As 2025 comes to a close, I’m overwhelmed with gratitude for every client who trusted me with their stories this year. Whether you were new to Shalimar Studios or a returning friend, thank you for choosing me to capture your moments.

Making a Difference Together

Our Annual Pet Portrait Fundraiser was another incredible success—we’ve now raised over $4,100 for animal rescues through this initiative. Every wagging tail, every portrait session has helped animals find their forever homes. This work is deeply personal to me, and I’m honored you’ve been part of it.

Creative Partnerships

This year brought amazing content creation collaborations with brands like Royal Palms Resort, Village Camp properties, and tourism partners throughout Arizona and the Southwest. From luxury hospitality to pet-friendly adventures, each partnership pushed my creative boundaries and resulted in authentic visual storytelling through photography, video, and drone work.

What’s Next: 2026

I’m already planning exciting additions for the new year:

  • New studio sets with elevated, editorial aesthetics
  • Cinematic storytelling options for personal branding and lifestyle content
  • Heirloom collections designed to become gallery-quality family treasures
  • Innovative techniques that ensure your images stand out

The goal? Images that make you feel something real.

Here’s to You

Thank you for being part of this journey. You’re not just clients—you’re part of something bigger. Here’s to more connection, creativity, and impact in 2026.

With gratitude,
Yasmin

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.
