Meet Yinka:
Howdy, howdy! I'm Yinka Olabode, a passionate Nigerian-American Portrait Photographer based in the vibrant cities of San Antonio and *Dallas, Texas. My work is defined by the genuine connection I build with my clients, allowing us to craft curated concepts that radiate both beauty and emotion.
My journey into photography began in 2017 with a photojournalism class in high school—an experience that sparked my creative passion. Now, at 23, I’m still fueled by that same initial spark. Photography for me is an art of patience and empathy, balancing the perfect angles, lighting, and focus. I’m committed to delivering images that go beyond satisfaction to leave my clients genuinely thrilled. Over the years, I’ve been privileged to capture the unique stories of diverse faces, each one inspiring me with their own unique vulnerability and beauty.
Beyond the Lens:
Outside of photography, I'm a student and a health care provider, both roles that have enriched my approach to photography. Off the clock, you’ll find me playing volleyball, experimenting in the kitchen, treasure hunting in thrift stores, or chillaxing with my kitty, Killua. My love for visual and traditional arts predates my photography journey, keeping my creativity refreshed.
What to expect from me:
Each session with me is a unique experience. Beyond providing exceptional photography services, I aim to create memorable moments. Anticipate laughter, posing guidance, and a hype session to your favorite songs. It's my responsibility to plan your perfect photoshoot and ensure a seamless experience. Unsure about locations or wardrobe choices? I'm here to help!
Booking an experience with me is straightforward. Visit the "Investment" page to access my rates and contact form. Once you find the package that best suits your needs (or have any questions) you can reach out to me through Email, Text, or DMs to book. Depending on location, I'll bring my speaker, ready for you to connect your playlist or my own. To secure your desired date, it's recommended to book at least two weeks in advance, with a 40% deposit. The remaining balance (60%) is due on the day of the shoot before we depart ways. What are you waiting for? Check out examples of my range of work under ‘Shoots’ or ‘Grads’ and let's capture your story together!
