Our Story

Luminous Lens Studio began with a simple vision: to capture the essence of Seattle and its people through the art of photography. Founded in 2018 by Anya Petrova, a passionate photographer with over a decade of experience, our studio has quickly become a trusted name in the Pacific Northwest for portraits, weddings, and commercial photography. Anya's journey began at the University of Washington's School of Art + Art History + Design, where she honed her skills and developed a unique perspective on visual storytelling.
From its humble beginnings in a small Fremont studio, Luminous Lens Studio has grown into a team of talented photographers and editors dedicated to providing exceptional service and creating lasting memories. We believe that every client has a unique story to tell, and we are committed to capturing those stories with artistry and care. Our approach is collaborative and personalized, ensuring that each photoshoot reflects the individual style and vision of our clients.
Over the years, we have had the privilege of working with a diverse range of clients, from individuals and families to local businesses and organizations. Whether it's capturing the joy of a wedding day at the Volunteer Park Conservatory, creating professional headshots for executives at Amazon, or producing stunning product photos for a local coffee roaster, we approach every project with the same level of dedication and attention to detail. Our commitment to quality and customer satisfaction has earned us a reputation as one of the leading photography studios in Seattle.
As we look to the future, we remain committed to our founding principles: to provide exceptional photography services, to foster a creative and collaborative environment, and to give back to the Seattle community. We are excited to continue capturing life's precious moments for years to come.
