Pricing Overview

I routinely photograph and respect all different cultures, diversity and love! Love is equal. I am grateful to capture that love in any form. 

Capturing the moments in how your family interacts is beautiful! We attach our memories to those experiences, rather then just traditional portraits. With my services you will receive the subtle gestures that convey the love and connection in your family and individually. While ending the session with a traditional portrait. 

Based on my experience of photographing weddings for over 18 years, I feel confident that one of my packages will fit your needs. But every wedding is unique, so please
contact me if you have any questions. 
My packages are flexible.

EVERY BOOKING includes a 30 minute meeting, over phone or in person, prior to the wedding to organize a photo itinerary. Having a photo itinerary will make your day go smoothly and without worry that everything and everyone will be captured.

Lifestyle photography captures you in your surroundings but Art Photography has no limits. I specialize in creative art photography, such as multiple exposures, levitation, unusual environments and motion. These effects help to creative how you actually feel and provoke other people to feel too. Every portrait is a work of art! 

Praise

" It is really hard picking out a photographer since the prices and portfolios vary so much. We noticed lots of photographers showed us amazing and over the top photos that seemed hard to get which would take up most of our wedding day to capture. After meeting with Yve, she reassured us that our wedding day was about us and the photography was only a way of capturing that moment. Additionally, it was super important to us that we actually enjoyed our guests and stayed present during the wedding. She explained to us that she prepares a photo itinerary one week prior, so the couple can decide how much time they want to use for portraits and family photos, with the remaining of candid and photojournalism style. We were relieved to hear of her strategy, so we decided to book her. Yve delivered on all her promises! Our pictures included everything effortlessly. She was able to capture not only our tender moments, but also the wedding through the eyes of our loving family and close friends! Yve was professional, organized, kind, patient, easy with a subtle sense of humor. We would highly recommend her to couples looking for amazing pictures for a reasonable price! "

" We hired Yve to photograph our family of four. Our youngest can be very sensitive to being photographed. I was blown away at her ability to get him to participate. Later I found out that she works also as a preschool teacher, which comes in handy when taking pictures of younger children. She was a natural and patient when taking pictures, which allowed her to capture the essence and dynamic of our family. Truly memorable and worth every penny! I highly recommend her. "

- The Hamlten Family

" I enjoyed working with Yve because of her creative spark, which stands out from other photographers I've worked with in the past. I immediately felt comfortable in her presence which helped translate a natural look and essence in her photos. I loved seeing the results of our shoot and how her imagination and creativity shined through. "

- Leigh E. 

" I hired Yve as my fashion photographer. I have owned my own fashion design company for 10 years and marketing is key to my success. Yve and I worked together to come up with artistic ways to showcase my designs. She is incredibly creative, driven and an artist in her photographic endeavors. We ended up making a collection around the concept of the female explorer. We traveled to Big Sur, Moss Landing, The Boardwalk and she even arranged a sailboat to shoot on. She was not only professional but adventurous! My sales boosted as a result which made the experience exciting for me but also lucrative. "
