San Diego's Premier Pet Photographer

Hello, my name is Kat. Passionate, patient and maybe a little quirky. Belgian-raised, with a huge love for San Diego. A dedicated pet mom who, just like you, knows our pets are an irreplaceable and unforgettable part of our family. Let me help you photograph what you love most and turn it into memories you will never forget.

Plan your perfect photo session

Custom full service

I promise to take all the work off your plate so you can focus on the fun. Together, we’ll create a session that captures your story, from the perfect location to a stunning final product.

Inclusive

With a deep love for both pets and their humans, I am dedicated to creating a warm, inclusive, and safe space where everyone—whether pet or human—is wholeheartedly welcome.

Infinitely patient

Photo sessions are designed to be fun, relaxed, and stress-free. Perfection isn’t required—your pet doesn’t need to be perfectly trained to capture perfectly beautiful moments.

No better time than now

Possibly a dated saying but that doesn't mean it's wrong.

If you have been waiting for a perfect time or right reason for a photo session I'm here to tell you that time is now.

Every day we get to spend with our dog or cat is a reason to celebrate, from bouncing kittens to sugar-coated old muzzles. So let's capture that love today!

No Tricks? No Problem!

If you’re worried because your favorite pooch doesn’t know sit or stay, don’t be…

I’ll let you in on a secret: a trained dog is absolutely no requirement for capturing breathtaking images.

My priorities are simple: safety first, an amazing experience for you and your pet, and capturing memories that last a lifetime. No training required!

This means all pets are welcome, from proud obedience champions to happy-go-lucky pups or even our nervous homebodies. Your pets are my specialty and I approach each session with the same dedication, love for my craft and patience for every unique story.

Celebrating Cats and Dogs Alike!

Pet photography isn’t just for dogs, cats are a delight to photograph! Their elegance and unique personalities make them ideal for creating stunning portraits. If you’ve ever dreamed of capturing your feline companion but worried it wouldn’t work because they’re shy, strong-willed, or easily stressed, let me put your mind at ease. With experience and patience, I’ll ensure we create beautiful, timeless images that celebrate your cat’s one-of-a-kind charm.

I Find Something Special In Every Session I Capture

So, what’s your and your pet’s role during the photo session? Simple! To get the best portraits, all you need to do is be perfectly and uniquely yourselves.

Hey, hi, hello there

I'm Kat!

And if you're here I'm sure that your pets are your entire world, just like mine are to me. See that black blob that I am holding? His name is Brigand (his friends call him Bri, pronounced like the cheese) and I would do anything to make him happy.

Just like I would for your dog or cat. In our adventures together, they'll receive the same love, care and support any of my own pets would. Our pets are our family and I promise I'll treat them as if they are mine too.

So welcome, I'm so happy you're part of the tribe and I can't wait to meet you!
