Photographer Springfield MO
Photography Services by Designing Indie
Hi, I’m Andie Mae — a Springfield, MO photographer and multidisciplinary creative behind Designing Indie. I photograph people, art, places, and products with a focus on storytelling, color, and authenticity.
With over 20 years of photography experience (10+ professionally), my work spans senior portraits, weddings, families, musicians, commercial projects, museums, and travel. I believe the best photos feel like you — not stiff, forced, or overproduced — and every session is collaborative, personalized, and unrushed.

"I cannot even begin to describe how incredibly happy I am with the photos I received! Andie is an absolute angel! She did my hair, my makeup, and the photos she took of me made me feel a way I never thought I could. I looked at the pictures she took of me, and I just started crying! She literally turned me into art, and it was amazing. She was also so helpful, and she will work with you on ANYTHING! I wanted a retro, 70’s shoot, and she made it happen instantly! The photos truly look like they came from a 1970’s magazine! She can truly create anything, and I will use her again! I promise that you WILL NOT be disappointed! Andie has a true talent, and it’s unlike any I’ve ever witnessed before! She’s amazing!" - Mandy Clair
Senior Pictures
Senior photos should feel like a celebration — not a chore. I specialize in highly personalized senior pictures that reflect personality, interests, and style. Sessions are relaxed, creative, and designed to feel fun (not awkward).

Headshot Photography
From business owners and doctors to actors and creatives, I create headshots that feel confident, natural, and modern. As a former actor, I understand how much a great headshot matters — it’s your first impression, and it should feel like you.
Musician Promo & Album Covers
I photograph musician promotional images and album cover art, collaborating on creative direction, sets, outfits, and visual concepts. Whether you need bold cover art or clean press photos, we build imagery that matches your sound and story.
"I want to thank you again. What probably seems like a small thing really was one of the biggest parts of our day. It was such a blessing to me to not have to worry about trying to capture all of the memories with our friends and family. After Jamari’s adoption I spent all my time taking pictures of everyone else and didn’t really get to enjoy the occasion. I wish you could have been here when the kids looked through all the pictures. You captured all of their unique little personalities and they were so excited to see them. They also loved that you let them suggest where to take photos." - Sara Hayworth
Family Photography
Family sessions are relaxed, playful, and inclusive of families of all kinds. As a parent myself, I know kids don’t sit still — and that’s okay. Play, movement, and candid moments are often where the magic happens. Pets welcome 🐾

"I can't say enough about how great it was to work with Andie. She did a fabulous job capturing us. I really appreciate her work. I highly recommend!" - Caron Settle Parnell
Engagement Photography
Engagement sessions are about connection, not posing. I photograph couples in natural, meaningful settings, capturing both the quiet moments and the joy. Sessions are flexible, unhurried, and tailored to you.

"I can't thank Designing Indie enough for how special our wedding was because of the thought and care that went into designing our invitations, and capturing our Wedding day photos perfectly!" - Brandon Landers
Wedding Photography
My wedding photography is documentary-driven with an artistic edge. I focus on real moments, emotion, and story — not stiff timelines or forced smiles. Coverage options range from half-day to full-day weddings.

"Wow!! Andie!! Every time you send us photos we think, "these are the best ones!" then you send more and we think "no THESE are the best ones. Well, we're thinking that again." - Summer at Culture Flock
Product & Editorial Photography
I photograph products for brands, websites, print ads, and social media, offering creative direction and editorial-style imagery when needed. Clean, bold, or story-driven — the visuals are built around how your product is used and seen.

Event Photography
From fundraisers and workshops to performances and cultural events, I document events with a natural, unobtrusive approach. My goal is to capture the atmosphere, energy, and people — not just a checklist of moments.
