Collaborating with Yeya is a pleasure! From her creative concepts, the environment she creates for her clients, and her eye for photography, not only is she fun to work with, but the results of her art are amazing. Yeya is unique in her talent and professionalism!
-Isabel Arraiza, Actress (Driven, The Little Things, Outer Range)
Working with Yeya has been one of the easiest and most organic processes I have experienced. When I say "easy" I don't mean that what she does is simple, but rather that her sensitivity, vision, and closeness make projects flow with agility and coherence. Yeya added a lot of value to the vision and expectations I had about portraits. She asked questions, contributed ideas, and achieved a very special connection between the talent and the camera in record time.
-María Coral Otero, Actress
I felt safe and in good care since the very first meeting with Yeya. We had a few talks about what I needed from the photo session, and she gave me a bunch of creative references and ideas she had to get the best out of the session, also fitting my style and needs.
I'm usually an introvert, but I knew I needed to revamp my business photos. Yeya made me feel comfortable and helped me with the poses, giving me more confidence in what I was doing. In the end, I LOVED my portrait photos and the turn-around after the photo session was quick and easy.
Yeya is 100% recommended.
- Ricardo J. Santana, Cinematographer & Entrepreneur
Yeya always manages to portray the essence of those who pose for her lens, she has a very clear vision of her ideas and manages to capture them in the most beautiful and real way, more than a photo session, it is an experience and a gift that is portrayed forever.
-Larissa Dones, Actress & Content Creator
Working with Yeya was a real pleasure. From the first meeting, where we shared ideas, to the day of the photo shoot, I felt heard and understood. Not only is she amazing and creative as a photographer, but she made sure that I felt comfortable and safe during every second. She brought speakers with music and created a relaxed and friendly atmosphere that resulted in some spectacular photos of which I am very proud. Thank you Yeya!
-Camila Moreno, Actress (The CW’s Naomi)
Yeya has been my portrait photographer since I was born and always will be! I've done photoshoots with many other photographers over the last couple of years, but the security I feel when working with her is unmatched. Setting aside our relationship as sisters, I just KNOW she fully understands my vision, my angles, and the concepts I want to represent.
She has one of the most versatile imaginations I've had the pleasure of seeing in action. Even if we just improvise a few last-minute headshots, she manages to find the most unassuming of spaces and turn it into a beautiful statement background without distracting from the purpose of the picture! Outside of modeling, I've also worked as a makeup artist in many of her video + photography productions. I firmly believe anyone who's worked with her can testify that it's an awesome time during which everyone working feels taken care of. Plus she's incredibly punctual, forward-thinking, calm, and diligent.

Female empowerment at its best. From the beginning I felt comfortable and confident that we were going to make art. Yeya is spectacular. I loved the space, the attention, and the treatment from Yeya. I felt safe, and healed many uncomfortable photo shoot experiences with other photographers. If you want to do a quality photo shoot with a true professional and an excellent human being, Yeya is undeniably the right option for you.
-Génesis Taveras, Actress & Filmmaker (Netflix’s Nicky Jam: El Ganador)
I have always enjoyed working with Yeya. I have done several photo shoots with her. I love how she guides me when it comes to posing and achieving a specific attitude for a picture. She also helps me feel confident and comfortable. I totally recommend her photography services.
-Gilmarie Villanueva, Singer, Songwriter and Entrepreneur
Working with Yeya has been one of the most amazing experiences I have ever had in my 13 year career. She is very professional and has a very clear vision on what she wants to portray with her photography. A passionate-friendly woman with an empowered soul. I had so much fun with her from the very beginning; from finding the right outfit to having a blast on the day of the photo shoot. Yeya made me feel like a King. She will bring out the best of you! Thank you, queen, for the unforgettable moment!
-Kedward Aviles, Singer and Songwriter
Working with Yeya was one of the most professional yet relaxing shoots I have ever done. Everything felt seamless and it is clear that Yeya has great perspective behind the lens and comes with a plan ready to make the most of the time spent! Really enjoyed the experience and meeting Yeya and her team.
-Billy Dean Thomas, Hip-Hop Artist & Producer
Yeya is an incredibly talented photographer. Had my first portrait picture (best decision ever). From vision to action she was amazing! She is very nice to work with. As someone who is not comfortable in front of the camera, she gave me great direction and made me feel comfortable. She helped me think through and plan all the details to ensure it went as smoothly as possible.
She took my vision and went above and beyond my expectations and the pictures turned out amazing! Highly recommend it!
Bibiana Sarriera, Legal Counsel
With Yeya, you feel camera ready from the start. She creates a space for a joyous, fully collaborative process where you feel seen and secure. From going through conceptual ideas, to deciding on looks, to standing in front of the lens, she makes you feel comfortable and at ease. Her ability to capture you in the most honest, powerful and beautiful way is unmatched. Even going through what she had captured so far in the moment was incredible - what an eye! I can’t thank her enough for the best photoshoot experience!
María Gabriela González, Actress
I've never had an actual scheduled photoshoot by a professional and I wasn't sure on how or what to be in front of the camera? You come in for a photo shoot with all those questions in your head- how to pose? Who to be? What to do? Hands? What hands? That headache disappeared with two things- Jessica and her art. Honestly, I didn't even realize when the shoot started- it just flowed.
Of course, the end result of the pictures are amazing and unique portraits, however in this case the true value is in the experience. Overall, Jessica made this session a hangout, I felt comfortable in my skin and the whole process was seamless. After the photoshoot, she sat down with me and really put thought into helping me select the final set of pictures (which I highly appreciated). The shots I received at the end were a combination of many things- most importantly, a really pleasant experience that lasted for more than the duration of the photoshoot! Muchas gracias Yeya!
- Baazil Agaskar, Distributed Energy Systems Engineer
I contacted Yeya because I needed new professional portraits for my LinkedIn account, however upon completing the photoshoot I am definitely updating all of my social media photos because I absolutely loved all the pictures!
In general, I am not one to take selfies so I knew I wanted candid shots, but Yeya definitely helped me in the process by making me feel confident and loose; not only did she help with the styling, but she also created a really fun environment with music and useful feedback. In addition, she was really fast with the editing and was incredibly responsible with having the pictures ready by the due date she had provided.
Overall, it was a wonderful experience and I encourage anyone looking for unique photographs to set up a meeting, you will not be disappointed!
