Whose dog is the Ulti-Cutie of SE MI to NW Oh? Let's settle this once and for all.

Pooch Playoffs has brought SE Michigan's dog-loving community together for the past 6 years, to raise funds for local rescues & non-profits, with a curated, bracket-style portrait experience! This is a trademarked event that a special group of photographers do each year, bringing the highest quality service and experience to pet parents all across the US & Canada. And giving back to their community.

Your furbulous pup deserves more than just a cute pic. Your dog's story deserves to be remembered. They are a member of your family, not extra. They are the ones that love you unconditionally, stay by your side when you are struggling, and get you moving because we need it. They deserve so much more than a pic on your phone, they deserve to be a part of your homes walls. A place of honor & remembrance to you and your bond. Pooch Playoffs was created to celebrate the bond between human and animal, so we do that with you.

  1. Register Your Pup

Complete the Pooch Playoffs registration form below to reserve your place.

      2. Quick Discovery Call

A brief phone call to learn about your dog(s) personality and ensure Pooch Playoffs is the right fit for your pup(s).

      3.   Personalized Consultation

This is where we design your dogs portrait session and discuss how your dogs portraits will be displayed in your home. This may be done in your home to get to know your dog(s), but can be done in the studio. With time constraints of the event, we may go with a zoom call as a last resort.

  4. Custom Portrait Experience

We have a relaxed, fun, stress-free guided session designed around your dog's personality and comfort level.

  5. In-Person Ordering Appointment

In a couple of weeks we'll meet back at the studio to view your portraits together, and I'll guyed you in selecting the artwork that best fits your home.


Hello, I'm Lisa Kahler, the photographer and business owner behind Kaptured by Lisa Kahler Photography. I am a certified boutique photographer, which means I specialize in creating beautiful, heirloom quality artwork to live on your walls. There is an assurance of exceptional portrait artistry in what I do. Portrait art pieces that remind you of a wonderful time with the most important people & pets in your life. I have a passion for treating photography as what it is; Art. I am an award winning photographer who takes pride in giving impeccable attention to detail, from my years of photography experience & knowledge. As well as a passion for crafting experiences for my clients that will be remembered forever! I specialize in Pet, Family and HS Senior portraits and have been in business 15 years.

Like many families, dogs have been an intergal  part of my life for nearly 20 years. Between rescue work, fostering, and adoption, I have seen most of the parts that rescue organizations have to handle. I had 4 rescue dogs when I first moved to Michigan and now I am down to one sweet ole girl named Sunshine (because she always lit up a room when she walked in) who recently turned 17.

This year we have changed it up a bit, instead of us picking the non-profit that the funds will go to, we are leaving it all up to YOU! We have raised funds for so many different organizations over the years, and they all need it. But so do so many more than what we have touched. So, this time we have a "RESCUE RUMBLE" where each participant gets to pick where their donation goes. Do you like HSHV, LHS, House of Hounds, Detroit Pit Crew, Detroit Dog Rescue, Friends of Michigan, Mickey and Me, Monroe HS, Toledo Pit Crew or someone else? You let us know and they become part of the event!
