About Valeria

Born in the heart of Mexico City and raised among the rolling landscapes of Upstate New York, my love for photography began as a childhood fascination—one fueled by borrowing my father’s vintage camera gear and getting lost in nature. What started as a playful curiosity soon became a lifelong obsession.

I pursued my passion at New York University, studying Film and Communication, and later refining my artistic voice with an MFA in Photography in Paris, France. There, I first stepped behind the scenes of Paris Fashion Week, capturing raw, fleeting moments backstage, and working with emerging brands in Paris, New York City, and eventually Mexico City.

With an insatiable wanderlust and a deep-rooted love for nature, I eventually settled in Vancouver, Canada—a place where towering mountains and coastlines offer endless inspiration. My work blends fashion, portraiture, and storytelling, always with a hint of the natural world woven into the frame.

Beyond the lens, you’ll find me baking French baguettes, playing with my toddler, wiping fruit juice off a sweatshirt, or adventuring around a mountain with my little familia.

I am the happiest when photographing people in their most authentic forms—so long as there’s a plant or two in the shot. Let’s work together!
