Yanira has worked with some celebrities


I've worked with celebrities, creatives, and families alike, but what matters most to me is making you feel seen and confident in front of the camera.


Yanira has worked with Holly Combs from Pretty Little Liars and The Hit TV 90's show Charmed. Yanira has also worked with Jessica Collins from The Apple TV show Acapulco and The Young and the Restless.
