I was born in Clinton, Oklahoma and now live just outside Weatherford, Oklahoma with my wife, Michele, and our three cats, Lucky, Squeakers and Sophie. My interest in photography grew from my love of the outdoors. I love being around the wildlife and seeing things very few people have seen. I've seen nature the way it really is. I've seen animals struggle for life and lose. I've seen them run and play, and I've seen them die so that others could live. Many of these times, I've been the only one to witness these events, and I strive to share these moments with others through my photography.

I started taking pictures as a hobby and it quickly grew into a part-time business. I became a full-time photographer in 1998.

My images have appeared in magazines, calendars, post cards, screen savers, key chains, and books. My photo credits include Outdoor Oklahoma, Oklahoma Today, Rocky Mountain Elk Foundation, Wildlife Management Institute, Outdoor Life, American Hunter, Impact Photo Graphics, Wyoming Wildlife, Safari Magazine, Turkey Call Magazine, National Wildlife, Smith Southwestern, among others.

Yellowstone National Park is my favorite place to photograph, and I travel there each spring, fall and winter. I also concentrate my efforts at the Wichita Mountains Wildlife Refuge near my home, photographing whitetail deer, bison, blacktail prairie dogs, eastern collared lizards, and turkeys. Other recent efforts have included the photography of wild horses in southwestern Wyoming. Unless otherwise specified, all wildlife were taken in the wild.

Quite impressive! A lot of years of effort outdoors is paying off with some wonderful photos! The black bear and cub shown here and on the National Wildlife Magazine cover is definitely a prize winner.
I look forward to seeing more in the future.

Nice website Kim. Your photos bring back memories of many years sharing your experiences and photography in the wilds of YNP. I look forward this winter and to many more good times.
Keep up the good work. You inspire the rest of us to try to keep pace.
Best;

It appears that your long, extended trips to Yellowstone are really beginning to produce results Kim. There are some great photos here. A few of your Canyon Pack wolf images appear very familiar. That might be because we were the only people photographing the Canyon Pack on a certain evening in October, 2008, and standing side by side.

I especially like the black bear sow and cub. Keep up the good work!!
