About Wth 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

01

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.

02

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.

03

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.

A Session with Andrea

Testimonials

What People Are Saying

“Andrea captured my maternity pictures and when I say she is amazing to work with. I mean it. I have worked with many photographers before and my experience with her was off the charts. She was organized, prepared, and she wanted to truly know me and what I wanted and envisioned. She made the whole process feel so easy and she didn’t make me feel like just a client. She treated me exactly like I was family which made me feel so at ease and comfortable trusting her. I highly recommend to book with her. You won’t regret it!”

Keisha Prafke

“As a photographer myself, I’m particular about every detail, and I have to say, Andrea exceeded all expectations! From the moment we connected, her professionalism, creativity, and keen eye for detail were apparent. She captured moments in a way that felt authentic and beautifully composed, showcasing not just technical skill but an artistic vision that sets them apart. The lighting, composition, and timing were all impeccable. I highly recommend Andrea to anyone seeking a truly exceptional storytelling session. You won’t be disappointed!” 

Michelle Gritters

“Andrea was a dream to work with. She got to know me, my story, and my heart and perfectly captured it in my photos. I felt seen and celebrated through the entire process. I took part in her “Lift Your Soul” package after a very emotionally difficult divorce and couple years since as a gift to myself and she made the experience worth every cent. This experience inspired a love for myself and my story that I’d never felt before. Thank you, Andrea.”

Anna Schaefer

“Andrea is truly talented. We invited her to our home for a newborn storytelling session. She was friendly, kind, and a toddler whisperer. She captured our family beautifully as we celebrated our new addition. The photos were so ‘us’, which was a blessing to have for years to come as we look back on them. Andrea and her skills are 100% worth it. She pays attention to detail and delivers beautiful photos for you and your family to enjoy.”

Kaelee Rae Freeman

“What a truly wonderful experience. When I sat down with Andrea to review our photos, I was overcome with emotion. She truly captures candid, joy-filled portraits and it’s all due to the ease of the shoot. Not only was it fun to shoot with her, the product that arose from the shoot was my family in our most vulnerable and natural state.”
