Hello, I'm Jasmine.
I'm a passionate photographer currently residing in Rhode Island.
As a lifestyle and documentary photographer, I aim to capture the essence of the world around us through my lens. From sweeping landscapes to intimate portraits, I strive to create images that evoke emotion and tell a story. Growing up, I was always drawn to the visual arts, but it wasn't until I picked up a camera that I found my true passion. I was immediately captivated by the power of photography to freeze a moment in time, to capture a feeling, and to transport the viewer to a different place.
For me, photography is a constant source of inspiration and a never-ending journey of discovery. I feel truly fortunate to be able to share my passion with others, and I hope that my images will inspire others to see the world in a new light.

CAPTURING THE BUZZ AND ALL THE THINGS IN BETWEEN PEOPLE AND LIFE.
Did you know that I used to be absolutely terrified of bees? 🐝 Yep, these little buzzing wonders would send me running for cover. However, picking up a camera changed all that.
I decided to face my fear head-on, armed with nothing but my camera. Now, bees are not just tiny creatures with stingers; they're some of my favorite subjects to photograph! I've learned to appreciate the technical challenge of capturing the unique beauty they bring to every frame.
So, if you ever spot me in a field, crouched down with my camera, don't be surprised if you see a bee or two in my viewfinder. It's not just photography; it's also my bee-utiful journey of conquering fears, one click at a time.
JASMINE'S FAVOURITES
Time of day
What captivates me is the ever-changing, ephemeral nature of a sunset. Each one is unique, offering a new symphony of colors to admire. It's a reminder that beauty exists in transience, urging us to pause, appreciate, and find solace in life's fleeting moments.

Quote
"You will continue to suffer if you have an emotional reaction to everything that is said to you. True power is sitting back and observing things with logic. True power is restraint. If words control you that means everyone else can control you. Breathe and allow things to pass."
This quote resonates with me because it captures the essence of emotional intelligence and self-mastery. It encapsulates a philosophy of self-empowerment, resilience, and the wisdom of not letting external influences have unwarranted power over your emotional state. What can you control?
Photography Location
The Salt Flats in Utah. Absolutely Gorgeous.
Hobby
One of my greatest passions (other than photography) is the exhilarating world of horseback riding. The blend of grace, skill, and connection with these majestic animals is unparalleled. Whether it's the wind in my hair during a canter or the quiet bond formed while grooming, the equestrian world is where I find true joy and tranquility. The synergy of rider and horse, mastering jumps or simply trotting along a trail, is a beautiful dance that resonates with my soul.
Movie
In the enchanting realm of cinematic wonders, "Howl's Moving Castle" reigns as my ultimate favorite. Crafted by the brilliant Hayao Miyazaki, this animated masterpiece weaves a magical tale of love, transformation, and the extraordinary. The whimsical characters, the vivid and ever-shifting landscapes, and the profound messages hidden within captivate me anew with each viewing. It's a mesmerizing journey through a fantastical world, leaving me spellbound and longing for the kind of magic that Miyazaki's films always bring to life.
Music Genre
Electronic music is my go-to genre, and here's why: It's a sonic adventure that sweeps me away on a mesmerizing journey with every beat and synth note. The ability of electronic music to create intricate soundscapes and hypnotic rhythms allows me to escape the ordinary and get completely lost in the music.
Love story
One of the love stories that has always resonated deeply is the captivating myth about the nature of love. According to this myth, humans were once whole beings but were separated into halves by the gods as punishment for their arrogance. Since then, humans have been on a quest to find their missing half, their soulmate, in order to feel complete once more. It's about finding that person who complements us, understands us deeply, and brings out the best in us. It's a journey towards a sense of unity and fulfillment, where two individuals come together to create something greater than the sum of their parts.
Guilty Pleasure
Delving into the miniature world through my lens is my guilty pleasure. When I aim my camera at a tiny, delicate flower or a minuscule insect, a rush of excitement and awe surges through me. It's a bit like being a secret agent exploring an uncharted realm. Each snap is a journey into the enchanting universe of the small, where even a dewdrop on a leaf holds a world of wonder.
