The creative eye behind iya images

My first name is Iya, just three letters and I’ve actually grown to love how simple it is.

My dad was a photographer and he captured so many images of me when I was younger.

Iya Images is a symbol of love for myself and the legacy he left behind.

through my lens, I hope to create that same feeling for others:

images rooted in connection and emotion

real moments that deserve to be held onto.

I am a photographer based in Las Vegas, giving myself

permission to step out of my comfort zone and into the

purpose that’s been waiting for me. I believe every little

moment carries a story and I love capturing moments

in the most natural, effortless way.

I’ve been photographing love since I was eighteen

(I'm now 23), capturing romantic memories for couples

from all over the world while working with Cashman Photo.

Night after night, I watched strangers look into each other’s

eyes under the warm, romantic dim lights and I learned

quickly that what makes a photo beautiful is the presence.

Photography became my way of witnessing presence.

My dad was also a photographer and I still feel closest to him

when I’m behind the camera. Sharing this art with him, even

from a distance anchors me. I understand now why he fell in love

with documenting life because it’s a way of holding time still,

even when everything else keeps moving. My photography is my

rebellion against forgetting and every photograph is a reminder

to slow down and FEEL.

Outside of photography, I’m a girl with a full heart and

a long bucket list. I love dancing and singing and I dream of

joining a dance studio and performing with other dancers

someday. Health is wealth so I'm very passionate about

fitness and maintaining healthy habits.. I’m always chasing

adventure. My travel dreams stretch from Hawaii to Paris,

Bali to Ibiza, NYC to Belize, with my camera packed and

ready for the next story. But no matter where I go,

my purpose stays the same: to capture love the way it

actually feels: real, intimate, emotional, and full of life.
