What is an Ayre?
An 'ayre' is the quiet melody carried by nature, the unseen harmony that lingers long after the moment fades.
Natural, Comfortable Portraits — Portland Metro & Beyond

My sessions aren’t performances.

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.
