A little about me....
Welcome to Faded Frames Photography! I am excited you are here.
I grew up in Cheney and raised my 3 adult children here. I love the PNW and have chosen it as my forever home. For those that know me, know I pride myself on being a Mom of 3, Mother in Law to 2, Grandma of 4, fur-mama of 2 Chihuahuas and a happy wifey.
Growing up, I was always interested in Photography, I knew I loved it, but never got to dive into this passion of mine until the last few years. My late Dad and I loved to do this as a hobby together. I think he went to every event of my children's and we took pictures and video of their every move.
I am constantly trying to research and learn everything I can about this amazing process. I'm proud of the skills I've learned and the quality of my work. I am confident in my artistic eye and excited to see what we can create for you! I hope you will let me help share your story!
Kids and pets? yes! Lakefront or wheat field? yes! Middle of the road somewhere? heck yes!!!
Let's do it, and have a ton of fun at the same time!!

A++ quality! Valerie has an eye for the moment that you'll want to cherish forever. She is fun and so personable time flies and before you know you have 1800 photos to scroll through. Valerie is professional and truly cares for her clients. I delayed doing our family photos for years, but now that I have Valerie, they will be a regular event! My advice... don't put it off, capture your loved ones during every season!

Valerie is amazing! She listened to what we were looking for in our pictures and ran with it. You can tell she is very passionate about her job and in the end delivers a fantastic product! She had us all laughing throughout the entire session. Book your appointment today with her, you won't be disappointed!

I've hired Valerie Mitchell for 2 sets of senior photos and a family photo shoot. She scouted out some AMAZING local locations and did a phenomenal job capturing the personalities of everyone involved, including 2 kiddos with Autism, a reluctant fiance and a whole herd of animals.
I've recommended her over and over to anyone looking for a photographer, and I will always continue to do so.
I know personally that she's constantly researching and learning and honing her craft. She's truly an artist.
