About me
Hey! I'm Vel! ...the Lead Photographer at In Your Image Photography, IYI.
|
I’m the girl behind the camera who gets a little teary at first looks, gets overly excited about golden hour light, and truly believes the smallest moments are often the biggest ones.
I’ve been a professional photographer for over 14 years, and during that time my team and I have created thousands of beautiful images for incredible families and couples. My work has been nationally published and featured in print — which is such an honor — but if you ask me what means the most? It’s when a client tells me, “These are everything. I LOVE them!” People often describe my work as natural and timeless, and in my opinion that comes from genuinely loving what I do and never taking it for granted. Every session, every wedding, every newborn — it’s not just another booking to me. It’s your life. Your story. Your memories. And that’s a big deal. A Little About Me I’m a wife to my wonderfully supportive husband (truly the calm to my creative chaos) and a proud mom to several amazing kiddos who keep life full, loud, and beautifully messy. |
There are fingerprints on my windows, laundry piles that never seem to shrink, and dishes that multiply overnight — and I know one day I’ll miss it all.
That’s why I care so much about what I do. Because I understand how quickly seasons change. The sleepy newborn stretches. The way he looks at you on your wedding day. The gap-toothed grin. The proud “I did it!” smile. These moments don’t last. But photographs do! What It’s Like to Work With Me Professional, but never intimidating. Intentional, but not forced. Guiding you every step of the way — while making sure you still feel like you. I love documenting the uniqueness of every family and the distinct beauty in each couple’s love story. No cookie-cutter sessions. No forced smiles. Just genuine connection and images that feel timeless and real. One of the greatest blessings of this career has been the relationships. So many of my clients become friends. I’m supposed to be the one making them smile — but truthfully, they’re the ones who leave me feeling grateful every single time. |
