Behind The Camera

Hi I'm Yasmine, but you can call me Yazzy!

& I am based in Tampa, Florida.

Here's a little backstory on me & my why:

I grew up in Miami, Florida with my 3 siblings, & was raised by an Egyptian dad, American momma, and Cuban babysitters. Needless to say, my life has been enriched by family, culture, travel... oh & delicious food!

I got my creative side from my momma. Though her humility would never allow her to admit her talent, she's an incredible artist, musician, writer... and of course, MOTHER. People always ask me what inspired my artistic side, and when I look back on my life - answers always point to the moments I'd flip through the pages of her drawing books, the ones when i'd listen to the blissful celtic music she'd play on her flute, and the ones when I'd practice my handwriting to get it as perfect as hers (though i never could).

But the most beautiful part of observing my mom was admiring how damn good she was at motherhood. It wasn't until I became a mother myself that I realized what it really is to be one, and how powerful, invigorating, selfless, sacrificing, and emotional it is. And it gave me a newfound appreciation and pride in being not just a mother, but a woman.

I love to capture all aspects related to the beauty of women and their lives - motherhood, pregnancy, families, couples, solo women, career-oriented women, etc.... you get the point!

My passion for photography goes beyond just snapping shots - what truly makes my heart flutter is showing people how beautiful they are & giving them memories that they will cherish forever.
