Meet the duo responsible for creating all the senior portraits you see on this site. The experience they create makes girls (and moms) wanting more. They allow everyone who comes into the studio to feel like she is the best, most beautiful version of HERSELF. Senior pictures only happen once, so make sure you work with people who understand what YOU want and how you make YOU shine the way you should.
We will take you from ordinary senior pics to a spectacular senior photography experience. My experience with Valerie Ott's senior session was amazing! The hair and makeup done by Sarah brought out my inner confidence that will for sure show through in my pictures. I didn't have any idea on how I wanted my makeup, but Sarah made the final product more than I could ever image!

So about two or three days ago I had my senior session with Valerie and wow was it amazing. The whole time I felt so comfortable with what I was doing, how I looked, just everything. I am beyonddddd excited to see my pictures. Val and Sarah are so amazing to be around and so good at what they are. First of all, Valerie and Sarah make a great team.
In late 2015, Valerie and Sarah decided to specalize ONLY in senior photography. It was an easy decision, based on the fact that most of their clients were seniors, and seniors were the most fun for both of them. They had a staff meeting and came up with the bee as the mascot. Sarah told Valerie that she always thought of the bee.
Before we talk about pricing, let's talk about what we believe. We believe that all people should feel beautiful, especially at a time when girls struggle to understand what beauty really is. Social media has pulled our girls into unrealistic expectations about beauty, instead of looking at true beauty.

Valerie was wonderful to work with for both my husband and I. We had a consultation phone call to discuss expectations and she shared suggestions for the session. She also scheduled a zoom call and we walked through all the outfit options. In between those two calls, I was able to text her with questions and photos. She was very responsive. I opted to have Sarah style my hair and apply makeup. Sarah is amazing! She talked through the process with me to be sure she captured my style, just elevated to the next level. I could hang out with Valerie and Sarah all day! They have a great relationship

I had a session with Valerie and I cannot say enough about how amazing it was. Make-up by Sarah was so comfortable and she brought out my features to their best ever.
Valerie walked me through the process from what to wear, to posing tips; making it fun and relaxing.
As a mature woman I was proud to look at the images and say “ she captured me”.
I am using her images on my Instagram and the response has been positive.
I would totally recommend this as a gift to yourself.

Kind and Professional! We had the best time with Valerie Ott Photography at our elopement. She was so quiet we couldn't even tell she was taking our photos. She wasn't invading our personal space and she was the most professional photographer I have worked with or seen in a long time! Her portfolio is so beautiful and very creative and she is someone we will continue to use for many many years. We have a Senior next year and we are definitely going to book a session with Valerie!

Valerie and Sarah were awesome! Definitely will come back when I need photos! Everything was so organized. I didn’t have to worry about exact details she had it all taken care of when I arrived. I love there creative ideas! Every photo we took was nothing like my friends or any other photographer around, always unique. I love how they added my personality to the photos. Thank you Valerie and Sarah!!!

Valerie and Sarah work incredibly well together!! I highly recommend Sarah for hair and makeup for the senior photo session. She was spot on and worked with my daughter to make sure she looked like herself. Most of all she listed to my daughter's likes and dislikes. Valerie was able to easily talk with and work with my daughter to make her feel at ease during the photo session!! I can't wait to see the photos now!! 10+ Stars!!

I absolutely LOVED my senior session with Sarah and Val. Sarah blew me away with her makeup and hair skills. She did exactly what I wanted for my session, and made it better than I thought it would be. Val was so encouraging after every picture set. She made me feel like a powerful queen bee! Her photos are amazing and I recommend her to any HS senior looking for their perfect senior photo session. These two are the power duo for senior photos!
