Ok folks, it’s been way too long since I last posted…trying to catch up!! Lots of news coming – I’ve been busy!

Been to Canada and New York teaching pin-up photography, shot a ton of awesome weddings for some wonderful people…and now into the end of summer with some more weddings, more pin-ups, and coming October 23rd…Mad Dogs and Englishmen!

Hello dog lovers! and welcome to Katchlight Photography’s “Dog Day” – or as we call it around here, “Mad Dog’s and Englishmen”!! Please take the time to read through all the info on this page, your best friend will really appreciate it, and so will I.

This studio day is dedicated to our doggy friends big and small, and even though I don’t personally have a dog, I love them and wanted to create something special for Portland’s pooches! Taking a few clues from a photographer friend of mine in Canada, James Hodgins, Mad Dogs was my way of giving dog owners an amazing way to capture their loved one, and also to benefit the Oregon Humane Society. My session fees for the Dog Day have been reduced and $10 from each one will go to the OHS, and you also have to bring along a bag of dry dog food that will also go to OHS.

There are only 20 openings for Mad Dogs, so you need to call the studio to secure your space.

Mad Dogs is October 23rd. (by appointment)

Viewing day is October 27th, (by appointment)

Mad Dogs session fee is $59 plus a large bag of dry dog food (see specs below)

$10 of each session fee and the dog food will go to OHS.

Mad Dogs is not your typical, run of the mill photo shoot. I plan on capturing the life and soul of each dog and getting their personality to shine. This often happens within a few clicks of the shutter, sometimes it takes a little longer. For this special day, I will be focussing on each dog, and not the background or props or colors. As you can see by the promo images of Mazy on this page, by making the portraits simple and black and white, your eyes are drawn right into the personality of the dog.

Sessions will be approximately 20 minutes each. I try to capture the winning shots in the first 5 minutes so we don’t stess the dogs out, making them breathe heavy with tongues sticking out (sometimes a good thing!).
