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

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!
