Book A Portrait
The Whole Process in More Detail
The best place to start is to send me your initial enquiry by completing a booking form.
We can then discuss your pet photo options and see which of your favourites you might like to use for your portrait.
Don't worry if you are unsure. Feel free to send me several examples of your photos, then I can advise on which may be more suitable for the portrait.
If your pet has sadly passed away and you only have a limited amount of photos to choose from, please contact me to discuss your options. In some circumstances, it may be possible for me to combine 2 or 3 reference photos to create your final portrait image.
For more information on what makes a good reference photo,
please see the photo tips link at the bottom of this page.
Once I’ve received your booking form, I can then provide you with a price
for any additional custom requirements such as a detailed background image.
I will then be able to give you more information regarding timescales, an estimated completion date or if I can accommodate certain dates for birthday gifts etc.
I'm currently aiming to complete portraits within 4 weeks from the booking
date, but my waiting list times can vary throughout the year.
Availability can be limited during busy periods leading up to Mothers Day,
Fathers Day and Christmas.
When you are happy to proceed, I will then email you a payment link for the 50% deposit.
At this point your place is then confirmed on my waiting list.
I will update you when I’m starting the portrait and also send you progress photos throughout the drawing process if requested.
Once completed and you're happy with the photos of your finished portrait, the remaining balance and postage cost will then be requested.
Postage to anywhere in the UK is £10.00 which includes next day tracked delivery.
Your portrait will then be posted to you in a sturdy box which will be well protected to avoid any damage during transit.
I also include a white picture mount with the portrait, all ready for you to place into your own frame when you receive your delivery.
For any other booking queries, please feel free to contact me.
