Our Story

Responsive image

Fifteen years ago, Gallery Paws founders, Katrina and Mom, learned to manipulate photographs digitally. They used their skills mostly to make humorous photos for family and to participate in online contests. Word spread and soon family friends and coworkers were requesting pet portraits.

Gallery Paws is based in Maryland, where we and our talented furry staff reside.

Don't let his perpetually sad eyes fool you, he is a big guy and good at intimidation. When he's not putting people in their place, he can be found sitting in his favorite shoe box.
