It takes two seconds to not only feel comfortable around Yvette, but to fall in love with her energy. With a contagious excitement towards any project , she is able to make you forget that she has a lens pointed at you. Something we feel is important, as we work to photograph your most memorable day. Mix her enthusiasm with a patience acquired while shooting sports and event photography and she becomes highly capable in helping you capture those moments in your life that seem to be so fleeting (the exciting stuff always seems to be). Whether she is shooting a wedding or simply helping you with new portraits, Yvette is sure to bring a photojournalistic approach that will reveal the moments that almost went completely un-noticed. Besides bringing a tender touch to Independent Photography, she brings a romantic nature, and an eagerness to explore fresh ideas with her photography. Since cliché is not in her vocabulary, even her love for all things classic and vintage, does not keep her from revisiting something from a new angle. It is this same search for the new that not only aids her in her development as a photographer, but makes her a crucial part of our company.

Jason's shooting style is best seen through his street photography. Fond of walking through downtown without a specific assignment, he attempts to capture life as it is, in its most beautiful state. He gears towards the candid, feeling that it portrays a more accurate sense of our world. This contrary to the training he received at USC cinema school, where he was taught to direct the action. Over the years he has been able to translate these two approaches while focusing more on portraiture and professional wedding photography. He still watches for the quiet moments that often go on to be the most memorable, but he also always ready to jump in and help with wedding formals as well. Jason is in love with all things that have to do with art, so he is always more than eager to help create it with new people. He feels that there so many wonderful moments that pass through our day, ready to be captured at just the right time.
