Bio
Jayme Sun Thomas, "Sunpuperwolf", Professional Wildlife Photographer and Naturalist, grew up with her younger Brother raised by their Mom, who took Jayme and her Brother camping frequently in the beautiful Pine Forests of the San Bernardino Mountains, Lake Tahoe, Idlewild, and Yosemite National Park, where she experienced the beautiful sounds and sights of Wildlife around her when she hiked the trails, slept in tents, built campfires, and roughed it in the wilds. Jayme, later in her youth, backpacked high in the Sierra Nevada Mountains over Mammoth and experienced the beauty of Wildlife and Nature above Timberline!
Jayme got intrigued at around age 10 by a book, titled, "The Call of the Wild", by Jack London, and studied everything about the behaviors and beauty of Wolves, building a giant collection of books on Wolves that she still owns till this day. It was Jayme's dream at a very young age, to someday live in the wilds of Alaska with Wolves, and eat, sleep, and hunt with them, all to study their behavior in the wild. It was at age 19, when Jayme adopted the identity of "Sunpuperwolf", since she felt energized like the sun's rays, was a young pup, like a Wolf Pup, at age 19, and really felt like a Wolf in a Human's body, thus the name, "Sunpuperwolf!"
When Jayme entered College, she worked on a Biochemistry Degree for a limited time, licensed as an EMT for 17 years, and as she was taking courses in College, Jayme realized that she would rather be surrounded by Nature, Hiking, and Photographing Wildlife, rather than working in a Lab as a Chemist for her Profession. Jayme has earned 3 Associates Degrees, in Photography, and in Photography Fine Arts. She has published three articles in Outdoor Writers Association of America's Outdoor's Unlimited publication, had an article published in the Signal Newspaper, has published 7 Nature and Wildlife Photo books, a Native American Indian Pow Wow book, has juried an OWAA Photography Competition, has exhibited 24 of her images in Photography and Art Exhibitions, and has earned several ribbons in Photography competitions.
Jayme lives and breathes Wildlife Photography, where hiking in the Woodlands gives her peace and energy every time that she observes a Wild Animal behavior as they are interacting with another species, as well as with prey/predators, in their natural habitat. The Circle of Life is what she strives to capture with every shot. Due to Jayme's Love of all Animals, she fears the threats of Extinction that continue to challenge their survival and contribution of Biodiversity on Earth. It is Jayme's hope to instill the feeling in Mankind of the beauty and peacefulness that Wildlife contributes to this Planet in order to generate funding for the protection and preservation of the world's Wildlife Species.
