The Women Behind the Work

Valentina Pardi- MacGregor

is an Argentinian Italian photographer who specializes in portraits of women across the globe.

A graduate of Marangoni Fashion Institute in Milan, and having lived in 6 countries, Valentina approaches your images through the lens of international style.

Valentina Portraiture began as a home-based photography studio, shared space, and today, has expanded to a custom-built studio situated in Lakeway, an enclave west of Austin and specializes in creating a space where women feel seen, empowered, and beautiful., but perhaps her most mentioned strength is her ability to make anyone comfortable and let the camera reveal each woman’s strength and beauty.

At the center of her work is a devotion to women, how they move through the world, how they rebuild themselves, and how they rise after every chapter life hands them.

Valentina’s purpose is to create a space where a woman doesn’t have to perform; she simply arrives, and the camera meets her exactly where she is.

Her work isn’t just portraiture. It’s a reminder of beauty that doesn’t fade, of identity that evolves, and of the power a woman holds when she stops hiding from her own story.
