Kayla Renckly Photography ~ Phoenix, AZ

Hey there, my name is Kayla Renckly! I'm almost 26 and I'm a photographer in the Phoenix area (in the west valley). I've been married 5 1/2 years to my best friend from childhood and we have two sons, Ethan is 4 and Collin is 18 months, but we'd like to add more.

I have always been the crazy girl with a camera since I can remember, starting with a turquoise Kodak point-and-shoot. I wanted to be a stay-at-home-mom after I had my son and I loved taking pictures of him. I bought my first DSLR in 2005, a Konica Minolta 7d. I started portfolio building in late 2005/early 2006 and really felt I could call myself a professional photographer in late 2007. I upgraded to a Sony A700 and absolutely adore it!

Looking back, I took one of the hardest paths towards this dream and I'm still trying to undo several of those mistakes business-wise. I go through some of those "awesome" photos I took and laugh, I feel like I've come SO far! I'd love to be able to save someone else some of the headaches and hopefully being as inspiring as I am inspired by these seriously talented photographers!

{Longview Washington Photography} Jessica Lemmons Photography

I am a Longview Washington based, on-location, lifestyle photographer. If I were to describe myself in one sentence it would be "wife, mom, camera geek, business nerd, and coffee conosseuir." (My caffiene addiction is legendary!) I have a passion for my family, with a little (and sometimes LARGE) dose of photography on the side. I have two adorable children, and one hot and sexy husband who is my inspiration and encouragement through all of this. He keeps me going and will probably be the source of a lot of what I end up sharing on here - his name is Bryce, in case ya'll we're wondering and that's him with me in the photo.


I shoot with Canon equipment and currently have a 5d and 30d in my arsenal, along with various lens, flashes and other accessories. My website and blog are located here - www.jessicalemmonsphotography.com and here www.jessicalemmonsphotography.com/blog if you wanted to check out my latest goings on.

I'm looking forward to being a part of this blog and can't wait to start sharing some of what has inspired and encouraged me on my journey through the photography and business world, and I hope that in some way I can help inspire and encourage others!
