About Michael Kloth Photography

I'm Michael Kloth, and I've been a professional photographer since 2006. After working in Kentucky and Washington state, I moved my business to Tucson in 2011, and I've been photographing pets and people here ever since.

I specialize in two areas: pet photography and professional headshots. I bring my mobile studio to your location throughout the Tucson metro area, which means you get professional results without the hassle of traveling to a studio.

Professional Credentials

I hold an MFA in Photography from the Academy of Art University in San Francisco, where I specialized in studio lighting and commercial photography. I'm also a Certified Professional Photographer (CPP) through Professional Photographers of America, and I maintain memberships in both PPA and the American Society of Media Photographers.

These credentials matter because they represent ongoing education and adherence to professional standards—but what matters more is that I create photographs you'll value for years to come.

Community Involvement

I regularly volunteer at Pima Animal Care Center and the Humane Society of Southern Arizona, photographing shelter animals to help them find homes. I've also published two books featuring shelter animals, and I continue to support rescue organizations through my photography.

This volunteer work does more than support a cause I care about—it keeps my skills sharp. Working with shelter animals means photographing pets who may be stressed, uncertain, or unfamiliar with studio environments. That experience translates directly to working with your pets in ways that keep them comfortable and produce better photographs.

My Approach

I bring professional studio equipment to your home, office, or outdoor location. This mobile approach means your pets stay in familiar surroundings, and you don't need to worry about logistics. For headshots, I can work in your office, at your home, or at a location that fits your schedule.

I've photographed thousands of pets and hundreds of professionals over nearly twenty years. I know how to work efficiently, how to help you feel comfortable in front of the camera, and how to capture authentic expressions—whether that's your dog's personality or your professional presence.

Service Areas

I serve Tucson, Oro Valley, Marana, Vail, and Catalina Foothills. If you're outside these areas, contact me—I'm often willing to travel for the right project.

Let's Work Together

If you're looking for pet photography that captures your animal's personality, or headshots that represent you professionally, I'd be happy to discuss your project.
