Once you've placed your order, you'll immediately receive a confirmation email. You're welcome to reply directly to that email with your pet photos.

Please provide 2–3 well-lit images taken from the chest up, this is the ideal format for capturing your pet’s likeness. If those types of photos aren't available, don't worry! I can often work with what you have. Once your images are received, I’ll reply to confirm they work or let you know if we need more.

From there, we’ll use our email thread to discuss portrait details, colors, and any custom touches!

Sit back and wait as I meticulously craft the mockup design for your portrait. This is the most time-consuming stage, as each piece takes anywhere from 1 to 3 weeks to design. Every pet is unique, and I take care to capture their essence with precision.

Once your mockup is ready, I’ll email it to you for review. Only once you explicitly approve the design in our email thread will I begin creating the physical artwork.

This stage includes hand painting the digital print to blend into the acrylic canvas, layering high-quality resin for depth and shine, and (if it’s a collar display portrait) carefully hand-drilling the canvas to install the collar holder holes. Every detail is crafted with care to ensure your final piece is something truly special.

Here are some tips to help you can get a great photo, right from your smart phone.

1. Get a close up of your subject, this way we can better see the details.
​
2. Get on their level! Crouch down when taking the photo! 
​
3. The best poses are when your pet is either sitting or standing.
​
4. Light is so important when it comes to a good photo. Outdoor daylight is always the best option!
