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, emotion, and real moments that deserve to be held onto. I am an authentic, creative, and passionate couples 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 couples in the most natural, effortless way. I’ve been photographing love since I was eighteen (I'm now 22), 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 too 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, a whole food diet, 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.
I photograph couples who crave experiences over perfection and want to feel exactly how they felt in the moment, when they look back at their images. If that sounds like you, then I’d be honored to tell your love story!
