LuminEssence - The Essence of Light

I am Yolande.

 A lifestyle and portrait photographer and visual artist, based in Abu Dhabi, UAE and I am here to tell you and your family's story.  When taking pictures, I am constantly reminded to celebrate life, the beauty around us and the One who created it. 

Capturing the in-between moments, my work reflects my desire to capture raw, romantic and joy-infused moments and the authentic, real beauty of  life -the wild, the messy, the loving and laughing and the captivating interaction between people. I strive  to create photographs that not only capture a moment, but also captures a feeling and the LuminEssence within you. I want you to see the beautiful, unique human being that you are, so that this brings you encouragement and confidence to 
BE YOU and DO YOU. 

Photography has been a long-time part of my life. I previously worked as a HR Professional in the Airline Industry and having being privileged to travel the world, my camera has been my ever loyal travel companion. 

I do what I love, to capture what you love and telling the stories of what and who you love. Through photographs, I weave together a narrative of what is most true and treasured and am continually inspired by the wonderful people I photograph and their lives journeys.

Joyful MEMORIES... HAPPINESS... that's what I create. COME. For we have stories to tell.
Are you ready to let your story be told?
