I am Yulissa Arriaga

I capture moments with intention, crafting images that feel natural, emotional, and timeless.

Based in East Texas, I grew up surrounded by open land, animals, and a slower pace of life. I still live on a ranch with horses, cows, and chickens which is where my love for the outdoors and quiet, meaningful moments truly began.

Outside of photography, you’ll usually find me on a walk with my poodle, Bambi, working out, or stopping for a coffee (especially Crema Coffee Co.). I’m the youngest of four, which I think shaped both my perspective and the way I connect with people.

I graduated from UT Tyler with a Bachelor’s in Business Administration with a focus in Marketing and currently work in digital marketing, managing paid ads and social media. That background influences how I run my business , creating not just beautiful images, but a thoughtful, seamless experience from start to finish.

I’m drawn to the in-between moments, the ones that aren’t forced, but felt. The result is imagery that reflects not just how it looked, but how it truly was.
