I highly recommend Yolanda for any type of photography you may need. I have hired her multiple times and every time was blown away with my photos.Things that made me give the experience 5 stars is- very organized- clear and timely response to any of my questions-goes above and beyond to make sure you are comfortable and feeling confident-well planned out locations for photos- she is very passionate about her job

Absolutely stunning photography by Yolanda, she worked hard to help make our special day as easy as possible. Her direction was clear and concise, and helped us to get all the different kinds of shots we wanted. We enjoyed getting to know her, and felt absolutely confident in her hands that we would get the wedding photos we wanted. Speedy previews, and an amazing special gift from Yolanda. Thanks so much!

I’ve been in front of Yolandas camera a handful of times now over the years and every time I swear her work just gets better and better!Yolanda makes you feel incredibly at ease and comfortable and has such a way with directing you into candid poses that don’t make you feel awkward or un-natural. She’s an awesome hype-girl and I just LOVE working with her! As a Professional Makeup Artist working in the industry myself, I’m constantly giving out Yolandas name to my friends and clients as I truly do believe she’s one of the very best Vancouver Island has to offer.

Working with Yolanda to take photographs for my portfolio website was an amazing experience. I spoke with her in advance and sent inspiration photographs for my personal branding and the location selected was perfect for what I wanted. We chose to do a variety of outfits within the shoot and took photos with different landscapes in the background so that my website would have variety. An extremely talented photographer and really knows how to make you feel comfortable in front of the camera. I am so pleased with the final product and it was a pleasure to work with her!

I reached out to Yolanda with an unclear vision of my husband and I in a lake wearing our wedding attire. She was instantly on board and worked with me to develop my vision into a clear concept. Our conversation prior to the session were full of positivity and clear communication. In person, Yolanda is the perfect balance of warmth and knowledge. She effortlessly posed us while simultaneously drawing out genuine smiles and intimate moments to make every photo authentic. I am so impressed by our experience, and the images leave me speechless. Yolanda will be our first choice to capture life events or creative projects in the future.

It’s a pleasure to work with Yolanda. I hired her for branding photography for my ceramics studio in Cumberland and the entire process flowed very easily; I explained my vision and immediately Yolanda understood the assignment and totally captured the vibe I was going for. Yolanda was hilarious and her entire demeanour is very friendly; you will immediately feel comfortable and at ease in her presence. Thanks Yolanda!

For how intense organizing and executing a wedding can be, it was incredibly reassuring having Yolanda take care of capturing the best moments. She is supportive and able to seamlessly work with the ceremony.My wife and I, as well as our family couldn't be happier with how our big day was documented, plus the pictures were really easy to access afterwards. We would recommend her to anyone!

Yolanda went above and beyond to capture most beautiful pictures I've ever seen. I ended up crying seeing the first look photos of my mom and oma. I am so so great full she captured so many special moments and that we can cherish them forever. Yolanda also provided a beautiful keepsake to hold a hard copy of our photos and provided us with prints. Yolanda is incredibly professional, inspiring and amazing. Anyone would be lucky to work with her!

Yolanda and I have worked together on a few projects and collaborations. She is a delight to work with as well as being professional. When I got married last year our photographer was injured days before our wedding and was unable to attend. Yolanda gracefully stepped in. She did a fantastic job! Keeping everyone happy while getting photos (of our four kids and dog) is not an easy task, yet Yolanda did it seamlessly. She was efficient and still got so many beautiful photos. I knew there were a few photos that I really wanted done and I knew Yolanda would have a few suggestions as well. Because I had worked with her in the past I knew her quality of work but she still delivered over and above my highest expectations. I would and will definitely work with Yolanda again and am so grateful that she was able to photograph our wedding. We have fabulous photos that truly captured our day that we can treasure.
