About Luke
Lover of the outdoors, meditation, hugs, and seeing my clients express themselves.
Hey there! I’m glad you’re here. In my eight years of experience as a media professional, I have worked with businesses across many different industries - coaching, music festivals, e-commerce, tech, you name it. Through all those experiences, one lesson has reigned true over the rest - great creative is built on the foundation of a great relationship. Together, as the joint force of client and creative, we combine your vision and my expertise to show the world what they need to see about you & your business.
As your creative partner, it’s my job (and passion) to get to the heart of your business, and use those details to inform our creative decisions. From that space, we create something that represents you authentically and forms a connection with your audience.
Values
Partnership over Transaction.
Working with me is not a one-time exchange driven by dollars. This is a creative collaboration with the intention of building a lasting partnership. From our first call, we begin forming a relationship built with presence, care, and a genuine desire to understand what you uniquely bring to the world through your business. I’m not here to sell you a package and send you on your way. I’m here to walk alongside you, learn what matters most to you, and create media that you’re excited to plug into your marketing.
Advocacy for your expression.
My business is built on the idea that the world wants more authentic expression. Your customers don’t want to be sold to or talked at - they want to feel more of the humans behind the brand. Through my processes, like gentle posing, intentional interview questions, or even blasting your favorite tunes during our shoot, I create that space where you feel safe to express yourself, and confident that your story is being held with care. Together, we will tease out your self expression so that your customers connect to the human(s) behind the business.
Strategically driven content.
People often come to me with a specific deliverable in mind - “we need a video of our event,” “we need new headshots for our website” - but lack an end goal. But this is only the beginning of your visual transformation. I take the time to listen deeply, ask the right questions, and tailor every part of our process to your goals and values. The result is content that’s not only authentic, but forms an emotional connection with your audience, driving them to your end goal.
Aligning you to your brand.
As your creative partner, I take the time to listen deeply, ask the right questions, and tailor every part of the process to your goals and values. Being a third party allows me to offer a fresh, curious perspective, helping to make you feel seen and understood long before photography begins. From that place, connected, authentic storytelling naturally emerges.
