Meet the Photographer
Hello, my name is
Jaylyn Bauer-Leffler
I am the owner, operator, and principal photographer for Wild Vandalia Photography Services - the picture-perfect place. I started my photography career in 1993 as a fireground photographer in Ripley, WV. It's West Virginia's origin story that gives Wild Vandalia its name - and taglone. Life brought me to the PNW in 2016, and my photography reached new heights. I'm pleased to serve you and your family or organization with quality, affordable photography services.
 
Joining Jaylyn in the Wild Vandalia endeavor are Simon and Alex
By day, Simon is a statistician with an analytical mind. His skills do not lie in photography, but in
his ability to keep a cool head under pressure, keeping Jaylyn organized, and carrying heavy things
Alex is an attorney working to support the exploited and marginalized. He is a part-time second
photographer for Wild Vandalia, and his artistic influence resonates in our collaborations.
