This un-traditional photoshoot captures your family in a natural setting.


Whether your family rents an Airbnb, has a backyard BBQ, or is visiting for the holidays, there's nothing more special than capturing family existing and bonding when they're all together.

Custom &

Creative



Imagine capturing your birthday at a 5 star restaurant, a photoshoot with multiple pit-stops, or the most amazing custom-created experience based on things you love!


Your ideas are welcome here! I love working with your vision or working with a starting point and going from concept to creation.

Tribute



Pay homage to your long lost loved one by creating a custom tribute session.


I developed this session to help clients cope with grief through artistic expression. In our calls, we will discuss whatever you are comfortable sharing.


In the session, clients can bring mementos, use my journal prompts, or use symbolism to express different themes.

Testimonials

I met Valerie through a posting on Facebook. She came to Hawaii....[a]nd what can I say, she absolutely went above and beyond!! She is very communicative, friendly, Positive, outgoing and just a blessing to be around. From the first meeting via video chat to the first meeting in person, till the actual session at the beach. Everything was so well planned. She puts so much effort in understanding what you want, communicating what...will look great and just mentoring you throughout the session.

Kristina

Recommending Valerie to all my friends and family! She goes above and beyond to get the perfect shots! She did my maternity and family/newborn photos. The sessions were fun and stress free. Valerie takes the time to know you and share ideas before each session which was really helpful because I had no clue where to start! I can't thank her enough for all her help! I'm definitely using Valerie in the future!

I had a wonderful experience with Tilted Crown Photography. I had a photo shoot in old Sacramento. It was the best experience I have ever had. Valerie, the photographer was so patient, so creative, and so much fun. She took her time, we spent about 3hours and she never stopped taking photos of me. She directed my poses and even let me get creative. She is a gem! she was cheering me on and made me feel like a model. She listened and designed the perfect album i wanted. Thank you for the amazing experience.

100,000 stars!!! Valerie is by far the BEST photographer I have ever worked with. She shows up with a warm smile, and a contagiously positive personality. You immediately feel comfortable in front of the camera. She captures moments that other photographers do not; her perspective is so unique, and she truly focuses on what matters to you and your family. Her specialization in candids and action/movement shots made me actually show my real, big silly smile, and the photographs came out more than perfect.
