Layne has always been observant by nature, looking up, down, and around, taking everything in. She notices the way light moves through a space, the balance of a room, the subtle details that often go unseen, and how an environment can shape the way you feel.

It was only natural that she fell in love with photography in high school, drawn to its ability to preserve a moment and hold onto a feeling just a little longer. That instinct continues to guide her work today.

With a sincere appreciation for design and the intention behind it, Layne approaches each space with care and curiosity. She focuses on capturing the nuances that define a project, from materiality and composition to the way light interacts with form. Based in Chicago and Ann Arbor, she works with clients nationwide to create imagery that feels both refined and true to the space.
