About Michael Kloth Photography
Welcome to Michael Kloth Photography, where artistry meets compassion in every frame. Based in Tucson, Arizona, I specialize in capturing the unique personalities and precious moments of your beloved pets and family through professional portrait photography.
My Background
I hold a Master of Fine Arts degree from the Academy of Art University, where I developed my passion for working with animals by photographing adoptable pets. This experience not only honed my technical skills but also deepened my understanding of animal behavior and the importance of patience and empathy in creating stunning portraits. Since I began working with these animals, I’ve photographed several thousand dogs, cats, and other pets, and I’ve published two books on the subject (Shelter Cats and Shelter Puppies, Merrell Publishers, LTD).
What I Do
As a certified professional photographer, I offer comprehensive pet photography services throughout the Tucson area. Whether you're looking for a quick mini-session to capture your pet's current stage of life, an elegant studio portrait with professional backdrops, or a natural outdoor session in your favorite park, I provide flexible options to meet your vision and needs.
I also offer traditional portrait photography services for individuals and families, bringing the same attention to detail and artistic approach to every session.
My Mission
Every session I photograph serves a greater purpose. Your investment in professional photography helps support my ongoing volunteer work at Pima Animal Care Center, where I continue the life-saving mission that began during my graduate studies. Through my lens, I'm able to give back to the community that has given me so much joy and purpose.
My Approach
I believe that the best portraits happen when subjects feel comfortable and relaxed. Whether working with energetic puppies, shy cats, or multi-pet families, I take the time needed to create an environment where natural personalities can shine through. My goal is to capture not just how your pets look, but who they truly are.
Today, I enjoy working with commercial and retail clients, offering photography and videography services both in and out of the studio. I am proud to continue helping adoptable animals find their forever homes.
