A Behind the Scenes look at the Creative

Hi, Iโ€™m Laysea ~

Born and raised in a small town on Floridaโ€™s east coast, Iโ€™ve spent the last decade living a fluid, on-the-go lifestyle shaped by curiosity, creativity, and connection. After high school, I traded the traditional path for one of self-discoveryโ€”moving into my 1983 Volkswagen and setting out cross-country. Along the way, I fell in love with storytelling through the lens, capturing moments and creating art with the people I met on the road.

My career was born in the field, shaped by real experiences and the stories that unfolded in front of me. Now based in Encinitas, CA, I specialize in everything from rugged, off-the-grid adventures to high-fashion editorial work. I offer full-service, one-stop-shop productionsโ€”including art direction, talent and location scouting, and asset deliveryโ€”bringing a holistic, hands-on approach to every project.

Letโ€™s work Together
