My journey as a photographer started while I was traveling the world

I fell in love with capturing people, places and cultures as they unfolded in front of me. I used my images as a way to tell a story of the places I visited and how I wanted to remember them. They were unique, raw, authentic and beautiful in their own way. It was during this time when my skills as a photographer started to get noticed by my friends and family.

some of my photos during these trips even won
international travel awards

Then someone asked “could you
take my family photos?”

& the rest was history!

Whether I am capturing world travels, chaotic families or epic love stories, I want each image to convey a story that is both genuine and authentic. The kind of imagery that give you a rush full of memories and emotions every time you look at them.

I strive to document the genuine connections that define our human experience. The tight hugs, teary eyes, belly laughs and epic dance parties - these are the moments that make life remarkable.

My Life in a nutshell

My last name is pronounced yen-a-key-no. Yes, I am italian. I have a huge family, espresso obsession and loud voice to prove it.⁣⁣
In December 2020, I left my corporate 9-5 job to pursue my childhood dream of being a photographer. Hands down the best decision of my life (even though my Nonna didn’t think so LOL)
Photos of my golden retriever, Jules, take up 99% of my iPhone storage
I will NEVER turn down a sandwich
I prefer sketchy (and delicious) street food over 5-star restaurants, tent-camping over fancy hotels, and walking over driving
The top of my Jeep is off every day in the summer, spring, and fall - even when it rains (See for yourself)
I am obsessed with new places and always planning my next big adventure
I hate coconut with a passion. The taste, smell, texture - yuck!
My ideal vacation entails hiking for a ridiculously long period of time and wearing nothing but athletic attire
