About Valerie Peterman Photography

Making Memories out of Moments

I am a natural light photographer who specializes in wedding and family portraiture in Greensburg, Pa and surrounding areas. I first fell in love with photography while capturing life through my children's eyes through a camera lens. Being able to freeze time for a split second to hold onto these precious moments gave me a profound emotional connection towards portraiture. When a photograph can make someone smile, laugh, and even cry, that's something beautiful that I feel everyone should experience. I have two gorgeous children and who keep me on my toes every single day. With a lot of luck, hard work, and gratitude to my husband, I became a stay-at-home mom to allow more one on one time with my children. I always enjoyed photography, so I decided to pick up my camera and learn by exploring and taking shot after shot. I chased all of the golden hours I could find, and instantly fell in love. I then began to create beautiful images beyond my wildest dreams. I'm ready to meet you and help you with your vision. Together we will create magic! Here is a bit about me: I love my family and friends. They are my heart and soul. I am proud that my children love to listen to Queen in the car and sing loud and proud for all to hear! I enjoy taking walks. It provides me with so much mental clarity. I find great joy in painting with watercolors. I love to dance and pretend I can sing in the car with my kids. I went to Disney for the first time when I was 35 years old. I am honest, kind, and often become friends with my clients! I have a background in Early Childhood Education, specifically Early Intervention Services working with children with special needs and their families.
