Valerie Sorrells is a portrait and event photographer based out of Rochester, NY.
It all started when her father gave her that first camera when she was 6, a Kodak 110. Then the boxes of negatives and prints started gathering. A love affair was born.
She moved around quite a bit, all over the East coast with her family. This taught her how to look, and find details in life and to adjust to any situation.
Graduating university with a degree in Photography and Sculpture she chose to work with the camera instead of the torch. Not because she didn't love welding, because she didn't want to burn down her house.
Then the desk job. Fourteen years she worked with some great people over at Kodak in the digital camera division. Using some of the very first DSLR cameras ever built. She traveled to Europe and Asia to teach others, and share her love of photography.
Then comes a time when you want to be your own boss. She started her business in 2008 and hasn't looked back. Portraits, weddings, events are the crux of what she captures. This past year she started teaching photography at the local rec center.
She has purple hair. . She is a volunteer Ski Patroller, on a snowboard. Her nicknames are Mama-tonton, evil girl, and wifey. She always stops and smells the roses.
Living with two young Jedi, volunteering, teaching, capturing images...
