Snack-loving dogs wanted for an upcoming art exhibit!

Catch Me if You Canine

This playful series captures the hilarious expressions dogs make while catching treats mid-air. The final portraits will be professionally printed and displayed at South of Shaw Beer Company during the month of August 2025.

Let Your Pup Be Part of Something Special

Why Join this Project?

Because your dog is hilarious, expressive, and undeniably snack motivated—and we want to capture that joy on camera. This is more than a photoshoot—it’s a chance to be featured in a one-of-a-kind art exhibit at a local brewery that loves dogs just as much as you do.

Treats will fly, tongues will loll, and the resulting portraits will be both ridiculous and frame-worthy.

hey there! I’m Val

I’m Pet Obsessed- Just like you.

As a proud dog mom, I know the unconditional love and joy our pets bring into our lives. My goal is to capture that joy so it lasts long after they're gone.

Outside of pet photography, I’m also a School Psychologist—so basically, I spend my days supporting students and my weekends convincing dogs to make ridiculous faces for the camera. It turns out both roles have something in common: connection, comfort, and a whole lot of heart.

That’s why I believe dog photos aren’t just cute—they’re emotional time capsules. They capture joy, love, and personality in a single frame. And I’m here to help you freeze those moments before your pup eats the prop.
