For me to create a portrait that both you and I are delighted and thrilled with, I require well lit, in-focus photos with lots of close-up detail.  (The only exception is if the animal has passed on, then I will work with the photos that are available.)

 

Sometimes my clients have a treasured photo that they really love, and I will always try my very best to work from that photo to create a beautiful portrait that's special for you.

 

But where ever possible I prefer to create pet portraits from photos I have taken. I am available for a photo shoot at a reasonable price (please contact me for details of my fees).

​

If I'm not able to photograph your pet myself, I have to rely on the photos that you provide.  However, please realize that the portrait I create will only be as good as the photos I have to work with.

 

To help you to take the best photos of your pet for a portrait, I've created an informative, easy to read tip sheet in a pdf format:

"Tips for Taking Great Photos of Your Pet"
