What is an Ayre?
An 'ayre' is the quiet melody carried by nature, the unseen harmony that lingers long after the moment fades.

My sessions aren’t performances.
We hang out, we laugh, and somewhere in there, I capture the version of you people already recognize.
Sessions are intentionally structured so everything stays easy, focused, and comfortable.
Sessions include one primary look and are scheduled for up to one hour. Additional time, looks, or images are available if needed.

You’re not hiring a camera.
You’re hiring a person.
Most people don’t love being photographed.
That’s why my sessions are built around one simple goal:
Helping you relax enough that your real self shows up.
No stiff posing.
No pressure.
Just natural moments — the kind you actually recognize
when you look at your final photos.
Portraits that feel like you.
Natural. Relaxed. Comfortably real.
You don’t have to be a model.
You don’t have to perform.
You just have to be you — I’ll take care of the rest.
Meet Your Photographer
Hey, I’m Luke — and I’m here to make this easy.
I know most people don’t feel natural in front of a camera.
That’s why I don’t treat sessions like performances.
I’m the guy who helps you relax, helps you laugh, and quietly pays attention so the real you shows up — the version your friends and family already recognize.
Natural.
Unforced.
Comfortably real.
