Photo Guidelines

The most important part of your order is the quality of the photo you upload.
Tips to help you get a great photo for your pet portrait:


1. LIGHTING: The best photos are taken in well lit or natural light settings. Ensure the whole face & neck is visible and not in shadows. Try to avoid bad lighting.

2. POSE: Take your pet photo at eye level with your pet. Make sure your pet's entire head is in picture (no ears are out of frame). It works best if your pet is looking directly at the camera or looking away from the camera.

3. QUALITY: Make sure that your photos are in high resolution and not blurry. Close up photos work best so we can see their unique facial features.

4. COLOR: Use color photos to place an order. Make sure that your pet’s coloring  is not distorted in the photos.
