They call me paparazzi Dee
LIFESTYLE, FAMILY, EVENTS & BTS PHOTOGRAPHER
I'm Denise, founder of The Valencia Studios. My passion for photography drives me to capture life's candid and memorable moments, whether at family gatherings, special events, or everyday scenes. Known as ‘Paparazzi Dee’ among friends, I love preserving memories forever. With a lifelong love for photography, a spirit for adventure, and a dog mom to Pepper, my mini schnauzer, I’m excited to connect with clients and help them tell their unique stories through authentic, heartfelt photography.
Timeless Style in my own way
My photography style is a blend of everything, with a passion for capturing candid moments that reveal the authenticity of each experience. I thrive on the spontaneity of life, always ready to document those genuine interactions. I also love to experiment with different editing styles, creating images that can be moody, warm, or airy and bright, depending on the mood and vision. My goal is to bring your vision to life through my lens, ensuring each photo resonates with the unique story you want to tell.
Growing up
Growing up, I had a fascination with photography that blossomed into a lifelong passion. Each year on my birthday, I would treat myself to a new camera, eager to explore different styles and techniques. This habit not only fueled my creativity but also allowed me to capture the world through my unique lens. In high school, I joined the yearbook class, which fueled my passion for photography even more. Armed with my camera, I roamed the school, capturing candid moments and vibrant personalities of my fellow classmates. Whether it was a spontaneous laugh in the hallway or the excitement of a school event, I loved documenting the essence of our shared experiences. This opportunity not only sharpened my skills but also deepened my appreciation for storytelling through images, ultimately shaping my journey as a photographer.
