RECENT WORK AND MUSINGS
Just this past weekend after my boyfriend and I watched a movie, we passed by one of our local Borders book stores. With its massive fall into bankruptcy, Borders is now liquidating its inventory with large discounts on every item in the store. Avid readers and seekers of knowledge, we ventured in to browse. He went […]
Here's a quick sneak peek from my sesion recently with fun loving Sonja. A budding journalist working for a local publishing house, Sonja is full of energy, cuteness, and a beaming smile that could light up the Strip! I can honestly say we had such a fabulous time that I walked away feeling like I […]
Here's a quick sneak peek of Indian beauty Anchal. Isn't she just gorgeous in her purple sari? Anchal and I met last Fall and she recently contacted me for a portrait session so that she can enter one of the images into a charity pageant she participating in. I photographed this same pageant last year, […]

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.
