Pooch Playoffs ~ Pet Portraits ~ Support Prairie Paws Animal Shelter ~ Feb. 8, 22 and March 1 ~

It’s time to celebrate our furry friends and make a difference! Pooch Playoffs is back—our annual, friendly, bracket-style competition to crown the “Ulti-Mutt” Cutie, while benefiting the Prairie Paws Animal Shelter in Manhattan, KS.

How It Works

  • Register: Click the link below to reserve you spot for February 8, 22, or March 1. Pay your $100 reservation fee (which will be fully donated to Prairie Paws). Karen will follow up with a questionnaire and a phone call before your session.

  • Portrait Session: Your beloved pooch will enjoy their very own portrait session, capturing their unique charm and personality. Portraits will be taken at Karen Schroeder Photography Studio.

  • Selection Session: You’ll schedule a time to come to the studio to view your portraits and pick your competition and key chain image.

  • Voting: Once all the selections are made, the bracket competition begins online during March Madness! Rally your friends and family to vote for your pup.

What’s Included:
🐾 A custom keychain featuring your favorite portrait of your pet.
🐾 A S’Wag Bag filled with goodies for you and your pooch.

Make a Bigger Impact
Love your pooch’s portraits? You’ll have the opportunity to purchase custom artwork. Plus, 10% of all artwork sales will go directly to Prairie Paws, helping more animals find loving homes.

Support the Shelter. Celebrate Your Pet. Have Fun.

About Prairie Paws Animal Shelter

Based out of Ottawa, Kansas, Prairie Paws entered a partnership with the City of Manhattan to administer the 12,000 square-foot facility formerly known as the T. Russell Reitz Animal Shelter. You can learn more about Prairie Paws and see what animals are available for adoption on their website.


As a mom of two pups and a kitty, I know how special they can be. I also know what it's like when they are no longer with us! I love seeing the portraits I've made of our family pets over the years.

As a portrait photographer, I not only capture humans, but also your furry family members.

We’ll schedule a 15-20 minute phone consultation where we’ll talk all about your Pooch and I’ll fill you in on what to expect for your Pooch Playoffs portrait session.

Thank you for supporting Prairie Paws!

Photographing your furry family members to give you artwork you will treasure for a lifetime
