Sharp eyes matter more than a perfect pose. If you can see the little reflection of light in their eyes, we can paint the look you know so well.
Daylight is kind to fur. A photo near a window shows the true colour of the coat; flash flattens markings and can turn eyes green or white.
Crouch down. Taken from their eye level, faces keep their real proportions and the portrait feels like they are looking back at you.
Send a few, not one. One clear face photo for the likeness, plus a couple of everyday snaps so we understand the ear that never stands up or the patch over one eye.
Old photos are welcome. If you are remembering a pet who has passed, send what you have. We will tell you honestly what is possible before we start.
