2026 Pooch playoffs have ended for this year - check back in
Portraits with a Purpose
At Studio 47 Portraits, we believe photographs should do more than hang on a wall. They should tell a story, build connection, and give back to the community we love. While we are still finalizing the perfect charity partnership, we’re excited to share what’s ahead.
Pooch Playoffs is a fun, heart-filled dog photography competition that celebrates your pup’s unique personality while making a meaningful impact. When you participate, a portion of the proceeds will be donated directly to a Mon Valley Paws whose mission—and heart—is centered around animal rescues.
And we have out 20026 winner!
