Portraits

The Shah Family

I’ve had the pleasure of photographing the Shah family for many years at various events throughout Las Vegas.  And just last year I photographed their son Amar at his blockbuster graduation party to send him off to a 7 year college/medical school program at Cornell.  So when Amar made it back home to Las Vegas […]

The Leddy Family

It was wonderful to have the Leddy Family back in front of my camera for some new and updated portraits. I can’t believe how fast the kids Aaron and Katelyn have grown since I saw them last, but that’s one of the pleasures of being a photographer and sharing in the growth and special moments […]

Welcome Baby Sajan!

I’ve had the pleasure of photographing Preethi and Shivesh’s engagment portraits, maternity session, and now newborn portraits for their brand new bundle of joy, Sajan.  Little Sajan is a special little heart thief and I almost lost my mind photographing this perfect cherub in the loving arms of his parents.  Sajan, welcome to this beautiful […]

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.
