Have you ever known a great all-round guy? Well that’s Nick. He is talented, smart and has a great personality. We have been photographing Nick for several years with the PL Dunbar High School Band so he was no stranger to us. Here are a few of my favorite pictures. Kind regards, Valorie

We all have people around us that we admire for one reason or another. Allison is one of those people. I’ve known Allison and her family for many years and have watched Allison work hard to become become a doctor, not just any doctor she and her father are my dentists. She is absolutely amazing in all aspects of her life. I couldn’t have been more happy when I met her fiance (now husband) Tony. I could see why her face lit up every time she spoke of him. Here are a few pictures from their special day. Scott

Molly and David chose a one-of-a-kind Guest Book for their wedding. The cover is a silk brocade “Mimosa” with a beautiful pattern and a lovely texture. The right facing pages have a collage of images from their engagement sitting and the left facing pages were intentionally left blank for their guests “best wishes”. Valorie





Nathan’s Hope is a 5K run/walk to raise money for the Nathan’s Hope Pulmonary Hypertension Clinic at the University of Kentucky Children’s Hospital and to the Nathan Matuszewicz Scholarship Fund at the University of Kentucky in Animal Sciences. Many people are unaware of the life threatening heart ailments that affect the young. Primary Pulmonary Hypertension (PPH) is just one of those diseases. PPH is a lung disorder in which the pressure in the pulmonary artery rises to above normal levels and becomes life threatening.
A young boy named Nathan Matuszewicz who lived in Lexington, Kentucky was diagnosed with this disease in March 1993. The only symptom that made him any different from any other little boy was his shortness of breath. In November of 1998, his medication was no longer working to keep the pressure stable within his lungs, and he was taken to New York to see a specialist in the field of PPH. During a routine cardiac catheterization, Nathan passed away, proving that this wonderful and happy child was really sicker than he ever presented.
Nathan’s family and friends are now working to increase the knowlege and awareness of PPH and help the families who have a loved one diagnosed with PPH.
Event: August 21, 2010 at Keeneland’s Barn #2
Registration: 8 – 9am
Run/Walk: 9am
Activities: Non-competitive 5K route for runners and walkers, raffle, silent auction, face painting, a special visit from Stitches and PPH information booth
For more information please contact Lynette Crist at 333-6458
Please join Scott and myself as we help raise money for Nathan’s Hope. Warmly, Valorie


Have you seen White, Greer & Maggard Orthodontic’s new office in Hamburg? If you have, you’ve seen our portraits adorning their walls. We have been doing work for White, Greer & Maggard Orthodontics for many years and are honored to have our work hang in their office (Nicholasville office as well). The people in the portraits are actually their patients they send to us to photograph, then they use these images for advertising. What a great way to advertise is with your actual patients! Some may seem familiar to you, as you may have seen them in the Chevy Chaser/Southsider monthly magazines.
Also, you may have noticed that the pictures we are showing you are not just of our work but the interiors of their office. They actually have Scott travel to each office and photograph the interiors for later use on their website. Kind regards, Valorie




Fun is how I best describe Tonya and her grandchildren. They had a blast getting their pictures taken and Scott did as well. We have known Tonya and grandchildren since the kids were babies and their mother brought them here to have their pictures taken. Well for Tonya’s birthday, her daughter bought her a gift certificate from Studio Walz. Gift certificates are a wonderful gift idea because every parent loves pictures of their children and grandchildren. Tonya loved her gift as you can see from these pictures. Best regards, Valorie



It never gets old when your work receives a special honor no matter how long you have been a professional photographer. This is especially the case with Scott, he was surprised when the Professional Photographers of America chose one of his images for a full page spread in their magazine. The image chosen has won many awards state, regionally and nationally. Scott won “Court of Honor” in the wedding division on the state level and it went “Loan” on the national level. “Loan” is a prestigious honor in which his image traveled globally in an exhibit.
I feel fortunate to be married to such a talented person as Scott and even better, I get to work with him everyday! My best, Valorie


From the moment Scott and I met Allison and William they have been a joy to work with. Scott photographed them in the studio and at Waveland Museum State Historic Site for their engagement sitting. They are both naturals in front of the camera. I know there wedding pictures are going to be great too. My best, Valorie




I first met Andrew when I was photographing the Henry Clay High School Band. I was pleased when his mother called and ask me to photograph his senior pictures. Andrew is quite a talented young man and he brought his drum and his collection of drum sticks with him. He sure rocked-out the studio when he demonstrated his drumming technique. Scott




Beautiful couple, beautiful location, getting ready for a beautiful wedding. I met Ann and Kevin at the her parent’s home for their engagement sitting. Engagement sittings serve two purposes. Of course, the main reason for the couple is announcing their wedding to family and friends. Mine is to get to know the couple better before the “big” day. I always appreciate these opportunities.
As you can see from these images I’m going to get some fantastic pictures on their wedding day. Scott
