Nevada Landscapes – An Aerial Perspective

I admit it.  I'm just like everyone else who can get bored with their surroundings.  I'm a creature of habit but my photography has forced me to look at the same things in different ways.  Not just in a different light, but from different perspectives, from new eyes, and with a different heart. Okay, I […]

Alex

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 […]

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.
