Making pancakes together. Sailing somewhere you love. Spending time with the people closest to you. Your life is full of moments worth photographing, without waiting for a milestone.
PHOTObiography is a photographic record of your life, built through personal photoshoots. Your first session captures life today. An annual session adds the next chapter, preserving what changes and what stays close to your heart.
See a story over timeExplore mornings at home, favorite activities, and journeys shared. Every session is planned around the person being photographed, so yours can look entirely different.
Children grow. Relationships deepen. New passions emerge. Photographing your life each year lets you see those changes and stay connected to what matters.
Make it an annual tradition: set aside time for what you love, photograph a new chapter, and keep those memories close.
A session built around your life today.
An annual session captures the people, passions, places, and experiences that shape your life.
Gather your photographs into a coffee-table book that grows with each new chapter.
Your photographs become a beautifully designed coffee-table book to enjoy, share, and return to. Each year’s photoshoot adds another chapter to the story of your life.
Every photoshoot package includes a selection of fully edited, high-resolution digital photographs. Selected packages also include a PHOTObiography book.
Tell me what matters to you. Together, we choose a setting and activity, from a familiar routine to an experience you have always wanted to remember.
I photograph you in natural light, with guidance when you need it and room to be yourself. Wear something you love, let children choose their outfits, and enjoy the experience.
Receive your selection of fully edited, high-resolution digital photographs. If your package includes a book, your photographs also become a chapter you can hold in your hands.
I also accompany clients on their travels. Your session can be one afternoon in a city you love, a day or two of your holiday, or several days documenting a journey with family and friends.
The shared meals, activities, quiet moments, and places you discover become part of your PHOTObiography, with the option of a book that brings the experience together.
Plan your travel chapterYou do not need a particular hobby or a special occasion. A favorite ritual, a familiar place, or time with someone you love can be the starting point.
Your morning coffee can be photographed in your pajamas or in a gala dress, if that feels like you. I encourage everyone to wear something they truly love and let children choose their own outfits.
What makes life meaningful to you? Who would you spend it with, what would you do, and what would you wear? That is where your PHOTObiography begins.

Discuss your business story
I’m Pipe Yanguas, a Colombian photographer and visual artist based in Miami. Born in Cali, I grew up surrounded by creativity and nature, and began photographing at fourteen. I later moved to Milan to study photography at the Istituto Europeo di Design. My work has since taken me into the lives of individuals and families around the world.
Travel, different cultures, and the people I have met have shaped how I see life. What draws me most is what makes each person’s world their own: the relationships, familiar places, small rituals, and things they love. I believe those moments deserve to be remembered today, without waiting for a milestone.
Before each photoshoot, we talk about what matters to you and plan an experience around it. I work with natural light and look for genuine moments of connection, expression, and joy. My aim is to create photographs that feel like you.
That is the heart of PHOTObiography. I have photographed some families for more than a decade, returning year after year as children grow and life changes. Their photographs become new chapters in coffee-table books that grow with them. Connection also runs through my art practice, Dots and Lines World, which you can explore at pipeyanguas.com.
