You are a Masterpiece;
Meeting yourself where you are right now.

No longer will we accept a narrow standard of beauty

that seeks to edge us out.

WE ARE BEAUTIFUL!

No longer will we believe our time has past.

WE ARE RELEVANT!

We are changing the narrative...

With your help we are initiating a world-wide movement,

A REVOLUTION!

Whether you feel invisible, empowered or somewhere in between,

Know that You are Loved & Needed & Your Story is Important!

We intend to disrupt & transform the way we are viewed

(or forgotten) by the media and the world at large...and yourself...

by putting out beautiful, authentic images and real stories of ourselves!

This is your chance to be seen and heard and celebrate YOU! 

I'm Val Carr and I am a portrait photographer in Des Moines, IA and I also travel.

I am here to serve you. I want to empower you to fall in love with yourself again. I encourage and support you to show up for yourself. Right now...you are perfect as you are.

I have an amazing gift of connecting with others and seeing their beauty and strength when they may not see it or feel it. I get it, self care is a challenge. In this day and age we are so busy with our careers or our family that we get lost in all of that and forget about ourselves.

I want to bring you back to you. I want to celebrate you. I will create the most amazing photos you have ever seen of yourself. I want you to have legacy prints that will outlive us all and you will have them to pass down for generations to come.
