Hello there!
My name is Kim Dunlap and I am a professional photographer based out of beautiful Washington state. My wonderful husband, Jeff, and I have a darling daughter, a sweet baby boy, a 150lb. pooch, and two fluffy felines. I grew up raising all types of animals on acreage, and while we currently live in a nice suburban neighborhood, I am very much looking forward to the day that I can finally stretch my legs on some land again!
My passion for photography began at a very young age, back in the days of the Polaroid instant camera's popularity. When I turned fourteen, my parents gave me my first professional-grade Nikon. I took a few photography classes in high school, but did not pursue art as a career at the time. Instead, I focused on subjects like science and the performing arts (percussion and wind instruments). After earning multiple degrees from Washington State University, I spent several years in the banking and real estate industries. At one point, I realized that I ought to be focusing on what truly brought me joy: my love of photography. I guess you could say that everything finally "clicked" for me! I specialize in landscapes, seascapes, wildlife, and floral photography.
While the majority of my photography takes place in the beautiful Pacific Northwest, I also love to travel and capture images from around the world. By the age of nineteen, I had traveled to five of the world's seven continents, and I plan to make it to the remaining two (South America and Antarctica) within my lifetime.
My inspiration comes primarily from nature: a spectacular evening sky radiating with color, the first warm day in spring when the tulips raise their faces to the sun, a quiet moment observing a heron wading peacefully in the water in search of a fish... My hope is that my artwork will bring others as much joy in their own homes as I find through my lens!
