Southern Style Photography

Here is a little bit about me!! :)

Hey ya'll my name is Laurie, I am a Wife to my amazing Hubby & a Momma to 3 truly wonderful children...these people are my world!! I love love love the beach, summer days, the heat, camping, being out on the lake, being in the middle of a field, living in the country, driving down back roads with the windows down in my car singing to my favorite music, lunch dates with friends, pedicures, & I love taking pictures for all of my precious clients!!! God is Good all the time!! I love the unexpected photos that get captured in an instant when I share in a family's real life story!! Capturing the true beauty and more of life's candid shots is some of my favorites. I think pictures should be a reflection of life's true happiness. Emotions can be captured in all phases of life & I love the un-posed & posed!

I am self taught with a very imaginative mind. Creating memories for others gives me such a great JOY knowing they will cherish those memories for a life time!

My goal is to make you feel comfortable so that your true personality shines. I love to see natural emotions between family members or couples. To me, preserving that moment in time is priceless. I'm very patient, and I understand that sometimes children are not in the mood to have their pictures taken. If that happens, I'm willing to reschedule your session.

Please wear something comfortable and colors should complement each other, not necessarily matching. I may ask you to sit on the concrete, trees, fields, or grassy areas, so please take that into consideration when choosing your outfit.

Payment will be required at the day of service. Cash, check made out to Laurie Valenzuela, or charge is an acceptable method of payment, charge will include tax. I hope you consider me to be your photographer. Thank you.
