About

I am a Headshot, Portrait and Event Photographer in the Northern NJ / NYC area specializing in “Stopping Time” for clients. I provide companies, actors, musicians and models with unique headshots capturing their essence and provide families with photos that bring tears to their eyes now and will bring back beautiful memories in the future.

I am an emotional photographer.  I am most concerned with the emotion and character that I’m capturing. My most treasured feedback is “you captured the essence of who she is.” Even for a corporate headshot, it’s still important that your personality comes through.

Stopping time means providing photos that capture that special something that reminds you of how your child was at that time. Expressions that they make. Their distinct personality. Or how they interact with you or their siblings. I capture the photos so you can remember that exact moment in time. I can be a very silly person, so be forewarned, there may be some rolling down hills. Okay, fine, the kids can roll with me.

For actor, musician and model headshots, my style is very relaxed and fun.  I want to portray you as who you really are and allow you to engage with your audience through my camera.

For events, my goal is to not only capture the flow and important moments of any event, corporate or private, but also find those great moments that you may not even have known happened. Special moments between siblings, a parent a child, with a grandparent – or even a pet.

At corporate events, seeking and capturing those moments that capture the essence of the event – the décor, the attendee interactions, etc. What comes out as silliness during family photo sessions manifests as personable & easy-going during corporate work. I put people at ease so they photograph as they really are.

“As a magazine editor, I have tremendous respect for a good photographer and I am thrilled with your work! Not only did you capture the spirit of my sons and my niece and nephew with your camera, your personality and comfort level with kids brought out each of their unique charms. It was a pleasure, and I will share your name whenever possible.”

Best, Teresa Akersten

…You did a superb job of capturing the spirit of the event in a way that did not interrupt, but rather added to, the fun!”
Jill Baker, Executive Director, PlaySmart, Inc.

I love love love the photos Yasmeen took of our wedding weekend. She captured all the important, special moments that I will want to remember and the photos are beautiful. The process was great – she was mellow and easy to work with. I have been recommending her to everyone I know for all kinds of events and portrait sessions.”

“After seeing her recommended on the Mothers & More e-loop, we did a photo shoot with Yasmeen last weekend. In the event that anyone else is looking into this, I just wanted to share that working with Yasmeen was an absolute delight!

She was quickly able to draw my shy 2.5 year old out of her shell and also worked her magic to get many great shots of my 9 month old. I’m so happy with how the photos turned out!

The shoot itself was a lot of fun and I liked and appreciated how she encouraged us to just do what we normally do while she unobtrusively snapped away. I feel like she really captured who we are and was able to get a wide range of shots that I absolutely adored. The only hard part was choosing which ones I liked best!”

“Yasmeen just took our family photos and did a TERRIFIC job!
She’s easy to work with, and is particularly talented with kids – capturing our squirmy toddler in some beautiful shots.”
Molly Raskin

“Thanks so much Yasmeen. It’s not easy to capture individual shots of three todlers and then a group photo. You nailed it. The pictures are beautiful. The girls loved their photo session and can’t wait until next time!”
Jennifer Vickery Flournoy

“Yasmeen captured moments of joy and silliness during our shoot, and we are thrilled with the photos she took of our family! Thank you!”
