Welcome to Kathy Cafazzo Photography
Back for a second consecutive year!
2025 Pooch Playoffs
Does your pup (or kitten) have what it takes to claim the title of the "Ulti-Mutt Cutie" of North Central Florida?
We are going to find the cutest pup in North Central Florida and raise money for the Faithful Friends Pet Rescue and Rehoming at the same time.
What is Pooch Playoffs?
March Madness - Pup Style
- To coincide with March Madness (the NCAA Basketball Tournament), your fur baby will be entered in "The Ulti-Mutt Cutie" bracket-style contest where you will be able to invite your family and friends (and complete strangers) to vote for your pooch in a paw-to-paw match-up on social media.
- Our tournament field is open to 16 pups, so spots are limited.
- Our winner then advances to the international competition!
- Voting for Pooch Playoffs begins in March. Details for voting will be announced closer to the contest.

They are Family
Our fur babies need to be proudly displayed in our homes!
I have heard too many stories of pets unexpectedly passing away and the owners had insufficient photos to remember them by. These animals are a treasure and they are in our lives for such a short amount of time.
After you have applied, we will call and talk you through the process - from an in-person consultation to your pet portrait session, and finally an ordering appointment where we will narrow down to your best image for the competition and decide on any wall art that you would like for your home.
We had a fantastic experience with Kathy Cafazzo Photography during the Pooch Playoffs! She was incredibly patient—not just with our pup but also with incorporating our kids into the shoot. Kathy was professional yet so friendly, making the entire session enjoyable for everyone.
