Vallentyne Photography is a portrait studio in Oceanside, CA, with a newborn studio in Carlsbad, CA, serving North County and San Diego. With 20 years of experience, we specialize in natural, timeless portraits for families, maternity, newborns, and seniors—capturing genuine moments on location or in our beautiful portrait studio.
We’re here to make the process easy and enjoyable. Let’s start with a quick chat about what matters most to you. We’d be honored to create portraits you’ll cherish for a lifetime.
A soon-to-be big brother, a very proud pup, and two parents soaking it all in before their world expands.
This season’s wild and sweet and a little bit chaotic—exactly how it should be.

Getting everyone dressed, out the door, and smiling in the same frame? That’s Olympic-level parenting.
But here`s the thing: it doesn`t have to be perfect to be beautiful.
I`ll guide you through it, chase the giggles, and capture the moments that matter—whether your toddler is smiling or making their signature “no nap” face.
And yes… we will get that one magical photo. Maybe even a few.

Wish made.
Not telling what it was, but you could feel it in the quiet.

Honestly? They barely noticed I was there. So in love!!
Just two people, wildly into each other,
cracking up on the beach like it’s the only place that matters.
10/10 would third wheel again.

Did Oceanside get cuter, or am I just noticing more now?
Shot this sweet branding session for @brookes_mind_therapy at one of my favorite coffee spots—and yeah, it’s wild how much this neighborhood has changed. I used to live just around the corner back in college when it was... let’s say, a little rougher around the edges.
Time does its thing. Places evolve.
And I love seeing small businesses thrive in spaces that feel this good.

A wild little laugh, some flying baby limbs, and a dad who’s all in. These are the moments you can’t plan, and honestly, why would you?
