Personalized Portrait Photography With Concierge-Level Service

About Light & Lens

An Experience You'll Never Forget.

I offer a wide range of personalized photography services in the Des Moines and Pella areas and beyond – portrait, family, couples, maternity, and boudoir – as well as my signature package, Lift Your Soul: a luxury storytelling experience designed exclusively for women. Whether it’s a gift for someone you love or something you’re finally doing for yourself, every session with me is personal, intentional, and completely unlike anything you’ve experienced before.

My goal is simple: to get to know you on a personal level before I photograph you. I take the time to learn about your style, your story, and your dreams so I can ensure that your unique vision, in its fullest expression, is crafted into fine art portraits worthy of display.

The Experience

How It Works

Let's Connect

Every session always starts with a casual intro call. We’ll walk through who you are, what you want to capture, and how to make the whole experience feel effortless from start to finish.

Your Session

I handle every detail in advance so that on shoot day, all you have to do is show up and enjoy it. Whether you want direction on every pose or the freedom to just be yourself, I’ll make sure you feel completely at ease.

Portraits You’ll Actually Display

After your session, I carefully select and professionally edit your images, enhancing your natural features while preserving the integrity of your look. Then comes the best part: envisioning your portraits as fine art on your walls, in a beautiful luxury album, or anywhere in your home that deserves something beautiful.

Testimonials

What People Are Saying

“Absolutely blown away and so in love with these photos. They captured real, raw moments—our smiles, our love, our laughter, and our personalities.”

Galeazzi Family

“She put us at ease and even helped narrow down an amazing location that we’ve since gone back to just to hang out! The session itself was fun and relaxed—my kids had an absolute blast, and I finally got their true smiles captured in a photo.”

Rock Family

“Drawing beauty out of darkness would be what I call my experience. The shoot broke a rehearsed story I had played for too long. Andrea wasn’t threatened, scared, or shocked to go to all levels to meet me emotionally during my session.”
