Lemon and Lace Studios is a Des Moines–based photography studio specializing in weddings, seniors, and studio sessions, known for a warm, editorial style that feels both timeless and true to you. With over 15 years of experience, we’ve built our business on genuine connection, consistency, and making the entire process feel easy and stress free from start to finish.

We’re a small, dedicated team of women photographers who truly care about our clients and the experience we create. Every wedding is personally edited by Katie, the owner, to ensure the signature Lemon and Lace look you fell in love with. Our goal is simple: to capture your story in a way that feels natural, elevated, and something you’ll cherish for years to come.

Timeless & True to You

Our editing style is true to color with a bold, editorial feel. We focus on clean tones, natural skin, and images that feel bright, colorful and timeless without being overly trendy or heavy. You’ll still recognize your day exactly as it was, just a little more polished, a little more refined, and consistent across every image.

We’re intentional about creating work that lasts, not something that feels dated in a few years. It’s that balance of fresh and natural with just enough warmth to give it that signature Lemon and Lace feel.

From the very beginning, everything felt easy and organized, and they truly cared about what was important to us. Our photos are beyond anything we could have imagined, so natural, beautiful, and full of emotion. We felt completely taken care of the entire day.”
