About me
My name is Valerie and I am the creative force behind Habin Jones Photography. Many people often ask me about the origin of this name. When I was a little child, I was always very imaginative and had already come up with a name for my creative self: Habin Jones. Together with my friends, we would come up with stories, filming each other with my dad’s camcorder creating our own little movies. I even took that camcorder to school sometimes, recognizing already back then how important it was to document moments in life for years to come. Many years later, during a sabbatical and self-discovery phase, my passion for crafting stories with photography resurfaced and I decided to take it to another level. It was also the moment when the name Habin Jones, a symbol of my creative and passionate younger self, came back to memory.
Since 2019, I live in Berlin (Germany), I love hanging out with my friends and family, and going on adventures with my husband and my little daughter. I would describe myself as a very curious person who enjoys the little moments in life and loves to explore the world. I grew up in small town near hanover, went for a high school to the U.S. at a very young age and later I did my Master's degree in Marketing in Australia to meet new people from different backgrounds. In Australia I lived at the Gold Coast as it has always been my dream to live right next the beach.
Photography allows me to witness the most intimate, emotional parts of people’s lives. I don’t just show up with a camera, but with presence, empathy, and a deep appreciation for every story I get to tell. Whether it's a quiet glance or an explosive laugh, I’m here for the real, the raw, and the beautiful in-between.
Being able to combine my love for travel, people, and art into one profession feels like the greatest gift. I can’t wait to meet you and capture your story.
xx Valerie
