Valerie was so wonderful to work with! She was on time, and while she waited 5 minutes for me (😅), she talked with my husband and played with my daughter. She is very warm and kind, professional, and did an amazing job with my hair and makeup for my daughter's 1 year old photoshoot! It made the day much less stressful for me and my family and the photos turned out great! I will definitely work with her again!

Valerie was amazing! She was a little bit early (which was great for me). She did my hair and make up so beautifully! She was very easy to talk to before and during the appointment. Whenever I need my make up or hair done again, I'll definitely be reaching out to Valerie
