Hi there
!
Over the years, photography has become much more than a hobby. It has become a way of expressing myself and a way of communicating with others. I personally love sharing images of various places, moods, souls, and slices of life that highlight beauty in the everyday. I always strive to capture simple, serendipitous snapshots with hopefully a larger, more complex story to uncover.
Photography has also become a way of challenging myself. Even after years of practice, I love that there is always a new skill to learn, a new angle to try, and a new perspective to share with others. Given each of our different artistic tastes, cultural experiences and even identities-- my hope is that everyone finds that one art form or hobby they can fully absorb themselves in, through which their own unique view of the world can be shared.
So I thank you for visiting my page, and for being open to seeing life through my own lens. I hope my images will provide you with a sense of calm, serenity, or even an appropriate amount of melancholy to make your day as beautifully complex, authentic and as real as it can be.
With Love,
Valerie
