The Story Membership | Baby Plan Photography Collection
The Experience
01 | CONNECT
Reach out through the inquiry form and tell me a little about your family and this season of life. Whether you’re expecting your first baby, soaking in the newborn days, or simply wanting to preserve your family as they are right now, I want to hear your story and what matters most to you.
02 | PLAN
Life is busy, and I want the process to feel easy and enjoyable from start to finish. I’ll help guide you through wardrobe, styling, locations, and all the little details so you feel fully prepared for your session.
03 | PHOTOGRAPH
These moments pass quickly, and my goal is to capture them in a way that feels natural, connected, and true to your family. Sessions are relaxed and thoughtfully tailored to your personalities, your relationships, and the season you’re in right now.
04 | PRESERVE
Your photographs deserve more than living on a phone or hard drive. After your session, I’ll help you select your favorite images and turn them into beautiful artwork for your home including framed wall art, albums, and heirloom pieces designed to be enjoyed for generations. Digital files accompany each printed piece.

"5 stars from start to finish!
We were coming in from out of town and she made the entire process simple and enjoyable. Heather was a joy to work with and knew exactly how to work with our two small boys. We couldn't be happier with the photos-love, love, love them!!!"

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.

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, I’ve 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.
I’ve also created a separate page here on Instagram just for my headshot and branding work: @vallentynebranding
So if you’re the face of your business, come follow me over there! I’ll be sharing lots more headshot and personal branding inspiration.
And if your own headshot could use an update, send me a message and I’ll send you the October 15 details.
