Big news… 💛

It has been such an honor to be part of your lives, documenting your milestones—from engagements and weddings to babies, graduations, and everything in between. Watching your families grow has meant more to me than words can express.
You are in great hands with these talented photographers here in Solano County:

Wow, what an incredible ride it's been running Valerie Ozella Photography since January 2012!

Since retiring from my full-time job a year ago, I've had the amazing opportunity to delve deeper into photography as a full-time adventure. But between spending time with grandkids, camping trips, exciting travels, and a whole lot more, I've found myself delightfully busy with other passions.

With a bittersweet heart, I've decided to close Valerie Ozella Photography as a business. However, this doesn't mean the end of my photography journey!

The joy of capturing memories and creating beautiful portraits for my wonderful clients is something I can't imagine ever fully giving up. I'm incredibly grateful for your unwavering support over the years. It's been a true blessing to develop such meaningful connections with many of you, turning clients into dear friends.

While I won't be updating this page or VOP Instagram account any longer, you can follow my new adventures and photography work at or join this group - https://www.facebook.com/groups/PortraitsbyValerieVIP (name will be changed after I figure out how to do that lol)

Here's to new beginnings!
