Just in time for Mother’s Day!

When Karen came to Memphis to work for The Commercial Appeal in 1988, one of her favorite photo beats was the Memphis Zoo. She has a love for animals, and she and her three children spent many hours visiting. Working closely with the zoo, Karen photographed the stories of many animals, zookeepers, and the zoo vets. Her ongoing favorite, though, was photographing the zoo’s babies. Her photo of a nuzzling mother and baby giraffe have been going viral for over a decade and have become one of her most popular photos. Karen’s photos have showcased the Memphis Zoo in publications worldwide. She has put together a collection of her photos that highlight the zoo’s mothers and babies in a new children’s book, Memphis Zoo Babies, available in the Memphis Zoo Gift Shop. Proceeds will benefit the zoo. The gift shop also sells her cards and photographs.
