Dog Photographer of the Year 2026
Katie Brockman
Hello! I’m Katie, a dog photographer based in St. Louis, Missouri, USA. I started photography after my dog Caldwell ended up at the emergency vet on Christmas Eve 2020 for an obstruction surgery. I suddenly realized that I didn’t have enough photos of him, and I wanted a way to document our adventures together. So I saved up for a camera, and in 2021, I officially started my dog photography journey.
