Hi, I am Claudia Lemley!

I’m Claudia, the photographer behind Lemley Family Media. I was born and raised in Whatcom County and photography has been a passion of mine for well over a decade. Long before I ever had a camera, I was taking photos on my phone, editing nature photos, and teaching myself everything I could.

In 2017, I got my first camera and instantly fell even more in love with photography. Since then, I’ve continued learning, growing, and pushing myself creatively every season. I love learning from other photographers, trying new techniques, and finding ways to make my work better than the season before.

What started as Jimenez A Photography eventually grew into something much bigger. After getting married, I rebranded into Lemley Family Media to better reflect everything I’ve grown into creatively beyond just photography. Over the years, I’ve expanded into social media management, promotional graphic design, content creation, and even stepping into the video side of things. I’ve really enjoyed learning how to help bring brands, drivers, teams, and businesses to life both on and off the track through creative media.

Racing photography has become the biggest part of my journey. I grew up going to Deming Speedway since I was 8 years old, so being able to now photograph the sport I grew up loving is honestly surreal sometimes. I started consistently shooting racing in 2020 and have been fortunate enough to work with so many amazing drivers, teams, and tracks throughout the Pacific Northwest. My goal is to continue growing in the motorsports industry, travel to more tracks across the West Coast and beyond, and continue building this passion into something even bigger.

While racing will always be my main passion, I also love photographing seniors, couples, weddings, families, and all the genuine moments in between.
