Your pet deserves a masterpiece—start with the right photo!
Share
Losing a beloved pet is heartbreaking. But even if your furry friend is still by your side, capturing their spirit in a custom portrait is one of the most meaningful gifts you can give yourself—or another pet parent.
However, not all photos are created equal. A blurry, poorly lit, or distant snapshot can limit what our artists can do. The good news? You don’t need a professional camera—just a few simple tips!
✅ What Makes a GREAT Pet Photo?
-
Clear Face & Eyes
Make sure your pet’s eyes are open and visible. The eyes are the soul of the portrait! -
Good Lighting (Natural is Best!)
Shoot near a window during the day. Avoid harsh shadows or direct flash. -
Close-Up Shot
Fill at least 50% of the frame with your pet’s head and shoulders. -
Front or Slight Angle View
Avoid extreme side profiles—they make it hard to capture facial symmetry. -
One Pet Per Photo
If ordering a multi-pet portrait, upload separate clear photos of each animal.
❌ Common Mistakes to Avoid:
- Blurry motion shots (e.g., running in the park)
- Photos taken through glass or screens
- Heavy filters or over-edited Instagram pics
- Group photos where your pet is tiny in the background
