Creative services for brands, pets + the people who love them.
From concept to final delivery, we offer photography, videography, and creative production for modern brands, pets, and families. Whether we’re producing a national product campaign, photographing a beloved family dog, or documenting childhood memories, every project begins the same way—with thoughtful storytelling and intentional design.
Commercial
In a saturated market, your pet brand doesn’t just need to be seen—it needs to be remembered.
We become an extension of your marketing team—from creative concepts and shot lists to production, photography, video, editing, and final delivery.
Combining strategic creative direction with technical precision, we create premium imagery and films that feel authentic, polished, and built to perform. From sleek e-commerce photography to narrative-driven lifestyle campaigns, every asset is crafted to help brands connect with their audience. Whether you need a full production team or simply a photographer to bring your vision to life, we’re equipped to take on as much—or as little—of the process as you need.

Let’s tell a story no one will forget.
They aren’t just pets; they are the main characters of our lives. At Salty Dog Studio, we don't do stiff, predictable pet portraiture. We capture your dog’s true essence—from the dignified, regal gaze to the chaotic, tongue-out joy. Bringing a fine-art approach and a vintage soul to every session, we craft cinematic, timeless portraits that belong on a gallery wall (or over the fireplace). Whether your dog is a natural-born supermodel or a beautifully unhinged ball of energy, we create a relaxed, playful studio experience where their unique personality can shine. Let’s preserve a piece of their legacy.
Pet Portraits
Time moves fast, and kids move faster. At Salty Dog Studio, we don't do stiff, matchy-matchy poses or forced smiles. We capture your family exactly as you are: vibrant, deeply connected, and beautifully unscripted.
Bringing a fine-art perspective and a documentary soul to every session, we craft cinematic family portraits that feel less like a photoshoot and more like a preserved memory. From the quiet, tender moments to the wild, laughing-so-hard-it-hurts energy, we photograph the real chapters of your story. These aren't just photos for the grid—they are timeless heirlooms meant to be passed down.
Let’s document the magic in the mundane.

What People Are Saying

![commercial travel lifetsyle photographer kids brand photographer]()
She’s always willing to do what it takes to make our vision happen…from researching locations, shooting multiple locations in one day, working directly with models (lots of kids & even babies!), We always come away with the shots we wanted and more, which is a cherry on top. Her professionalism and ease to work with continues post production, making sure our images are prepared according to our needs. - Sarah Childress Co Owner of JL Childress

Katelin is amazing and has a knack for making puppies feel right at home. I have a fairly nervous dog but the studio is so well set up and cozy she settled in and we got great photos. We now have several up around our house. Pro-tip: the best photos come when the peanut butter spoon comes out! - Devon, OC Dog Mom

Katelin and her team brought our ambitious and wild photoshoot ideas to life from ideation to execution. It takes a lot of patience to wrangle dogs and get them situated for the picture perfect-shot, but no shot was too challenging for Katelin. The final photos we received truly embody the creative work and incredible energy Katelin and her team put into our shoot. I truly enjoyed my experience working with Katelin and her team and look forward to working with her on future shoots. - Katie Salcius, Senior Manager of Social Media at JustFoodForDogs

Katelin has the ability to take any situation and make amazing photos. If you have the pleasure of working with her you will feel comfortable and relaxed since she is also one of the most kind people I know. She has a heart of gold and it shows in her work.

Katelin at the Salty Dog Studio is by far the most talented photographer you could ever dream to work with. Whether it’s humans or animals, her commercial work is unmatched. She is professional, creative, understanding, patient, on time, and is willing to go above and beyond to produce quality work that is evergreen. No one comes close to her. There’s nothing that she can’t do, we’ve always been so beyond impressed. We refuse to work with anyone else. - Christine Abdelmake CEO Pink Papyrus
