My first professional photograph was with the US Navy, using a 4X5 Speed Graphic camera, in 1967. During a 40 year career in Law Enforcement, I photographed many crime scenes and traffic crashes. I continue to take college level classes in photography. I have taught classes in Florida, Texas, and Michigan for camera clubs.

201c In my photography, I desire to shoot from the heart; 2019 to visualize from the same place that soul & imagination reside. By doing so, I hope to explore the inner connections and cyclical nature of all things. Through the process of creating images that share the spiritual moments of everyday life, I may succeed in demonstrating what I want images to reflect 2026that art can be life-giving, a way to give some hope back to the world."
With that intention in mind, Kathleen Thompson has caught the heart of more than a few judges. Her photographs have won numerous awards including one bestowed by the Detroit Institute of Arts (see above - Almost Spring). Another hand-colored photo (Dancemist) was chosen as a Detroit News Michigan Magazine cover shot from over 5,000 entries in their 10th annual statewide photo competition. Kathleen has exhibited her work in galleries, and her work has appeared in various publications including Shutterbug Magazine, Metropolitan Woman, Exposures Catalogue, Marianne Williamson 2019s Year of Light Calendar, and Contemporary Doll Magazine. In addition to creating fine art prints and posters, her photos have also graced the covers of CDs and book covers. Kathleen is a Michigan-based photographer who is available for children and family portraits, event photography, and other commercial photo assignments.
