meet the photographer

Hi, I’m Chelsey Valentine and photography is more than my passion, it’s my purpose.

I’m a 30-year-old wife and mama to three beautiful children. Originally from the beautiful island of Guam, I’m now based in Kitsap County, Washington, where I get to live out my dream of capturing life’s most meaningful moments through Valentine Photography.

For the past 10 years, I’ve walked into people’s lives with a camera in hand and a heart ready to listen. Whether I’m capturing the joy between two people in love, the strength of a senior stepping into a new chapter, or the boldness of a business owner showing up in their calling, I consider it an honor.

As a photographer, I believe every story deserves to be told with grace, care, and intention. I don’t just show up to take pictures. I show up to see you, to celebrate who you are, and remind you that you are seen, known, and beautifully created by God.

Connection means everything to me. I’ll laugh with you, listen to your story, encourage you, and pray for you if you need it. I want you to feel safe, celebrated, and confident to simply be yourself because that’s the version I love to capture.. the real, the radiant YOU.

This isn’t just my job. It’s my ministry. And I’m deeply grateful for every soul I get to meet along the way.

In addition to photography, I also share weekly devotionals and Bible reflections on Valfaith Bible Study Blog. It’s a space on my website where faith, encouragement, and everyday life come together. Whether you're seeking inspiration, a deeper understanding of Scripture, or simply a reminder that you're not alone in your walk with God, you’re invited to join me there. It’s another way I love to connect, uplift, and grow in grace together.

Let’s create something timeless and meaningful together in photos and in faith.
