Yvonne has been looking at the world through a camera lens from the time she was a little girl. Her family often traveled to Europe, giving her rich opportunities for testing her succession of cameras while teaching herself to observe and capture moments, lighting, and moods through her lens. She knew from the very beginning that photography was in her blood.

Later, Yvonne worked in sales and marketing in the wine industry, which furthered her world travels. She would photograph wineries, vineyards, and tasting rooms both for pleasure and to use in marketing materials. During this time, Yvonne also took up sailboat racing. Combining her passions for sailing and photography, she began shooting regattas from press boats. 

So, it was a natural progression for Yvonne to migrate to real estate photography when she and her husband started investing in properties. She joined Portraits of Home in early 2020. 

Separately, Yvonne earned a certification in staging – again, making use of her creative eye – so she can collaborate with her clients to get the best possible images to represent their property in their listings. Having trained her focus from her earliest years, Yvonne can craft images that take advantage of even the smallest detail that others might miss. 

Yvonne spends her free time with her family and pets. She volunteers her time training dogs for veterans with PTSD. She and her husband continue to invest in real estate, and they love to spend their free time outdoors, whether that’s cross-country skiing, tennis, or working out.
