One word…Alex.  Gorgeous.  Beautiful.  Stunning.  Intelligent.  This girl is a one of a kind.  Her name is Alex and the first time I saw her pictures, I knew I wanted to work with her.  At the time she was working at the MAC cosmetics counter and we had been introduced through a mutual friend.  Unfortunately our first attempt for a photo shoot didn't pan out, but I'm a firm believer that everything happens for a reason.  So when I recently purchased my studio lights, we tried it again, and voila!  Now a Ph.D. candidate at UNLV, Alex's days and nights are filled with unlimited amounts of reading, grading papers and lectures, so an evening away from all that in front of my camera proved to be just the thing for her, and for me.

Alex and I hit it off right away.  Her Picses was the perfect match to my Scorpio, and we quickly realized our mutual interest in bookstores on Friday nights, need for intelligent conversations with our partners, and of corse our love of traveling.  The more we talked the more we bonded and I think her ease in front of the camera really came through.  Alex was fun, flirty and up for anything.  Even when I brought out a 10″ knife!  So check out the images below of my new friend Alex, and if you are up for a fun, creative studio session the give me a call and we'll set it up!

BEHIND THE LENS

ABOUT yasmin

I believe in real moments and chasing sunsets. In the kinds of images that remind you of the joy that can be found in the simplest of moments.

I believe in creating images that demand to be printed—framed in fine art materials and displayed as the heirlooms they're meant to become. My approach is both editorial and intimate, capturing not just faces but the emotional landscape of your life. Each portrait is thoughtfully composed to reveal your authentic story while honoring the beauty of the world around you. Your journey is extraordinary and entirely your own, and I'm here to preserve it with the artistry it deserves.
