Yrsina was a delight to work with. She went out of her way to make our wedding day shine to its brightest potential. The memories she captured bring joy to our hearts and allow us to share our special moment with our loved ones who couldn't be there. Pro tip, skip the limo and rent a Ferrari for your wedding day. When else can you do something like that? It was a dream working with Yrsina. My wife and I are so happy she was part of our big day. read more

If I could give more than 5 stars, I would! We recently did a sunset family shoot with YC Photography in San Diego, and it was absolute magic from start to finish. Yrsina has a gift--not only did they manage to get our kids to actually pose and behave (a miracle in itself), but they made the whole experience so fun and relaxed that it felt more like an adventure than a photo session. She found the most incredible spot for our shoot--total hidden gem, with the kind of golden-hour light that dreams are made of. And the photos? I honestly can't even put into words how much we love them. These are by far the best pictures we've ever had taken of our family--like, we gasped when we saw them. If you're looking for a photographer who's talented, kind, professional, and just gets it--YC Photography is the one. Book now. Frame everything. Thank me later. read more

Definitely made the time enjoyable ADA friendly and knowledgeable(helped me get into position and stay safe! While looking good) Con: She's not my daily photographer! Yrsina was not only a pleasure working with, but a true sweetheart! Met in Balboa Park for some family Christmas photos and a few others. Got some of the kid and such while enjoying our time and smiling! Yrsina was very active in getting us great shots so be ready to move around a bit. She did not mind us bringing some of our own items to get shots with to make it more personalized! Waiting to get the proofs back to see how all the editing and fine tuning came out!

I have happily sung the praises of Yrsina at YC Photography for over a decade to anyone needing a professional photographer for their special moments. I knew my friends and family would immediately be comfortable with her and knew they could trust her with the most important pictures of their lives so they had picture perfect memories. I watched her in action at a close friend's wedding on Shelter Island and then she took amazing pictures of my product I sell on Amazon. I was so thrilled to recommend her to my two sons for engagement pictures and a few years later newborn pictures of my treasured grandbabies. She is especially talented with newborns and some call her the "Baby Whisper" as she somehow gets the most fabulous pictures of them sleeping in baskets and the like delighting all who view them. I can't say enough about Yrsina as she is a fabulous person. read more

YC is everything you would want in a photographer! Considering her attention to detail, quality, and variety of photos provided - her prices are fantastic. She met us at our wedding location days beforehand to make sure she captured our special moment how we envisioned. She's very responsive to our texts, phone calls, and emails no matter the time of day. My wife and I were nervous about finding the right photographer within our budget and one who's willing to go above and beyond for us.. in fact we considered not having a photographer because such, but YC alleviated our concerns and worked within our budget. I love her products and her personality. She was such a delight to have around on our wedding day, capturing every precious moment. Look no further, YC Photography will exceed your expectations :) read more

Yrsina was recommended to me by multiple friends. I has planned to do a family session in 2018 & 2019 but each year we lost someone dear to us in the fall and we never ended up doing them. Then in 2020, Yrsina did a giveaway for essential workers dealing with the Covid Pandemic. I was truly grateful to win such an amazing gift. Our pictures are beautiful and my three boys had so much fun. They actually asked me if we could book a beach shoot for our family, Seriously! Kids excited to get dressed up and have their pictures taken? She really is a miracle worker. She had all of my boys relaxed and laughing (even my son who has issues with anxiety and is very shy was relaxed and natural). She loves to laugh, use props and get the kids to just be themselves. I Can't wait to do our next family photo session. read more

Yrsina is wonderful, I fell like there is not enough space to write my review. She did my sister's wedding (I was in the wedding party) and she captured every moment beautifully. She got along with both families and directed everyone efficiently. A few years later my sister had her first child and she did newborn photos (April 2021). Yrsina was so patient, even changing a poopie diaper, and comforting the baby. Her tact was gentle and completely professional. I was amazed by her ability to calm him and bring out a smile. Now, I am using her for professional headshots. My cousins use Yrsina for all their family photoshoots (and they do a lot). Ultimately I can say Yrsina is highly professional, very knowledgeable, provides great direction, and captures your best moments. I am looking forward to using her for my own important events. read more

If your looking for someone who is passionate and hard working, Yrsina is your gal. Due to the weather we had to switch our primary location last min. She was so willing to help us with other locations she sent us a video of her favorite spots. We ended up shooting at Presidio place and the photos came out beautiful. Once the weather cleared up we did a second shoot at my first place I picked in La Jolla. I couldn't be happier. Thank you Yrsina for our gorgeous maternity pictures. read more

We had a great experience! I was looking for a newborn shoot (my daughter was 5-6 weeks old) and Yrsina was able to fit us in pretty quickly. She did the shoot at our place in Ramona (small charge for her driving out). She set up a few scenes in our master bedroom while our daughter was calming down. Yrsina was more than patient while our daughter got her fussing out. The final photos were edited and put on CDs and her website in a very timely manner. I would definitely recommend! read more

Yrsina was our wedding photographer in 2019. Two years later, we welcomed our baby boy and she took our newborn pictures. She was so patient and it felt it was a family member interacting with us and our baby. I can't imagine anyone else capturing these special moments better than Yrsina. read more

I don't know where to start here... but I'll try! We met Yrsina two years ago at my cousin's wedding... I thought she was bossy at first, as I saw her directing everyone and taking over .... Now I know... She is a perfectionist with the kindest, most humble and loving attitude. She has bonded with my small children and even my dog (those of you with small children know how hard it is to make them smile and want them to participate throughout an entire session) ... Our pictures always come out beautiful! She goes above and beyond to make sure she captures those moments that will one day become cherished memories. Not only is she an amazing photographer, she's one of those people who you meet in life once in a while and you ask yourself, "Are they real? Could they really be this excited about their jobs and about life in general?" Well, she is!!! Her positive spirit, optimism, and love of life is contagious! I feel like I have known her for years. I hope she never moves because she is stuck with us for life. Picture sessions with Yrsina are always so much fun, and we deeply enjoy our time with her! She's just genuine- amazing and beyond talented with a huge heart!!! Oh by the way, she doesn't count photos or minutes as others do.... she will provide you with an ample variety of poses and pictures you will just love .... best prices ever on top of everything!!! read more

Yrsina is so awesome. We had the best time doing the photo shoot that I won during Covid lockdown. She had a little raffle in which she placed names of essential workers during the shutdown . I put my husbands name in and I was surprised that his name was picked for a free 30minute session. My husband and I did not know what to expect. We met Yrsina in Presido park. We had so much fun taking the photos . We laughed ,kissed each other so much, and just loved each other for that 30 minutes we escaped the cares and worries of life and it was such a refreshing fun time . We needed to have this experience with Yrsina capturing the love that we have for each other so perfectly. The photographs are so great, I am so in love with the final products. We cherish them and thank you so much for giving us a treasure we can remember from this phase of our marriage forever. read more
