Nonprofit STORYTELLING
One of the biggest passions of my work is to highlight the way in which nonprofits serve others. Nonprofit storytelling allows us to tell this untold story. Done through engaging photos, videos, and interviews with nonprofit staff and people they work with, nonprofit storytelling helps the public, donors, volunteers, and guests understand the impact nonprofits have on our community.
Need help fundraising or explaining how your nonprofit makes a difference? Contact me to learn more about how visual nonprofit storytelling can help detail the important work your nonprofit is doing and how others can get involved.

“We recently worked with Valerie on a video for a community luncheon, which was a fundraiser. Valerie was professional and a joy to work with. She was able to interview possible candidates for the video and pick the best ones for the message we wanted to convey. Her turnaround time, with requests during editing, was fast and efficient, making this a stress-free project. Thanks, Valerie!”

Hi, I’m Val
I’ve spent my entire career meeting and connecting with people to authentically tell their story.
It began with my formal education, as I earned a master’s degree in photojournalism at the University of Missouri; here I learned to tell a story with photographs. Then I spent seven years honing my craft as a newspaper staff photographer/videographer.
In this digital day and age, one of the most valuable things people and businesses have are their stories. I truly believe visual storytelling is the most powerful way to move an audience and help us all better connect.
