For more than 37 years, storytelling has been the heart of everything I do.

As an Emmy Award-winning television producer, photographer, documentary filmmaker,

and visual storyteller, I’ve dedicated my career to creating images and stories that educate, inspire,

preserve history, and celebrate the human spirit.

During my career with Fairfax County Government Television, I produced award-winning programs,

documentaries, public education campaigns, and community stories that reached audiences

throughout Northern Virginia and beyond. Along the way, my work has been recognized

with an Emmy Award and more than 40 national media awards.

Today, I continue that passion through Valerie Bey Photography, where I create timeless portraits

and event photography while also producing documentary films, nonprofit media, podcasts,

and digital storytelling projects.

My current work includes producing the Blood, Sweat & Cells podcast for the

Heart of Gold Sickle Cell Foundation of Northern Virginia, documenting the rich history of the

Chinn family, and partnering with nonprofit organizations to create media that informs, inspires,

and creates meaningful change.

Whether I’m behind a camera, producing a documentary, interviewing a family historian,

or photographing life’s most important moments, my goal remains the same:

Every story deserves to be told with authenticity, compassion, and excellence.
