Valerie rocks!…read more I've been lucky enough to work with Valerie on several projects over the years including retail catalogs, cookbook photography and personal head shots for my business and websites. Her versatility and quality throughout is commendable. Plus, she's tons of fun to collaborate with. I've since moved 1200 miles away from New Mexico, but continue to fly in every year or so to update my personal head shots. With her talent, it's so worth it! When you have special photography needs, give her a try ... you won't regret it.

I signed up for the Introductory Photography Workshop through Groupon. I am a novice and just have…read morea point and shoot digital camera, but wanted to know something about how to use my camera and some pointers on how to take better pictures. I asked in advance of buying the Groupon if my camera was OK for the workshop and was told it was so I purchased it. I felt very out of place because everyone seemed more advanced and had more advanced cameras, but that was no fault of hers so that was fine. Prior to the workshop I talked to her on the phone several times trying to find a day I could do it because it wasn't going to be every Saturday like it was supposed to be. She was also supposed to email a link for a video. Usually if someone tells you they are emailing you something you expect it within a couple days unless they say otherwise. A week or so had passed and I told her I hadn't gotten it. She said 'Oh, I haven't sent it to you yet.' I reminded her in more than one call what kind of camera I had, that I really didn't know much, etc. She seemed kind of unorganized and never remembered what kind of camera I had. The workshop was supposed to start at 12:00. She got a call a little after 12:00 and said it was probably a lost student, and it was her last student saying he wouldn't make it. She didn't turn her phone off, so every time she got a call she looked to see who was calling DURING her presentation, and some calls she even took which I thought was very unprofessional. I also thought the presentation was unorganized and not as 'introductory' as I hoped. The first 2 hours were supposed to be presentation and the next 2 hours photographing somewhere. Just before 2:30 we broke, but she said she would have to take a 15 minute break to eat something which she SHOULD have done before 12:00 and not during the 4 hours we were paying for. So she said we would meet at the Hispanic Cultural Center about 15 minutes away from her house - 15 minutes that she could be eating while driving if she really had to eat. We all went down there and waited. And waited. She showed up at 3:15 - 50 minutes after we broke. I thought we would photograph different things and all we did was photograph a little trough of water with water spouts and grass. It was fine to photograph the movement of water, but that was the only thing we filmed - no flowers, no architecture - nothing else. She also told me she didn't know I had that kind of camera. She may be a good photographer, but I don't think she is a good teacher and I would definitely not recommend someone taking one of her workshops, especially if they are a novice or have a point and shoot digital camera. I think most Groupons are great deals, but this 4 hour waste of time for $69 was a huge disappointment and absolutely not worth the money.

Our family (12 of us, 6 kids, (ages 4-14) and 6 adults gathered in Santa Fe for Thanksgiving. Wanted family photos, each family, all of us, some individual shots.

Then got us our shot pretty quickly, in time to make cut off for Christmas Cards...we asked for custom editing (glare off glasses for example) and he was totally agreeable, and did fantastic job in quick order...could not ask for a better photographer!

First off, he responded to our Yelp inquiry very quickly and was very professional in sharing his experience, pricing, and expectations for the shoot. He was also great about scheduling the time and even followed up the day of to make sure it hadn't fallen off my calendar. He showed up about 10 minutes before the appointment and brought a slew of high end photographic equipment to make sure our suite was presented as well as humanly possible. He spent over an hour capturing every possible angle and was personable and polite. He turned around our photos in less than a week (2 1/2 days) and also made a small tweak at my request in less than a day. And the results are EXCEPTIONAL. Our property looks like a million bucks and will command more bookings and a higher nightly rate now that it's presented so well on Air BNB. Thank you Chris! We will definitely keep you in mind for family photos or our next event.
