About

I'm a mom of four, a coffee lover, and the photographer behind Vallie Mae Photography. What started as a simple love of taking pictures became a way for me to tell real stories that feel honest and meaningful. I'm also married, and being in this season of life has given me an even deeper appreciation for connection, family, and the moments that matter most.

I'm drawn to real emotion and connection. The subtle moments, genuine expressions, and the kind of memories that don't always feel big in the moment but end up meaning everything later. My style leans moody and emotional, but my sessions are easy going and relaxed. I want you to feel comfortable, confident, and completely yourself when you're in front of my camera.

I know being photographed can feel awkward, and you don't have to show up knowing exactly what to do. I'll guide you when you need it, hype you up when you're feeling unsure, and create a space where you can just be present. The goal is simple: photos that feel like you and moments you'll actually want to look back on.
