Photography for people who don't do boring
Get to know me
Hey, there! My name is Lex. I'm a momma of two and I’m a conceptual and creative lifestyle portrait photographer based in Des Moines, Iowa. I love working with individuals, artists, and brands who want images that feel expressive and intentional rather than traditional or basic. I use prisms and experimental techniques to create portraits rooted in emotion and identity. Every session is guided by collaboration, creativity, and the story you want to tell.

Testimonials
"Lex is not only an incredible photographer, but an even more incredible person. Her techniques and editing skills have only grown stronger over the years and the experience she creates is unmatched. If you're awkward or shy in front of the camera, she has a way of making you feel completely comfortable and beautiful!!
She moves with you, meets you where you're at, and makes sure the entire experience feels natural and enjoyable. I never have to worry about looking or posing "perfect". Her eye captures you beautifully in every moment. I've worked with Lex for years now and every time she reminds me just how beautiful I really am!
I'll recommend Lex Captures forever. If you need a confidence boost, she is absolutely your girl!"

Testimonials
"I have done photos with Lexi since before my now husband and I were married, and I have to say, her attention to detail has always been phenomenal! She will work with you if you're indecisive on something and throw a suggestion out there and take it to the next level. With our latest photo session, she made our daughter feel at ease when she felt overwhelmed and came up with different ideas to make her feel comfortable with family photos. Working with her has always been a joy!"
