About Us

Welcome to Valentine Photography Studio!!

Our all-female photography studio specializes in glamour, boudoir and pin-up photography (which includes bridal and maternity boudoir). We work with all shapes and sizes - our clients are real women, not professional models. We provide a fun, professional and safe environment for you to come and have your sexy photos taken. The studio is run by women and we have a "no-men allowed" policy to provide a comfortable environment for all our clients.

We know how intimidating a photoshoot like this can be - especially if you're not comfortable with your photographer. Our photographer will take the time to have a pre-photoshoot consultation with you (which you can have by phone, email or in-studio). It gives you a chance to know our photographer and ask all questions, and gives our photographer a chance to know you and the kind of photoshoot you'd like to accomplish. We make sure that you're fully informed every step of the way, and are always comfortable with your choices. The more comfortable you are the better your photos will be!

Our in-home studio is located in Front Royal, VA - which is within driving distance of many locations within Virginia, Maryland, Washington D.C., West Virginia and even Pennsylvania. 90% of our clients drive at least 1 to 3 hours to have a photoshoot with us!!

The studio is located in the photographer's home, but is a separate part of her home and has a separate entrance. You will never interact with the photographer's family or pets, and often times clients forget they are in a home studio location. The studio consists of two rooms: the Studio Room and the Prep Room.

• Studio Room: You'll enter into the studio room upon arrival. This is where all your photography takes place and where we store and set-up all our photo sets. It can sometimes look like an organized mess, but we promise it all comes together in each look you do.

• Prep Room: This is the room where everything else will take place. Our wardrobe, shoes, jewelry, accessories, make-up table, and more are all in the Prep Room. This is where any guests you bring would hang out (which they can watch TV, read magazines or bring their own entertainment).

All visits to our studio are by appointment only. You can take a tour of the studio by clicking here. You can also schedule an appointment to visit the studio prior to booking your photoshoot. We offer Tester Parties that you and your friends can schedule. 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 gift

• Birthday gift (to yourself or for someone special)

• Valentine's Day gift

• Christmas gift

• Bachelorette Party

• Girls-Night-Out Party

• Photos for your modeling portfolio

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

• Mom-to-be memories

• Bride-to-be memories

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

About The Photographer

Hey there! My name is Crystal and I'm your photographer! I'm also your photo retoucher and the woman behind this business (and Valentine Kisses)! I could write a long detailed story about how I got into this style of photography, and how much I love photography, but I'll spare you the long boring detailed story (my love for photography should be obvious or I wouldn't be doing this). The short story is this:

I always took photos of myself for my husband (at the time he was just my boyfriend). Then I started to tell my friends to do the same for their boyfriends and husbands, but they had nobody to take their photos and weren't comfortable doing it themselves. I became their photographer! From there it blossomed from something special I did for my husband, to something I helped friends with, and now to a busy business providing the same services to women all over!

Photography is a big part of my life, but it's not my whole life. I'm also a mother, animal lover, cosmetics addict, multi-business owner, and pole dance lover - yes, pole dancing! It's a fun way to exercise and a fun way to entertain your special someone!!

I hope you consider having a photoshoot at my studio - it's always a fun experience that you'll never forget! Contact me to schedule your photoshoot appointment!

And so you have an idea of what I look like, here are two pictures of me (and one featuring my husband):
