Hi, I’m Katelin
I’m a SoCal native, a Fine Art Photography graduate, and a photographer who has spent over a decade perfecting my signature look. I founded The Salty Dog Studio in Costa Mesa to capture content with character—whether that’s a striking commercial campaign for your brand, a vibrant family milestone, or a soulful pet portrait (whiskers and all!).
My team is ready to produce, create, and execute high-quality visual content tailored to your brand’s marketing goals. From large-scale campaign productions to ongoing monthly content creation, we provide a seamless, full-service experience designed to keep your brand consistently visible and engaging. Whether you need imagery for social media, advertising, e-commerce, email marketing, websites, or print collateral, we create versatile content that works across every platform.
Looking for consistent content throughout the year? Our monthly content partnerships provide brands with fresh, professionally produced imagery on a recurring basis, ensuring you always have a library of on-brand assets ready for your next launch, campaign, or marketing initiative.
- We can't wait to see you in the studio!
CHEERS, Katelin
What We Do
We offer monthly content partnerships that provide brands with fresh, professionally produced imagery on a recurring basis. We also offer one time shoots for brand campaigns big and small.
We handle it all! We produce, create, and execute high-quality visual content tailored to your brand’s marketing goals!
From dynamic lifestyle campaigns to clean product imagery, we create high-impact, professional visuals that showcase your brand’s personality. We know how to wrangle the talent (peanut butter spoon included) to deliver the "wow factor" your brand needs to stand out in a crowded market.
They’re more than just pets—they’re family. Whether your pup is a natural performer or a little camera-shy, we know exactly how to capture their unique quirks, soulful eyes, and favorite expressions. Pet portraits is the root of where our commercial pet photography grew. Come visit our Costa Mesa studio and let’s create art of the ones you love most.
Kids grow up fast, and family life is beautifully chaotic. We skip the rigid, forced smiles to capture the genuine laughter, windswept hair, and joyful energy of your family. Whether in our coastal studio or out on location, we create relaxed, vibrant portraits you’ll cherish for a lifetime. We also offer luxury artwork and albums that will last many years.
