FOUNDER / OWNER/ LEAD ARTIST / PHOTOGRAPHER
Sophie ya
I have always had love towards colour, beauty, and people, and that love has led me to my journey into photography, makeup artistry, and hairstyling.
Working with different people, bringing out the best version of themselves through my makeup and hairstyling work, not only provides me the opportunity to do what I am passionate about, but it also makes me feel fulfilled and meaningful when I hear the “wow”; when I get to see the emotions with tears of happiness, and the big smiles on my clients’ face after the work is completed. Photography has taken me further to get to know my clients at a deeper level. I love being there and capturing all emotions, learning about the stories behind every couple and family.
Common things you will hear about me from our clients “Sophie is professional and pleasant to work with, she has eyes for beauty, she brings out the best in the people she works with, she is a perfectionist and detail oriented, she goes above and beyond to deliver high quality work… … “As a YA Artistry client, you will be well taken care of, feel special and beautiful. I’m looking forward to working with you in the near future.
Jason
The husband, second shooter, mental support :)
When we decided to launch our photography service, there was no one else that I would trust more than my husband. He is so reliable, punctual, detail oriented, patient, and with his electrical engineering manager background, and love for electronics, I knew he would be a great asset to the team. We just get each other often without speaking to each other.
Jason is also very driven and passionate towards his jobs, when he works, he strives to go above and beyond.
He provides different perspectives to our photography service and business, and is an very valuable asset to the team.
