Yana was amazing to work with despite a lot of requirements on our end. My toddler is very sensitive/reactive and Yana dealt with that amazingly. She was flexible, kind, and based on the photos, extremely talented. We are so happy we went with her, and I will cherish these photos for the rest of my life!

About The Y.K. Studio
I'm Yana — a documentary and fine-art photographer based on the coast in Pacifica, capturing authentic engagement, elopement, family, and maternity sessions across the San Francisco Bay Area. I've been photographing couples and families across the world for over 10 years, with 100+ sessions behind the lens. My background is in fine-art and documentary photography — formal training that shows up in how I see light, composition, and the honest, unposed moments that create the real magic. Quick facts about me: I’m so deep into the B&W world I actually have a dedicated monochrome camera. I grew up in one of the coldest places in the world. Any guesses? I jump out of perfectly functioning airplanes for fun. My mom recently recruited me into her crocheting cult, so I’m currently making a beanie. My husband is my best friend and I love him more than anything, even more than our sweetest cat. I’ve rewatched Friends approximately 500 gazillion times. I’m desperately afraid of snakes. If we see one during our session, you’re on your own (I’ll probably be halfway up a tree). Making pictures makes me real happy:)
Reviews
Yana was really helpful and supportive
Yana was such a great partner in planning and shooting my proposal. Couldn’t be happier that she was the one that I worked with. I would recommend Yana to pretty much anyone!
Very helpful and took beautiful pictures of our engagement! Very quick turn around on pictures being posted. Very happy with how they turned out!
Yana made our engagement day even more special with her brilliant work. The communication and guidance she provided was such a help to me. And the end result were pictures so great we couldnt have imagined. Im really appreciative of all she did.
