About this Nominee
You can call me Val - a bold artist and Mexican American photographer based in Alameda.
Since becoming a wife and mom, capturing your love story from marriage to parenthood has taken on an even deeper meaning to me. What began as a gratitude practice, happiness project, and journey to healing became my mission to give you a gift my inner child once wished for: tangible proof of your lifetime - the love, the laughter, and the in-between moments that will one day mean everything to everyone you call home.
My work is for modern families and couples shaped by real-life resilience and tenderness, because I believe the most powerful love stories are told not through perfection, but through presence, connection, and genuine emotion. Together, we’ll create something lasting - an honest, artful reflection of the vibrant heart beat behind your colorful life.
