Get to know Me
Hey! This is Yogananda
Why I do this
photography started as a way to hold onto things. people change, days end, kids get bigger overnight — and i hated how fast all of it moved. so i picked up a camera. now i get to freeze the in-between moments, the ones that aren't posed but somehow say the most. when you look back at these photos in ten years, i want you to feel that day again, not just see it.
How I work
honestly, the best photos happen when no one's trying. so that's what i build my whole process around. before the shoot, i learn what you care about. during it, i stay light on my feet and let the day unfold — i'm watching for the in-between moments more than the posed ones. after, i sit with every image and edit by hand until it feels right. you stay in the moment. i'll make sure none of it gets lost.
Fun Facts about me
a little about me — engineer by day, photographer the rest of the time. left brain, right brain, both fully committed. the engineering side just makes me obsessive about details, so every frame in your gallery gets that care. michigan-based but happy to travel for the right shoot. and you won't catch me saying "say cheese" — i'd rather catch you mid-laugh than mid-pose.
