Be your raw, unfiltered self—no fancy setups, just the beautiful essence of who you are.
Your Story, Your Mark
Meet Your Photographer
Hey, I'm Layra (Pronounced /LY-rah/)
I am so happy that you landed on this part of the web world to chill with me and potentially plan our future shoot together.
I am here to create space for you to BE YOU.
The I AM series was born from a personal need to show up for myself as I am, and discovering that we have many layers that get to be seen and celebrated.
The photos will be candid; in the moment stills that capture you in your element.
The I AM Portrait Series
Take the time to honor where you’ve been and boldly mark where you’re headed. This is your chance to capture who you are, right here, right now—perfectly imperfect and unapologetically YOU.
These images are more than just photos. They’re a celebration of your journey, a reminder of your strength, and a declaration of who you’re becoming. Let’s create a visual story that tells the world exactly where you’ve been and where you’re going. You deserve to be seen, celebrated, and remembered for exactly who you are.
