Reference Photos for Pet Portraits

I work from reference photos and will kindly request that you supply multiple photos (at least 4). Here are a few tips when choosing photos:

  • Photos need to be clear and in focus - this allows me to see the details

  • Photos taken at eye level are best as they avoid distortion

  • Natural light is preferred — aim for your pet to be lit from the front with the light falling on your pet’s face.

I may request additional photos to help me capture the best likeness.

Pricing

Small ~8”x10” (frames to 11”x14”): $325

Medium ~11”x14” (frames to 16”x20”): $450

  • Larger sizes are available upon request; contact me for pricing.

  • Artwork is provided unframed; if you would like it framed, contact me for pricing.

  • Shipping is additional charge.

What to Expect

Turnaround Time

  • I currently balance my art commissions with a full-time day job, so I appreciate your patience with turnaround time.

  • Each piece is carefully done by hand, and completion time may be several weeks to a few months, depending on my queue.

Artistic Choices

  • My portraits are created in pastel with a focus on realism and character.

  • I may use my judgment on whether or not to include a background.

  • If I do include a background, it is usually plain or softly blended so the focus stays on your pet.
