Val Westover Photography

Val Westover Photography is based in Sparks, Nevada. Val and Stephanie Westover opened their first portrait studio in Laguna Niguel, California back in 1994, and the business has since grown to include a family portrait location serving Reno and the surrounding Nevada communities, Sparks among them.

The long operating history also means the studio has adapted its approach across changing trends in baby portraiture, from classic posed studio work to the more relaxed, milestone-driven packages families ask for today.

The Sparks-area newborn work sits inside a broader portrait practice that also covers maternity, children, high school seniors, and family sessions, so parents who start with a newborn appointment often keep coming back for each birthday and school-year update afterward.

In our 2026 rankings for Sparks, NV, Val Westover Photography placed No. 3 for newborn photography. Rankings are earned through research and can't be bought.

Val Westover Photography has been photographing clients for 32+ years. That three-decade run gives the studio an unusually long track record for newborn and baby portraiture, spanning everything from a baby's earliest days through the milestone sessions that follow as they grow.

The studio traces back to 1994, when Val and Stephanie Westover opened their first location in Laguna Niguel, California, before expanding to serve Reno-area families including Sparks.

Sparks falls within the studio's Nevada service area, alongside Reno and the Lake Tahoe region.

The studio also offers maternity, children's, milestone, and family portrait sessions, so many clients continue working with the same photographer well past the newborn stage.

Because the studio operates across two states, booking during pregnancy is recommended to secure a date within the newborn window.
