What if your dog’s portrait did more than look cute?

Pooch Playoffs is a once in a year experience where local dogs compete, give back, and create artwork they'll keep forever.

And yes — it supports an incredible cause.

Pets are part of our story.

They’re there for the everyday moments —
and the ones we never forget.

And yet, so often, their photos live on our phones…

not on our walls.

Pooch Playoffs was created
to change that — by celebrating the bond we share with our dogs and turning it into artwork that lasts.

"Because some relationships deserve more than a camera roll."

This is the first Pooch Playoffs.

You may have heard of Pooch Playoffs in other towns — this fun, meaningful celebration of dogs has become a favorite in communities across the country.

We're bringing that spirits here because dogs deserve more than just snapshots; they deserve moments meant to be remembered.

This version of Pooch Playoffs is intentionally local — designed for community, your neighbors, and the dogs we all love.

Hello! I'm Andria, the photographer behind Andria May Photography. I specialize in family and senior portraits, and in 2026, I'm excited to officially welcome dog photography into my work here in Gilbert, Arizona.

I am a boutique photographer who believes your photographs are meant to live beyond your camera roll and onto your walls. The images we choose to display in our homes become a part of our family's story, a daily reminder of what matters most.

Like many families, dogs have become an important part of my life. My dog Ruby (Our adorable Boston Terrier) is never far by my side. She's my shadow and constant companion, and a reminder of how deeply our pets weave themselves into our everyday lives and our memories.
