the author

Hello and welcome to my blog! I’m Valentina — a wife, a mom to two spirited boys, and a passionate storyteller behind the lens.

With over a decade of experience, I specialize in capturing life's most beautiful chapters — from the excitement of saying "I do," to the tender beginnings of new life, to the joyful, everyday moments of growing families.

Motherhood and family life can be a wild ride, and as a mom of two wild boys myself, I’m right there with you. These are the moments I live through every single day—and the ones I want to capture for you. Because while the days may feel long, the years pass in a blink.

Good news: Making the first move is easy. Just ask me on a date! (Your wedding date, that is 😜).
