Born and raised on the sun-kissed shores of Aruba, I'm Ray, a photographer with a passion for capturing life's authentic moments. Sunray Studios is my homage to the golden hour, where real stories unfold. My style is spontaneous and heartfelt, focusing on the energy of the moment. I’ve hiked hills, ventured to rocky shores, and set up cozy booths to find the perfect backdrop to bring every scene to life.
From birthdays and weddings to pet portraits and family gatherings, I’ve had the joy of capturing many special days, always with an eye for authenticity. Inspired by the warmth of vintage photography, I aim to create images that feel like a snapshot in time. I’m great with pets and always ready to travel wherever the light leads.
Let’s capture your story, naturally and uniquely. Reach out to book your session with Sunray Studios today!
The process
At our studio under the sun, I make sure every photoshoot is a relaxing, enjoyable experience. I’ll be there with you every step of the way to calmly guide and help you feel comfortable, so there’s no need to worry about posing or pressure in front of the camera.
You just focus on enjoying the moment, and I’ll take care of the rest to create beautiful, authentic shots that reflect who you are. My goal is to make this as easygoing and stress-free as possible, so you walk away with both great memories and photos to cherish.
There are of course some steps we have to take before we jump into action. Below you will find a simplified three-step guide.
First we will work together on finding the best suitable location for your photoshoot. Then I guide you & your partner/group on your outfit(s), what colors would work best based with the chosen location(s) etc.
Everything's set up? Now you just arrive to the picked location at the time and date we agreed upon and enjoy the experience! I'll take care of the rest.
The images will be touched up and edited using professional software and delivered to you within the next 10 business days via a cloud folder that maintains the images in its highest possible quality.
