My name is Vala Grenier. 

Apparently I haven't been getting notifications so really, I haven't been ignoring people! ...must check here more often...
Well, I'm still not caught up on my editing, so I'm restricting shooting for the next while.
If you want to pay me, you get priority.
If we have already discussed shooting, remind me.  I have no memory left.
If you have an absolutely killer idea...I may not be able to resist...but be gentle

I'm now doing boudoir/glamour portrait sessions.  $200 includes full use of costumes and props, aprox 1 to 2 hours of studio time, full size and websized jpegs of your top 12 images (and any others I particularly like) and $25 print credit. Hair and/or makeup is extra and varies with the particular artist(s).  Also discounts on more prints (I can go up to 13x19 inches myself, bigger if we outsource) and photobooks.

I've been shooting professionally since 1989.  I do all sorts of portraits, model portfolios etc.  I like to play in Photoshop, since I closed my darkroom.  Lately I've been playing with rim lighting and people emerging from darkness.  I'm fond of black and white and the sabattier effect (see Manray).
I will do nude and erotica.  I don't drive, so I prefer people to come to my studio.  I have a garden that is suitable for (discrete) photography in warm seasons.

I'm still doing selected TFCD/P if you have an interesting look/concept. 
I do shoot stock I only do tfcd/p with models willing to sign an istock model release.  Don't worry, I'll only submit images you have approved for that usage.  My stock portfolio is at http://www.istockphoto.com/valagrenier
My rates for paying customers are (still) very reasonable.

I am allergic to fragrances, so if you come to my studio, PLEASE do not wear perfume or heavily scented products.
If you are allergic to cats let me know in advance.  I keep the felines out of the studio (unless they volunteer to be props), but we do have 4, so I may need to do a bit of extra cleaning:)
