Captivating reflections of the animals who make your world whole

 What they’re saying

“I always knew I had an amazing connection with my horse. But to actually see our bond captured so beautifully in your photographs just blew me away.” - Cory M. 

“Kate is able to see each dog for who they are. She has a vision and the shots I got back are amazing, clean with excellent lighting. I don’t have two of the dogs anymore and I’m grateful beyond words to have these photos. Kate is so easy to work with, making everyone feel very comfortable.”

"I was really nervous that my crabby mare would not put her ears forward for the pictures and they would not turn out! She can be very grouchy and not in the mood to participate in fun things. Kate was amazing with my mare and brought so many interesting objects! My mare had her ears forward in every shot and Kate made my mare look like a sweet angel” - Haley W.

But it’s hard to capture their depths in a snapshot.

Those kind, curious, equine eyes - they feel flat in your pictures. Your wiggly, fat-bellied pup - a photographic blur of fur and flesh.

Time goes by quickly, and these are memories you’ll want to savor. Not to worry.

They say the eyes are the window to the soul…

…but the ears tell the real story.

Upright and attentive, at the sound of a leash lifted from its hook.

Pinned back in the mare glare, if you fail to fill your pocket with carrots before heading to the barn.

Your pets are your intimate companions - your family. You know every mood, every multitude they contain.

At Kate Westfall Photography, you’ll get images that capture your pet’s true personality, and celebrate your unparalleled bond.

Hi, I’m Kate!

I started my career in the Air Force, but now I’m the founding member - the only member?? - of the Ear Force.

My mission: To put your pets at ease while creating incredible photographic art. When their ears are soft and relaxed, when they’re having as much fun during a session as I am, when I nail the shot that leaves you at a loss for words…I’ve done my job.

How It Works

No forced poses. No stress. Just real connection, rooted in soulful moments. 

Step 1: Let’s Chat 
We’ll hop on the phone to talk about your dog, your horse, your story—and start dreaming up the perfect session. 

 Step 2: Make Some Magic 
We’ll meet somewhere peaceful, let your four-legged best friend be themselves, and capture the connection you share—muddy paws, tangled mane, and all. 

 Step 3: The Big Reveal 
You’ll see your portraits, feel all the feels, and order the pieces you’ll treasure forever. 

Artwork, not digital clutter.   

With the touch of a few buttons, your smartphone can play a podcast, show the forecast, or summon a corned beef Reuben from the corner deli. It's a capable tool.  

But when it comes to capturing the depth of your animal relationships, your phone—bless its microprocessor heart—is out of its league. 

And even the good shots languish in the cloud, gathering digital dust.  

That's why I specialize in beautiful, museum-quality art for your home.  

Given the place your pets have in your heart, they most certainly deserve a place on your walls.

Imagine This on Your Wall.

A quiet moment. A soulful expression. Artwork that honors the bond you share and brings it to life, every time you walk by.
