I am Valerie Bolster

So much to say but I'll keep it simple -

I am on the adventure of motherhood with 3 kids (2 girls + a boy) and my husband of 11 years. I am an extroverted introvert who loves to find the beauty in every situation. I am recently retired from 10 years in the wedding planning industry to follow my passion of photography; with my main focus on family, maternity & lifestyle newborn photography. If I had to describe my photography style it would be authentic, light & true to life. I love a good close up headshot and most always include at least one black & white moody image in your gallery. I take a minimalistic approach to my sessions as I want the main point of focus to be the beauty that is you, your family and our natural surroundings.

I am based in Pensacola, Florida and travel to the Pensacola Beach, Gulf Breeze, Navarre, Navarre Beach, Milton, Pace and Perdido Key areas. If you are looking for services outside of those please send me a hello so we can discuss!

Self Portrait by VBP

my favorite thing about photography is the ability to capture raw emotion + your unique personality in an art form that you can treasure, hold on to and pass down for years to come.

Valerie was excellent to work with leading up to the photo session as well as during and after! She made the kids all feel super comfortable and relaxed, which made their real personalities and smiles shine in all the photos we got back!
