How to get your own pet portrait

A good, high quality photo where the light shows your pet in their true colouring. If your reference photo has been taken by a professional photographer you will need permission from the photographer for me to use it.

How does payment work?

A 50% deposit at the time of booking, secures your portrait slot. Then the remaining 50% upon completion. I am happy to offer a scheduled payment plan if that would work better for you, just ask when booking.

Can you use 2 different photos for a double portrait / Can you paint my pets together if the photos were taken separately?

Yes. Your pets don't need to be posed or photographed together for me to replicate them in art. I can put together a piece using multiple photos and make them look as if they have been posed together.
How should I frame my portrait when I receive it?
I would highly recommend visiting a professional framer and asking their advice on this, as they will be able to guide you in the best method of framing to compliment the piece.
Can I get my deposit back if I change my mind?
No — deposits are non-refundable because I reserve that time for your project and decline other work.
