Our Services

A SnapShot of Our Work

  • "Helping Hands Garage" TV Show Poster (Speedvision)

    We produced a full suite of visual content for Speedvision’s Helping Hands Garage, including social media content, behind-the-scenes videos, and high-end promotional photography. Our work was also used to create the official poster for the national TV show. Whether you're a small local business or a major brand, we can bring your story to life with professional visuals that get attention.

  • Owners of Local General Contracting Company

    We produced all the photo and video content for this successful general contracting company based in Pinellas County, Florida. From website visuals to branded marketing assets, every piece was crafted to reflect their professionalism, trustworthiness, and quality craftsmanship. Your business deserves content that builds credibility and drives growth, this is what we do best.

  • National Corporate Event – Tampa Bay, FL

    We were honored to capture this large-scale corporate event for a national events company right here in Tampa Bay. Beyond the event coverage, we created high-impact video and photo content tailored for their internal sales presentations, pitch decks, and other key marketing assets. One video alone helped their team close deals faster, producing a 700% return before it was even published publicly. That’s the power of strategic content.

  • Lap of Love Veterinary Hospice

    Back in 2012, before social media became what it is today, we produced a series of heartfelt marketing videos for Lap of Love Veterinary Hospice, featuring the company’s two founders. These videos were used across their website and YouTube, helping build trust with clients and support their rapid growth. Today, Lap of Love is a nationally recognized brand, and we’re proud to have played a small part in that journey.

  • Restaurants, Bars & Hospitality Brands

    From eye-catching Google Business photos to high-energy event coverage and social media ads, Kathman Studios has created compelling content for restaurants and bars across Florida and Texas. With a background rooted in the industry, founder Dan Kathman grew up with a father in the restaurant business, we understand the unique challenges, profit margins, and fast-paced needs of hospitality. That’s why we focus on what works: visuals that drive foot traffic, boost online presence, and help your business grow.

  • Besnard Insurance – National Account

    As one of our major national clients, Besnard Insurance trusted us to create both promotional and internal content for their company. Serving high-profile franchises like McDonald’s, Taco Bell, and Golden Corral throughout Florida, they needed top-tier visuals to match their scale. We produced all internal training videos for over 700 McDonald’s locations, along with branded content to support their marketing and communication efforts. When clarity and consistency matter across hundreds of locations, we deliver.

  • High-End Business Headshots

    Since 2016, Kathman Studios has been the #1 recommended choice for business headshots by top real estate companies and professionals. Now based in Clearwater, FL, our high-end headshots have appeared on billboards, websites, and marketing materials across the country. Trusted by industry leaders, and unlike AI, we’re actually real, make you look great, and capture the real you at your best.

  • MotorTrend’s "All Girls Garage"

    For over five years, we had the pleasure of producing all the photo and video content for Discovery’s MotorTrend TV show All Girls Garage. From behind-the-scenes to social media and promotional visuals, we helped shape the show's visual identity across platforms. In total, our team worked on five different MotorTrend shows, delivering professional, brand-consistent content that fueled engagement and fan loyalty.

Helping Businesses Since 2009

Kathman Studios began in a college dorm room when founder Dan Kathman took out a student loan—not for classes, but to start his first business. While studying at the University of South Florida, he began creating videos for student organizations and campus events. That quickly led to promotional work for local plays, small businesses, and community events.

From those roots, the company grew to serve national brands, produce content for five televised shows, and expand into real estate media and branded content across Texas and Florida.

Today, Kathman Studios is a full-service content and social media agency based in Clearwater, FL—helping small businesses grow with monthly photo, video, and marketing strategy. With our own studio space and a streamlined team, we deliver premium, done-for-you content and digital visibility to brands that want to look big and grow fast.

Sixteen years in, and we still feel like we’re just getting started.
