I will be creating your pet’s portrait using reference photo(s) provided by you.
Please make sure your photos have:
-High resolution, in focus with a desirable pose and facial expression.
-Send multiple photos if you can. This helps me see your pet’s fur and eyes from different angles and lighting.
-Photograph(s) must have good lighting without harsh shadows or contrasting light. A dark or filtered photo makes it difficult to see your pet’s unique details.

You have the option to Add-On products to your portrait! For example: high quality vinyl stickers, digital download for personal use only. Want a mug or sweatshirt with your pet’s face? Let me know and I can get you a price quote!

All portraits will be shipped as a flat paper packaged in rigid foam board. Shipping costs depend on size of the package. Typically, shipping costs start around $5 for the smaller portraits and up to $15+ for larger portraits via USPS. Ask for a shipping quote if there is a different provider you prefer, otherwise I will use USPS.

Each custom pet portrait is painted on the highest quality French hot pressed paper. It is a thick and sturdy 300lb paper in natural white. Portraits do not include matting or frames.

Due to the nature of custom art, these portraits cannot be returned or refunded. Please contact me directly if you feel there is an issue. A photograph of the completed portrait will be sent via email for approval prior to shipping.

Once delivered, your portrait is ready to be framed! Each painting is sealed with a wax protectant. This helps to keep moisture and dust from damaging the painting’s surface. I recommend that each portrait is professionally framed behind UV resistant glass for painting longevity. Exposure to direct sunlight can cause paints to fade over time. I use professional grade paints with high lightfastness grades but they still need protected.
