There is nothing like the blues of the sky and sea in Coronado…. I love to shoot there on a beautiful sunny day. Elissa and Jason’s wedding and reception were beautiful…. we took pictures at The Hotel Del Coronado and then also at Loews Coronado where they held the reception…. two of my favorite Coronado wedding locations!

Some families tell me they’ve been meaning to do portraits for years. If that’s you, this is your sign. Let’s create something meaningful together.
As a full-service photographer, my job doesn’t end at the camera—I help you bring your portraits to life in your home. If that sounds like what you’ve been missing, let’s talk.
MODELS NEEDED 🤍
I’m building out my new studio portfolio and looking for a few select models this April ✨
If you’re:
• Expecting (3rd trimester)
• Or have a baby 6–12 months (sitting, not yet walking)
I’d love to hear from you!
These are complimentary sessions designed to create soft, natural, elevated portraits in my new light-filled Carlsbad studio (or on location if you prefer).
To apply:
Email me at heather@vallentynephotography.com with a quick snapshot of your family + whether you prefer studio, location, or either.
I’ll send over details + next steps 💌
Please email only (no DMs) so I can keep everything organized 🤍
Tag a friend who would love this!
I’ve photographed everything from small families to big extended gatherings, and what they all have in common is love. If you’d like to capture yours, let’s plan it.
The real magic in portraits isn’t about perfect outfits or settings—it’s about capturing the love that holds your family together. If that’s what you want remembered, let’s connect.
Somewhere between childhood and everything that comes next…
this moment happens.
Senior year isn’t just about graduation.
It’s about who they’re becoming.
And this deserves more than just a quick yearbook photo.
If you’re starting to think about senior portraits, comment SENIOR and I’ll send you the details 🤍
