“Girls armed with bullet bras and crimson lips, dangerous curves and red fintertips – is all in a day’s work for this girl!”

Now that you know what I do for a living, I thought I’d share a little more about myself.  When I’m not snapping away I’m makin’ noise in my band, The Righteous Devices, and have opened up for acts such as Exene Cervenka & The Original Sinners, Theo & The Skyscrapers and The Birthday Massacre. I’m a self-taught bassist, a lover of animals and of all things rock n’ roll.

After graduating from The Art Institute of Ft. Lauderdale, I walked away with the prize of Best Portfolio and a dream of becoming a full-time photographer. I found my niche in pin-up photography and have been working steadily ever since transforming girls into pin-up queens - shooting commercial assignments and everything in between.

I currently reside in Miami, FL where I was born into a Cuban-Irish family and raised on sunshine and café con leche. I now spend most of my time in Hollywood, FL where I work out of my colorful lil’ photo studio located inside an eccentric antique dealers’ building.

Always equipped with a sense of humor, an easy-going attitude and my trusty Canon, I’ve made it my business to transform the girl-next-door into a pin-up queen, quicker than a girl can bat her lashes!

TESTIMONIALS
Angel Jagger (Make-up Artist and Hair Stylist)
I love teaming up with Valentine! Janette, is not only a talented photographer... we became true friends.
She's very professional, creative and shows great respect to everyone around her. It's always a pleasure
being part of the team! Thank you for all the fun times and many more to come... Cheers, Angel Jagger 

Jessica Ellis  (Art Director)
Not only is Miss Valentine is a force to be reckoned with her boundless energy, effusive ideas and instantly
infectious laugh, but she also has the amazing ability to capture the essence of her subjects in such a
manner that the photographs fully leap into reality. She has also impressed me with the positivity, kindness
and care that she takes with her crew and her models. Working with her for a day is more like laughing, playing
dressup and sharing stories with your best friend.

Maytee Bringas  (Tattoo Artist and Illustrator)
Working with Miss Valentine is always a fun time. She makes you feel like a bomb shell when her camera starts
to shoot. I don't know how she does it ,but this gal is a pro. From make-up,wardrobe,to the set, you name it, she
can do it all. Her originality and charisma set her apart from all the rest. I look forward to working with her again in
shooting more of her girly creations.

Marit (Owner Hell’ Belles)
Miss Valentine's got a knack for translating regular women - moms, junk yard owners, bartenders, drivers of
broken down jalopies - into  smokin' bombshells, all perfectly coiffed and poised. Hell's Belles Finishing School
for Girls would be in a sorry state without her  photographic brilliance.
