SmugMug Dry Lake Bed Shoot Out

Earlier today, Scott Bourne and I led our local SmugMug group on our first shoot out.  We wanted to change things up a bit since we've been doing a lot of classroom time for our meetups.  We've been fortunate enough to host the likes of Bambi Cantrell and Rich Harrington, so today we wanted to […]

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.
