Capturing Life’s Milestones—Together

Hi, I’m Valerie Akin, and I’m so glad you’re here! I’m a photographer who specializes in capturing the joyful, in-between, and unforgettable moments of seniors and families. Recently, I married my best friend—and now partner in both life and photography. My husband and I are both photographers, and sharing this creative journey together has been one of the most meaningful parts of our new chapter.

We believe in preserving life’s most important seasons—whether it’s a high school senior on the verge of a brand-new adventure, or a family celebrating the beauty of right now. Every session is a chance to tell a story, and we can’t wait to help tell yours.
