazing women. And keeping our family’s annual pumpkin-patch tradition alive in the Santa Ynez Valley.

Three different moments, but each one reminded me how much the people in our lives and the memories we make together matter.

Life gets busy. We have work to do, people to care for, and a never-ending list of things waiting for us.

But these are the moments I want to make room for. Celebrating the people we love. Connecting with women who inspire us. Making memories with our families while the traditions are still ours to enjoy.

As a photographer, I spend so much time helping other families preserve their stories. I’m reminding myself, too, to be present in my own.

Because we deserve to exist in our photos, too. 🩵

What’s one little moment from your weekend that you want to remember?

Wishing you well,
Valerie

That little smirk. That sparkle in his eyes. That look that says, “Yep, this is me.” 😏💙

What if we spent a little less time worrying about whether our children fit in and a little more time celebrating who they already are?

The silly ones. The quiet ones. The big dreamers. The ones who ask a million questions or march to the beat of their own drum.

They don’t need to be more like someone else. They deserve to be celebrated for being themselves.

That’s the heart behind my Simply Me project, now including Kids & Pets. It’s about capturing personality, connection, and the little things that make each child — and each animal — wonderfully unique.

I shared a little more about this in my new blog post. If you have a moment, I’d love for you to read it. 💙

And tell me: what’s one little thing your child does that is so completely THEM?

Wishing you well,
Valerie

That little look that says, “Yep, that’s me.” 😏💙

You know the one!

The mischievous smile. The twinkle in his eyes. The personality that comes through before he even says a word.

Our children don’t have to fit a mold, follow someone else’s path, or be anything other than who they are.

Some are little comedians. Some are deep thinkers. Some are adventurers, big dreamers, or wonderfully unpredictable combinations of all of the above.

And that’s the beauty of it. ✨

That’s what I love about my Simply Me portraits. It’s not about being perfect or knowing how to pose. It’s about celebrating the person in front of my camera — exactly as they are, right now.

This year, Simply Me is expanding to include Kids & Pets, celebrating the personalities, connections, and special bonds that make our families unique.

Because the world doesn’t need another copy of someone else. It needs them.

💙 Tell me: what’s one little thing your child does that is SO completely them?
