Laurette & Yissegnon
Yes, that’s us. We are life and business partners with different backgrounds but the same passion for aesthetic beauty and the visual arts.
“My goal is to capture meaningful portraits during the day, in the most candid way. My specialty? Making people look and feel fabulous in their photos.”

Her photography leans towards pictorial composition, the result of more than five years in the industry, and her expertise in styling and posing has made her a sought-after artist.

Two photographers, one seamless experience
Documentary at heart
We work quietly and move with the day rather than interrupting it. Most of what you’ll see was happening whether we were there or not.
Editorial when it counts
A short, gently directed window for couple portraits and family groups — enough to give you images with real polish, never enough to cost you your day.
Skin rendered properly
Years of dedicated study in lighting and retouching every skin tone, with particular expertise in photographing Black skin beautifully.
