Your photos

Lovingly Hand Painted
Risk Free Deposit

Your portrait is painted or drawn by a professional portrait artist, based on one of your favourite photos. We don’t use digital processes or photoshop. Your custom portrait is much more than copying a photo – we capture personality in a handmade painting or drawing.

What makes a good pet photo? Outdoor photos taken in natural light, which show your pets eye colour and coat colour. The examples below are taken using a phone. Get your pet to look at you and take a photo at the same level as they are. Don’t use any filters as these tend to blur key parts of the fur and detail. We recommend a 1MB+ file size, possible from most phones. Upload your favourite photo when you order or send several and leave the choice to us. Or send us your favourite photo for quick advice before you order.

More than one pet? We can combine up to 3 subjects from different photos and include them together on one portrait. We’ll send you a composition sketch to approve.
