Get Started
Not sure where to start? The first step to a great Portrait is to send me a great photo!
I will need one main reference photo, and if possible, extra photos to help with lighting and detail.

Great Photo Quality = Great Pet Portrait
Here are some tips to help you pick (or take) great reference photos!
1) Natural Lighting. Outdoors if possible; avoid dimly lit or flash photos.
2) Face-On. Most clients prefer a full-on view of their pet. Show both eyes!
3) Get down on their level. Take photos at your pet’s eye level, not looking down at them.
4) Get close. Fill the camera frame. Photos taken from far away often don’t have sharp enough resolution.
5) Be patient! Snapping or finding the perfect photo of your pet takes time!

How to Order Your Pet Portrait
Pick your favorite photo of your pet- show their personality!
Place your order and tell me your story
I’ll draw and ship your custom portrait to your door!
Ordering is easy—I’ll guide you through each step. I invite you to share your dog’s story and the little details that make them unique, because that’s what turns a portrait into a lasting memory.
After ordering, send a photo of your dog in the pose you’d like drawn (plus a few extras if you have them). You can email or text me using the contact info on your receipt. If I don’t hear from you within a day, I’ll follow up.

After you place your Order
I review every order personally and add it to my schedule when I receive it. My turnaround time varies —ask in the question section of your order form if you need a current estimate or if you’d like to request a rush order. If you want to ask if I can rush an order before you place it, reach out to me using my Contact Form.
Christmas orders: Order by October 1st to be safe. Once my holiday schedule is full, new orders are scheduled for January.
