Meet the Photographer
Hello, I'm Yvonne Athanasaw.
I am the photographer behind Photography by Yvonne, proudly serving Fredericksburg, Northern Virginia, Central Virginia, and the surrounding communities.
Photography has always been about more than creating beautiful images. It's about preserving the moments that become part of your family's legacy. From our first conversation through the final delivery of your carefully curated gallery, every detail is guided with professionalism, care, and a genuine commitment to providing an exceptional experience.
My greatest joy is creating photographs that don't simply capture how life looked—but how it felt.
Because your moments deserve more than a photograph.
They deserve to become timeless.
What I Photograph
Photography for every chapter of your story.
Portraits
Every portrait tells a personal story. Whether you’re celebrating yourself, your relationship, or a milestone, I’ll help you feel at ease and create timeless images that reflect who you are
Individual
Your portrait session is a celebration of you. Together, we'll create elegant, authentic images that showcase your personality, confidence, and individuality.
Couples
Whether you're celebrating an engagement, anniversary, or simply this chapter of your journey together, your session is designed to capture the genuine connection, affection, and quiet moments that make your relationship uniquely yours.
High School Seniors
Your senior year is a once-in-a-lifetime milestone. Together, we'll create a personalized session that celebrates your accomplishments, reflects your personality, and captures the excitement of what's ahead with timeless portraits you'll treasure for years to come.
Families
The most cherished family photographs come from real moments—shared laughter, warm embraces, and genuine connection. My family sessions are relaxed and engaging, allowing children to explore, play, and even become my little assistants. The result is a collection of heartfelt images that beautifully tell your family's story.
Events
Life's most memorable celebrations deserve to be preserved with care and artistry. From graduations and anniversaries to corporate events, sporting competitions, veterans' celebrations, birthdays, holiday gatherings, antique car shows, and other special occasions, I'll document the moments both grand and intimate, allowing you to relive them for years to come.
