The Valerie Marie is a glass-window greenhouse and neighborhood nursery rooted in family and built for community, where we hosts offer greenhouse rentals, women’s gatherings, and seasonal workshops.
The greenhouse is available for rent for beautiful natural light photography. It has a dainty, chic aesthetic with lots of luscious green plants. The sun sets directly behind the greenhouse, making it perfect for golden hour photo shoots.
The plant nursery will open for our Grand Opening on April 4! Join us anytime from 9 a.m.-2 p.m.
Hi, I'm Melody! I am a fellow San Antonio family photographer, and I own the greenhouse. My dad, Ray, is the green thumb and plant enthusiast who operates the nursery!
We built this greenhouse at the end of 2020 as a studio I could use for my clients, and it has bloomed into so much more than we could've ever imagined. Now it's more than a studio; it's a space where my fellow Christian businesswomen can gather, grow, and get creative!
Who is Valerie Marie?
The greenhouse is named in memory of my departed sister, Valerie Marie. Infant loss — as with any loss — is so difficult, and as mothers, with God’s help, we exhibit so much courage, bravery and strength when we go through loss. My prayer is that this house — with its stunning sunlight and lively plant life — will be a space filled with faith and hope in the midst of great loss.
My prayer is that anyone who has experienced loss like this of a child or any other difficult season of life, can enter The Valerie Marie and feel valor and renewed hope that comes from God.
"You will keep in perfect peace those whose minds are steadfast, because they trust in you." Isaiah 26:3
