At Valley View Photography, every client is welcomed, valued, and celebrated. Located in Newark, Ohio, on an 11-acre, fourth-generation family farm, we strive to create a relaxed, low-stress, and adaptable experience tailored to each individual. Our goal is to capture genuine moments and authentic personalities in an environment where everyone feels comfortable being themselves.

A Farm Rooted in Family and History

Valley View Farm is more than just a place to take photographs — it’s a place filled with family history, cherished memories, and generations of hard work.

The farm was named and owned by Preston and Louis Finney. Louis helped make the purchase of additional farmland possible by selling chicken eggs from the basement of the family property, while Preston tended the crops and raised dairy cows. Through their dedication and hard work, they built a legacy that continues to this day.

The property is now home to its fourth generation of the Finney family. Nicole Garrison, the photographer behind Valley View Photography, was raised in her great-grandparents’ home and now lives in her grandparents’ home — both right here on Valley View Farm.

Over the years, this special place has also been home to countless 4-H projects for children in the neighborhood, making it a place where families, animals, and community have always been at the heart of farm life.

Capturing Moments, Continuing a Legacy

Valley View Photography is a way to share the beauty and history of this special place while creating lasting memories for others. Every session helps preserve the farm’s legacy and supports its future.

Proceeds will go toward the continued care, maintenance, and improvement of Valley View Farm, with the hope of one day welcoming a Highland cow to the property.

Thank you for being part of our story. We look forward to capturing yours!
