Do you think you have the Ulti-Mutt Cutie? We're going to find out while raising money for Humane Society of North Iowa!

Pooch Playoffs is a pet portrait competition. Michelle Skarpness Photography donates the proceeds to Humane Society of North Iowa, our local animal shelter.

1. Apply to Join the Bracket Click the link below to apply. Because we only have 16 spots, we want to make sure your pup is a perfect fit for the competition!

2. After you apply, you'll be prompted to grab a 15-minute spot on my calendar. This is a quick phone call where we can chat about your pup's rescue story, finalize your session date, and plan your image goals.

3.  Bring your pup to our boutique studio for their high-energy, fun-filled portrait session. We’ll capture that specific "look" that makes them a contender for the "Ulti-Mutt Cutie" title!

4. After the session, we’ll meet for your ordering appointment. This is the best part! You’ll see your pup's portraits in a beautiful presentation, choose your favorite for the April madness bracket/keychain, and we can design custom art or book features for your home.
