New Mexico Ski Adventure with Kay Pratt

February 28, 2016 by James Pratt

My wife is a ski fanatic. She is an expert level skier – double black diamond runs are her thing. The more challenging the better. She and I also love to explore back roads. I don’t mean just “get off the Interstate” back roads. I mean dirt roads, cow trails, and even places where there […]

Kayak Fishing in Oklahoma

May 27, 2015 by James Pratt

To continue with my fishing theme from yesterday, today I bring you kayak fishing around Oklahoma. Although I grew up around fishing and my grandfather LOVED to take me fishing, I never was big into fishing – until I got a kayak last year. I am not sure what triggered the fun compared to boat […]

Rising from the Ashes – for Kansas Agriculture Magazine

During the summer 2017 I took a trip to western Kansas for a long-time client and photographed a couple of stories in the area. For one story I stopped in Clark County and photographed the Ashland Veterinarian Clinic for a story about how the clinic helped local farmers during and after a huge spring prairie […]

I traveled to Tulsa to photograph KOTV’s Leanne Taylor for Oklahoma Living’s “Best of Oklahoma” story for the January 2018 edition of the magazine. It was early December and I had to be there at 7 am to scout for a location. We ended up photographing Leanne after her 9 am television show inside the […]

Shawnee Mills for Oklahoma Living Magazine

Had a fun time photographing this story about Shawnee Mills in where else? Shawnee, Oklahoma. I love shooting photos of industrial-type settings and people at work. I worked with one of my favorite writers Hayley Leatherwood on this project. Because of the dust from the flour mill, I had to mount two cameras with lenses […]

I traveled to Garden City, Kansas over the summer to photograph a story about water conservation efforts in the Ogallala Aquifer that covers western Kansas, Nebraska and Oklahoma.

Her father Carl Booher […]

Texas Horned Lizard in Oklahoma Today Magazine

“Would you like to photograph a story about the Horny Toad at Tinker Air Force Base?” I got that question after answering the phone call from Megan Rossman, photo editor at Oklahoma Today Magazine. “Heck yea!” Didn’t take me long to answer that question. I had originally told Nathan Gunter, editor at Oklahoma Today, about […]

I just love photographing Oklahoma farmers and ranchers.

Oklahoma Living Magazine Cover August 2017 – College Mascots

I photographed five college mascots in late June for a story about student mascots for Oklahoma Living Magazine. It was HOT that day – nearly 100 degrees by the time we got everyone onto the UCO football field in Edmond. I got everything set up and tested before the mascots arrived so that I could […]
