Welcome to Yuriyanna Photo!
Yuriyanna is an Okinawan American photographer who loves to capture life’s precious and fun moments. Her love for photography stems from her desire to create lasting memories and freeze them in time. She believes that every moment is unique and should be captured with care and attention to detail.
As a Christian woman, she is devoted to Jesus, her husband and 3 children, and ministry. Her faith is at the core of everything she does, and it inspires the way she views photography, which goes beyond just taking pictures, she sees it as a ministry and a way to serve others.
One of the ways Yuriyanna uses her photography as a ministry is by partnering with Choices Women’s Clinic to bless mothers with maternity shots and mom and baby photos. She believes that every new life is a gift from God, and she loves to capture the beauty and wonder of new motherhood through her photography and being a part of making a positive impact on her community. In addition to her work with Choices Women’s Clinic, Yuriyanna is also a dedicated partner of Urban Surf Ministries, a non-profit organization that uses surfing as a means to spread the love of Jesus to inner-city youth. Through her photography, she captures the joy and freedom that these kids experience as they ride the waves and grow in their faith. Yuriyanna’s heart for ministry is evident in every photo she takes, and her work is a powerful testament to the love and grace of God.
Yuriyanna has also gone on several mission trips where she has used her photography to tell powerful stories and document the work of God in different parts of the world. By the grace of God her work has been published, and her God given talent has been recognized by many. She is a dedicated and passionate photographer who loves what she does and is always looking for new ways to grow and improve. Her work is known for its authenticity, warmth, intimacy, and candidness. Whether it’s a corporate photo shoot, wedding, a family portrait, lifestyle shoot, mission trip, or anything else you can dream up, Yuriyanna has a unique way of capturing the spirit and emotions of her subjects, creating images that will last a lifetime.
