Kindly provide clear images of the animal’s head and body, preferably taken in natural sunlight. You can take these pictures indoors near a window or outside in a shaded area. It is essential to be satisfied with the image quality since it will determine the final portrait’s outcome. You can send as many photos as you wish, and I will help you select the most suitable ones for the portrait. I understand that sometimes photo opportunities may be limited, so I will try to work with lesser quality pictures where possible. Below are some tips to help you take the best possible photos:

  • Avoid direct sunlight, as natural daylight works best.

  • Take the photo at eye level, which may involve kneeling down to get to their level.

  • The eyes are crucial in capturing the pet’s personality. Ensure that they are open and catching the light.

  • Please send your pictures in their original format, without cropping or editing, to maintain the image’s size, resolution, and quality.

  • A high-quality photo will enable me to capture every fine detail that makes your pet unique. I am unable to work with blurry or low-quality photographs.
