Welcome to my Blog!

Hi! My name is Valerie Dietsche. I am a wife of ten years and a homeschooling mom of three beautiful children. After a couple of stints overseas, we've now been settled for several years in our little fixer-upper in small-town America. Photography has been an interest of mine for a while, but just recently have I begun pursuing it as more than just a hobby. I love nature and being outdoors, as you can probably tell by many of my photos. I am now branching out into photographing people, as well. Other interests of mine include reading, (both personally and with my kids), good music, good coffee, and good company! You'll learn a lot more about me as you follow along with my random assortment of blog posts, and hopefully you'll also enjoy the photos along the way.

Thanks for stopping by, and please say hello!

p.s.--Please do not use or reproduce my photos without permission. Thanks!

a couple of clowns

i was looking through old pictures the other day and came across one of the clues that matt and i must have been meant for each other.  i mean, not every kid on the block had a hand-sewn clown costume, complete with rick-rack lined pointy hat!  hopefully you can tell who’s who.

Birthday, Butch’s, Barack, Babysitters, & Bed!

i apologize for neglecting my blog a bit as of late.  i have been feeling really physically and mentally zapped of energy these past couple of weeks.  when i am not thinking about my upcoming photography show or trying to keep a handle on managing home/school/kids, all i can think about is how much...
