Please don’t hesitate to get in touch with any questions, or to start your order.
To help me truly bring your pet's unique personality to life, I work directly from your favourite photos. I want to capture every little detail so high quality photos are key!
Please take a look at the quick guide below to see what works best for a custom portrait.
- Eye Level is Best:
Try to take the photo at your pet's eye level rather than looking down at them. This captures their expression beautifully!
- Natural Lighting:
Outdoor light or a bright room near a window works best. Avoid heavy shadows or harsh camera flashes that change their natural fur colour.
- Crisp and Clear:
Send the highest resolution photo you have. If you zoom in on their eyes and its blurry or pixelated, it will be harder for me to catch those fine details.
- True to Life:
Pick a photo where your pet is acting like themselves! If they have a trademark head tilt or a favourite expression, that's the one we want.
Choosing the Perfect Reference Photo
Ideal Image Guide
- Blurry or Out of Focus Photos:
If the photo is fuzzy, I won't be able to see the essential details like texture of the fur, shape of their nose or the sparkle in their eyes.
- Harsh or Bad Lighting:
Photos taken in dim indoor rooms or with not enough natural light hide your pet's true features.
- Too Far Away (Grainy/Pixelated:
If the photo was from a distance and you have to zoom in to see their face, the quality drops instantly.
