Graciela is an expert in her field. Watching her direct and execute a photoshoot is like watching someone paint a work of art. She is dedicated, punctual, and extremely professional but also goes with the flow. She offers lots of great ideas and you can tell she is passionate and proud of her work. She has a quick turnaround time and overall is one of the best photographers I’ve seen in action. 

What I enjoyed most about the experience was the teamwork between everyone involved; the honesty and transparency that manifested during out shoot; and the organization and ease with which it was executed.  I like my photos and am excited to use them! This was a lovely experience and I would recommend it!

I was looking for someone to take some pictures for my website and I am happy that I chose Graciela. I have been unsatisfied with photo sessions in the past as posing for pictures feels so unnatural to me. Graciela immediately put me at ease as we laughed preparing for the shoot. The fun continued throughout the session as she captured genuine smiles. The turnaround time with the finished shots was quick and my friends raved when they saw them. I applaud her for getting the best from me.

I was referred to Ms. Valdes by a trusted friend after seeing her exceptional work for a Tomorrow's Rainbow event.  The pictures were beautiful and the attention to detail demonstrated Ms. Valdes' immense talent as a photographer.  I did not hesitate to book a session. What I liked most about the experience was the organic quality of the experience.  By this I mean that my daughter was photographed in a way that I believe captured her natural essence and beauty without too much emphasis on contrived poses. The final products more than met my expectations. I would certainly recommend Ms. Valdes' services to my friends!

I used Plum Blossom Photography for some head shots that I needed taken. Graciela immediately put me at ease and I felt so relaxed preparing for the shoot. I am not a person that photographs easily, so this was something that I have never had before from a photographer. The photos came out beautiful, thanks you Gracie, and I have since recommended her to everyone who needs photos taken for every occasion. Love, love, love her!!!!!

Gracie is the ultimate professional and a very giving person.  When we met, she told me about her photography business and how she also loved giving back to the community.  She volunteered right away to take pictures for the Ventilator Assisted Children’s Center Campers.  What struck me is that she captured these children through her lens in a way that focused on their abilities and they shined in their pictures.  Naturally, I turned to her to take my family pictures and they turned out beautiful and natural, which was exactly what I requested.
