LUEM-Photographer
Meet your Photographer

Hello, my name is jonlaya

LUEM Photography is named after my daughters, Lucy and Emry—a little reminder of what matters most.


I grew up in California but have called Virginia home for most of my life. When I’m not behind the camera, I’m usually in the garden, baking bread, or chasing chickens. I love vintage finds and quiet moments at home—those everyday bits of life that feel small but mean everything.


That’s how I approach photography too—honest, intentional, and full of heart.
