Rohini’s Arangetram

It’s been an absolute pleasure to photograph several Arangetrams over the years, and this one was very special.  Special because we have photographed both of Rohini’s older sister’s Arangetrams and this is the last of the three sisters to complete this wonderful accomplishment.  After years of training and practice, Rohini had reached a level of mastery […]

The Leddy Family

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.
