Where Comfort, Care, and Connection Meet

$125 session fee

Includes a $100 donation to Prevent A Litter (PAL), one 5×7" fine art print, and a matching high-resolution digital file printable up to 10 inches.

This limited-edition winter fundraiser invites you and your dog into a relaxed, indoor studio experience designed entirely with pets in mind. Sessions take place in a calm, cozy space with two distinct studio vibes, each offering its own timeless look.

Sessions are unhurried and pet-led. Dogs are free to settle in, explore, and show up exactly as they are. No pressure for perfect behavior. Just patience, treats, and a whole lot of heart.

Each session includes:

A relaxed studio portrait session in one of two cozy studio vibes
One professionally finished 5×7" print
A matching high-resolution digital file, printable up to 10 inches
A $100 donation to PAL supporting spay and neuter services
A custom Facebook timeline cover featuring your dog’s portrait

Additional artwork and keepsakes will be available after your session. There’s absolutely no pressure to purchase more. If you fall in love with a favorite image (or a few), beautiful artwork options will be available, with wall art starting at $495.

This is a simple, meaningful way to create artwork you’ll treasure—while knowing your dog helped make a real difference, just by being their wonderful self.

Why This Fundraiser Matters

Prevent A Litter (PAL) has been quietly doing vital work across Oregon for decades. Their spay and neuter programs help reduce unwanted litters, ease the strain on shelters, and support healthier futures for pets across our communities.

This fundraiser brings together what I love most: creating meaningful artwork and supporting organizations that make a lasting difference for animals.

Two Studio Vibes. Same Calm Experience.

Curious which one fits your dog? Scroll down for the quiz.

For Paws in the Studio 2026, you’ll choose between two carefully designed studio looks. The experience stays the same: relaxed, pet-led, and unhurried. The energy is what changes.

Each Paws in the Studio session takes place in one of two cozy studio settings, each with its own personality and mood.

The Painterly Garden

Dreamy, romantic, and soft around the edges.

The Painterly Garden is perfect for dogs with gentle expressions, soulful eyes, or a quieter presence. This look leans into timeless artwork with subtle texture and a painterly feel, creating portraits that feel classic and emotive.

This vibe is often a great fit for:

Softies, romantics, and old souls
Dogs who whisper rather than shout
Anyone who loves artwork that feels timeless and serene

The Blue Room

Bold, graphic, and confidently modern.

The Blue Room is for dogs with presence. Strong lines, rich color, and a clean, contemporary feel allow personality to shine front and center. If your dog has opinions, swagger, or a knack for stealing the spotlight, this may be their moment.

This vibe is often a great fit for:

Confident pups and expressive characters
Dogs with a little attitude (the good kind)
Anyone who loves statement artwork with a modern edge

No matter which vibe you choose, your dog’s comfort leads the way. You don’t need to decide everything ahead of time. We’ll guide you when you arrive and let your dog show us who they are.

Mostly C or D? The Painterly Garden could be their place.

If your dog feels soft, soulful, warm, or gently expressive, they may belong in the Painterly Garden.

This look leans into warmth, texture, and painterly depth—ideal for dogs who glow in rich tones and timeless artwork.

Same Calm Experience. Different Seasons.

No matter where your dog lands, the experience stays the same: relaxed, pet-led, and unhurried.

And if your dog insists they’re every season at once?
That’s allowed too.
