One of my favorite things to photograph is childhood wonder. The daydreaming, the imagination, the quiet moments that disappear as kids grow older. #VallentynePhotography #ChildhoodMemories #FamilyPhotography #CarlsbadPhotographer #NorthCountyFamilies #ChildPortraits #OceansidePhotography #FamilySession #GrowingUp

The older kids get, the more parents tell me, "We`re overdue." Life gets busy and family photos get pushed to someday. Until suddenly everybody looks different.

Youโll never hold them this tiny again. ๐ค
Those first newborn days pass in such a blur. The tiny details, the way they curl into you, and how impossibly small they feel in your arms are all changing before you even realize it.
This is why I love creating simple, timeless newborn portraits that keep the focus exactly where it belongsโon your baby and your connection as a family.
Newborn sessions are photographed in my Carlsbad studio.

One day you`ll look back and realize these quiet moments together were the good old days. The ordinary days. The ones that felt normal at the time.

Something new at Vallentyne Photography!
If you follow me here for family, maternity, newborn, or senior portraits, you may not know that I also photograph professional headshots and personal branding.
And now that I have my Carlsbad Village studio, Iโve created a whole new experience specifically for it: Modern Headshots.
These are for business owners and professionals who want photographs that feel polished and professional, but still approachable and like you.
Modern Headshots include professional hair and makeup, multiple wardrobe looks and backgrounds, plenty of guidance with posing and expression, and 2 professionally retouched images.
My first Modern Headshots Day is October 15 at the studio.
Iโve also created a separate page here on Instagram just for my headshot and branding work: @vallentynebranding
So if youโre the face of your business, come follow me over there! Iโll be sharing lots more headshot and personal branding inspiration.
And if your own headshot could use an update, send me a message and Iโll send you the October 15 details.
