August 31, 2023

When I first met Henry at our canine conditioning and fitness class, I had to do a double-take—at over 70 pounds, this handsome doodle could almost pass for Zayn’s twin! It’s always a joy to connect with fellow dog parents who share the same commitment to keeping our pups happy, healthy, and fulfilled through proper exercise and enrichment.


Sam, Henry’s devoted owner, signed up for our annual pet portrait fundraiser knowing that her session fee would go directly to a cause close to both our hearts. What made this session even more special? The donation came from my dear friend Joyce, who lives out of state but wanted to support our fundraiser and gift Sam with beautiful portraits of Henry.

Photography That Gives Back

During Henry’s dog portrait session, we captured his gentle giant personality—from his signature doodle smile to those soulful eyes that melt hearts. Sam shared that she’d be sending prints back to her family in the UK, a touching reminder of how pet portraits become treasured keepsakes that connect us across distances.

The entire session fee was donated to Animal Aid Unlimited in India, an organization doing incredible rescue and rehabilitation work for street animals. It’s partnerships like this—between generous friends like Joyce, caring pet parents like Sam, and the amazing work of animal welfare organizations—that make our annual pet portrait fundraiser so meaningful.

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.
