Valerie is a phenomenally outstanding photographer! We just had our wedding this past Saturday, so…read morewe haven't even gotten our photos back yet but we are just so happy with our experiences with Valerie that we had to post a review now! (Will post update and some photos from our wedding once available -- which I am confident will be amazing since we loved our engagement photos -- will post some of our engagement photos for now!) First of all, Valerie is one of the most genuine vendors that we worked with for our wedding. Her services are reasonably priced while still offering a superb, quality service and product. All our interactions with her made us feel like she was genuinely excited for our big day and wanted to make it special for us. Valerie was definitely one of our favorite vendors that we worked with for our wedding! Secondly, Valerie's personality really helped us shine and feel comfortable in our photos even for 2 camera-shy people. Even all the guests at our wedding raved about how much they loved her! She's friendly, engaging, helpful with posing, professional, and efficient! We are SO happy that we found Valerie after searching through hundreds (literally hundreds of photographers in San Diego) -- we really lucked out in finding her and highly recommend her to any other couple in the search for wedding photographer or any photographer services for that matter!

Valerie has this special skill where the more I look at the photos she took for our engagement and…read morewedding, the more I love it. We are really happy with how our photos turned out. Valerie is also very witty and has a style of humor where she's super quirky, but in a good way that makes you feel less shy and self conscious when you're taking photos and more willing to express your true self during the photoshoot. Her rate is also incredibly reasonable and competitive! Besides being an awesome photographer, Valerie is also really great in helping you with bridesmaid tasks during the wedding. This includes helping you with bustling your dress, carrying your gown train around, securing your veil to the back of your head, or pining boutonnières on for your parents/wedding party members. I was especially grateful for her in doing all the boutonnière pinnings as I had no idea how to do that and definitely did not want the added stress of trying to figure it out on the day of. One tip that I suggest when taking your engagement or wedding photos is to have some ideas of poses you want or have a list of the specific sites you want to take pictures at your wedding venue. I regret not doing this as, after the wedding, we realized there were a couple places we wish we had taken more photos at. Additionally, our wedding photos had many similar poses sprinkled throughout and I wish I had researched/looked at more wedding photos in general to get ideas of what other poses we could've done. However, considering how much details are involved in weddings, these are sort of just "cherry on the top" stuff which would've been nice to have but aren't deal breakers. Valerie will definitely not miss any defining wedding moments for you. You can rest assured that she will capture all your wedding highlights without fail!

We arrived about 30 minutes prior to our appointment since we were a group of 5(including an infant), But this was so we could possibly use the restroom to touch up and fix ourselves. When we arrived to the destination, we found that both entrances were locked. No problem. Gave the phone number a call, however, I found that the tone and response was a bit rude. I mentioned that the doors were locked but The response was, "your appointment is in 30 minutes. Im not ready for you. wait outside". The tone sounded annoyed and irritated and she was very abrupt. I think to avoid this, they should put on their FAQ section to arrive at the designated time and to make it clear that there is no waiting area. the appointment went past the due time and i finally received a message stating that she was locked out. I am unsure of how they can be locked out. why don't they have a key to a space they lease? How did they lock themselves out? Were they not there yet and that is why they werent ready for us? All these questions. Poor planning on their end if they are to book appointments on days where maintenance is not readily available. They ended up having to cancel the booking because they could not enter their own workspace. They offered to rebook for the following day but everyone would be flying out. Im not here to knock anyone out, just mainly so that the owner is aware that they may need to rethink their logistics and also how they react to customer inquiries. We were really looking forward to doing business. Hopefully future customers won't go through the same issues we did. Wish them well on their endeavors.

I really don't know where to start... Keeley is an incredible human being and anyone who is…read morefortunate enough to cross paths with her will say the exact same thing. As a Makeup Artist I've worked with many photographers over the years and a boudoir shoot is something I had always wanted to do, but I always had a million excuses to not do it. With my 40th birthday rapidly approaching Keeley encouraged me to do it. And boy was I not disappointed. Keeley's attention to detail is truly unmatched. Your boudoir experience is perfectly curated in a collaborative way between you and Keeley. From booking, to Pinterest boards, to a zoom meeting, to her customized welcome board, to SNACKS, to your custom coffee order, to playing your personal music playlist, to a robe and slippers, her client closet, to any necessity you may need during your time together (tampons, pads, nipple covers, thong panties, deodorant, etc) Every detail is covered and considered. When it comes to actually shooting the photos let's just say I'm NOT a model and shooting with her made the experience feel like you're hanging out with your best friend who has your best interest at heart. She will guide you every step of the way. Once the shoot is over, you'll get to preview your photos, and it'll be hard to narrow down your favorites. Her mantra "You are Art" is an understatement, after receiving my photos I was in tears. I felt so beautiful and am forever grateful to now have these photos to celebrate this period of my life. Book with Keeley, you won't be disappointed.

Boudoir can definitely feel a little intimidating at first, but Keeley's energy, guidance, and sense of humor made it so fun and empowering. I felt safe, confident, and honestly had the best time. Also... her snack game? If you're even thinking about booking a shoot, do it!!! You'll look back 5, 10, 15 years from now and still be so glad you did.
