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 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. 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 in a city called Surfers Paradise as it has always been my dream to live right next the beach.

Next to traveling (and taking loads of photos), I also love dogs and coffee (who doesn't?), yummy food, and I'm a huge sports fan: yoga, dancing, fitness… you name it! I constantly try to grow and dedicate my full energy and attention to what I do - showing up with passion, drive & humor, believing that there is always something to learn everyday and by everyone.

When you're a photographer, you get to be a witness to the most intimate moments of people's lives. It's so important to capture those moments not just with your camera, but with a smile on your face and a genuine interest in the person(s) you're photographing. I love being able to capture the beauty of human spirits and lovestories through my lens - it's what really excites me. I am also very passionate about fashion and editorial photography as it allows me to become creative together with other brands and creatives. I get excited about photography so much that it's been like a dream come true to be able to combine my passion for travel, meeting new people and photography into one job.

Cant wait to meet you !

xx Valerie
