Open Model Call for North County & San Diego Families and Seniors

I’m excited to announce an incredible opportunity for you and your family! I occasionally need models to help showcase new locations and fresh concepts I want to bring to life. And who better to help than real people and real families like you?

When selected as a Vallentyne Photography model, you’ll receive a complimentary photo session at one of my favorite or new locations. Not only will we have a wonderful time capturing meaningful, natural images, but you’ll also receive a matted 5×7 print as a heartfelt thank-you gift from me. This is my way of saying thank you for giving me the chance to expand my creativity and portfolio.

There’s no obligation to purchase additional artwork, though you’ll have the option if you fall in love with more of the photos we create together. My goal is to craft timeless images that capture the love, laughter, and uniqueness of your family.

So, if you’re interested in being part of something special and helping me bring fresh ideas to life, please get in touch! Simply fill out the form [link to form or email sign-up], and I’ll be in touch if you’re a match for one of my upcoming projects.

Thank you for being part of my photography journey – I can’t wait to create something beautiful together!

Sign up here to be contacted when there is an available opportunity.

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.

You’ll never hold them this tiny again. 🤍
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 belongs—on your baby and your connection as a family.
Newborn sessions are photographed in my Carlsbad studio.
