About The Studio

Valentine Photography Studio truly believes women should celebrate being a woman! Beauty lies in each of us and we work with all shapes and sizes. Our clients are real women, not professional models. We're here to bring out your unique beauty and personality in a professional and safe environment where you can feel comfortable having sexy photos taken of yourself.

Our photoshoots are for women, by women. Our photographer, any assistants, and make-up artists/hair stylists are all female. We know how intimidating a photoshoot can be - especially if you're not comfortable with your photographer. Our photographer will always do a pre-photoshoot consultation with you. It gives you time to know our photographer and our photographer time to know you and what you want to accomplish with your photoshoot. Communication and comfort are the two biggest factors when it comes to having a successful photoshoot. The more comfortable you are, the better your photos will be. Please let our photographer know immediately if you feel uncomfortable during your visit to our studio.

Our photography studio is located in the photographers home. Our studio consists of two rooms:

• The Prep Room - This is the room that everything takes place in, except for the photography. We'll go over paper work in this room, process your payment, have your hair and make-up professionally done (if you choose to use their services), where our dressing room is located, where our mini fridge is stocked with beverages for you to enjoy and our coffee table is usually topped with delicious snacks (like chocolates, cupcakes and cookies... mmm!). This room also stores all our wardrobe, jewelry, shoes, and other accessories that are available for you to use during your photoshoot. This is the room that your guest, if you choose to bring one, will relax in while you're having your pictures taken. They can watch TV, read magazines, chat with the make-up artist (again, if you choose to use their services), or snack on our food.

• The Studio Room - This room is where your pictures will be taken. This is our two car garage within our home studio. You enter through the Studio Room upon arrival, through the side garage door - which is the studio entrance.

Both rooms are connected to each other, with a wall separating the two. The door between the two rooms always remains open. Our in-home studio is professional, private, comfortable, a relaxed atmosphere, and most importantly, a safe location for you to have sexy photos taken of yourself. You will never interact with our family or pets as long as you stay within the studio.

All visits to the studio are by appointment only. You can take a tour of studio by clicking here. You can also schedule an appointment to visit the studio prior to booking your photoshoot to make sure it is indeed a legit location where you will feel comfortable having your pictures taken. References are also provided upon request. We are a fully registered, licensed and insured business.

Booking a photoshoot is exciting and often times for a specific purpose. We'll take great care and attention to every detail along the way to make sure your photoshoot turns out with the results you want. Here are some ideas and reasons for having a photoshoot with us:

• Anniversary present

• Pre-wedding or wedding day/night gift

• Bachelorette party gift

• Birthday gift (to yourself or for someone special)

• Valentine's Day gift

• Christmas gift

• A special way to capture your beauty to surprise a special someone

• Photos for your modeling portfolio

• Photos for submission to magazines (like Playboy or Hustler)

• Mom-to-be memories

• Bride-to-be memories

• Just because! You are a celebration in itself and reason enough to do a fabulous photoshoot for yourself!

Please contact our studio with any questions you may have, or if you'd like to book your photoshoot. We look forward to working with you!

About The Photographer

Hi, my name is Crystal, although some call me Valentine (since it's my current middle name, maiden name, and name of my studio). I am the owner of Valentine Photography Studio, your photographer, your photo retoucher, and also a devoted wife and mother. For years now I've taken sexy and seductive photos of myself for my husband. He always loved every photo, and my guy friends were envious of him. I realized not only did my husband love the photos, but I loved seeing myself in those photos. I felt sexy, confident, and I knew I would never age in that photo (or gain weight). It wasn't long before I encouraged my friends to do the same for their significant others. I became their photographer.

When I decided to open my business, I knew I wanted to offer a safe place where women could have sexy photos taken of themselves. I knew that for ultimate comfort everyone in my business had to female - the photographer (myself), my assistants (in the rare event I use one), and make-up artists/hair stylists. The studio needed to be professional and cater to my specific style of photography. I feel I've created that environment with Valentine Photography Studio.

Photography is a passion of mine, and I never thought I would have my own studio to share that passion with you. I understand glamour/boudoir photography is very personal. Often times my clients have never done anything like this and are nervous about doing such a sexy and sensual photoshoot. You can rest assured that I am professional, mature, and responsible throughout the entire process. I do my very best to make each of my clients feel relaxed and comfortable. My personality is laid back, creative, bubbly and fun. I like to treat each of my clients as though they are my good friends. You'll always be treated with great respect!

You are in complete control of how mild or wild your photoshoot will go. I would never pressure you to pose in a way that makes you feel uncomfortable or ask you to remove more clothing then you are comfortable doing. My job is to capture your beauty, personality and style in a tasteful way through the lens of my camera.

Every client will receive a pre-photoshoot consultation with me. You can have your pre-photoshoot consultation by phone, in-studio, or email. I do a pre-photoshoot consultation to make sure you're fully prepared for your photoshoot and all your questions have been answered. When the day finally comes, I'll make sure your body placement is perfect and can fully direct your poses if needed. You'll learn each photoshoot is as unique as the client. I like variety and I encourage you to bring your own taste to your photoshoot. If your personality is as sweet as an angel, or as dark and mischievous as a little devil, I'll capture you the way you are. I hold no judgments on anyone and I'm always discreet with any decisions you may choose. I find it incredibly refreshing when a client is able to be their true selves in front of the camera. I find it's also fun when a client wants to emulate someone such as Marilyn Monroe or Bettie Page. A photoshoot is meant to be fun! I want you to be excited about your photoshoot, enjoy every minute, and treasure your photos forever!

Aside from being your photographer, I'm also your photo retoucher. That means I make sure the images you select for your photo merchandise look perfect, based on your retouch wishes. I do a standard beauty retouch on every image - which will give you beautiful results that satisfies most clients. However, there are always those retouch wishes that I will do too - like enlarging your breasts, making your tummy smaller, and removing scars. Rest assured that I will never show anyone your photos without your permission. Any photos you see here on my website, at the studio, in advertisements, or in any other form, are always used with the client's permission.

Please keep in mind my studio is located in my home, where I conduct all my business. Any visits to my studio are by appointment only, and this is strictly enforced. Not only because I ask that you respect my privacy and my business, but also because it's a law in my local county. Also, I ask that you keep in mind that I have pets - both dogs and a cat. While they are never in the studio while you're here, they do roam through from time to time when the studio is closed. If you have extreme allergies to dogs or cats, you should consider that when booking your photoshoot with us (either take your allergy pills, or find another photography studio that can service you without causing a bad allergic reaction).

Please contact me with any questions you may have or to book your photoshoot. I look forward to being your photographer!
