The Y.K. Studio

Welcome, I'm so glad you are here! I am a professional photographer with over 10 years of experience, graduate of the International Center of Photography (ICP) and a recipient of the Director’s Fellowship. My background is in street and fine art photography, which basically means I’m a professional people-watcher who knows how to make it look like art. Why you will love it: * Unique Visual Aesthetic: I provide a distinct artistic look that blends a documentary "real moment" feeling with a refined, fine-art finish. * Experience & Care: I believe a photoshoot should be just as good as the photos. I create a smooth, joyful atmosphere where you can relax, be yourself, and actually have fun hanging out with your favorite people. * Storytelling Over Stiff Posing: We aren't here for "say cheese." I use my documentary background to focus on the small glances, the big laughs, and the messy, beautiful moments in between. * I Speak Fluent "Chaos": Worried about kids running wild or the dog not sitting still? Don't be. I have endless patience, zero judgment, and I’m not afraid to make a fool of myself to get a toddler to smile. * I Go "All In" (Literally): I will climb a tree, lay in the mud, or run backwards down a hill to get the shot. My cardio is your gain. I'm based in Pacifica but available all around Bay Area and beyond. Can't wait to hear from you!
