Smile sparkle shine

Meet Valen Derouen

It all started with a polaroid picture.
I have been a photographer for over 10 years, after falling in love with photography at the age of 4.

Now as a mom, I have learned that pictures are all that we have to remember the journey that we have traveled. Photography proves that, although life comes with obstacles and challenges, those too shall pass, and one day we will look back on photos. We will smile in awe of how far we’ve come, while acknowledging how good God is, has been and forever will be.
