Meet Your Photographers <3

Katie Jaime

Well hello there!

I’m Katie the owner and photographer behind Lemon and Lace Studios.

Thank you so much for stopping by! I’m so happy your here. So a little bit about me…

I’m an outgoing soul that tends to always have a lot going on, I LOVE to be constantly creating.

I’m an ICU nurse by love, but for a lot of reasons I have found not only my love, but my passion outside of the hospital, and that is in photography.

About 5 years ago I put nursing aside and have since been fully committed to my business and the chase for always trying to capture that *perfect* connection, moment and expression.

Photography has allowed me to be creative, always thinking, and expressing emotions through photographs.

On a given day you can find me with a cup of coffee searching etsy sites and pinterest for session inspiration, reading blogs, watching tutorials, hanging with my 4 little kiddos Tommy, Elsie, Mila and Penelope, who by the way are the pure reason I do what I do everyday.

I found that my pure happiness in what I create does not come from the everyday smiling images but I am really trying to always push past that, I want to create art of your wedding, children and family, something that is thought provoking and has just raw tender emotion.

I’m a big hearted gal, that loves capturing pure emotion, and I couldn’t feel more humbled or blessed to be able to capture such a special time in your life. Welcome to my crazy little life. Now let’s begin creating YOUR story.

Lacey Melgoza

Hey there!

I’m Lacey, a 39-year-old supermom, married to my amazing partner, and blessed with four incredible kids. When it comes to my love for animals, let’s just say they hold a special place in my heart (maybe even more than some humans!). But don’t worry, I’m just kidding… mostly! 🐾 

In my free time, you’ll find me in the kitchen, experimenting with new recipes and whipping up delicious meals for my loved ones. Cooking is my creative outlet, and I love trying out different flavors and cuisines. Bon appétit! Traveling is another passion of mine. Exploring new places, experiencing different cultures, and creating unforgettable memories is what fuels my adventurous spirit. And guess what? Swimming with sharks and skydiving are two thrilling activities that I’ve got on my bucket list. Talk about taking a plunge into excitement! 🦈✈️

 When I’m not swimming with sharks or conquering the skies, I find joy in capturing precious moments through family photography. There’s something magical about freezing memories in time, and it gives me immense satisfaction to see those memories come alive on the walls of people’s homes. It’s like filling their lives with a beautiful collage of love and laughter.

So, whether it’s whipping up a culinary masterpiece, embarking on thrilling adventures, or capturing cherished memories, life is all about embracing the moments that make our hearts sing. Join me on this exciting journey and let’s create memories that will last a lifetime! 📸✨
