I accept commissions on a first-come, first-served basis. Once your purchase is complete, I will need photos of your pet. Two to three photos are recommended, but the more, the better! Providing multiple photos is ideal, as it helps me accurately capture your pet's unique personality and characteristics. Clear, well-lit photos are essential for the best result. These photos will serve as references for creating your pet's portrait. Once I have your photos, we can discuss all the wonderful ideas you have for your custom wool art piece.
* Please note, I cannot use professionally taken photos unless you own the rights or have written permission from the photographer. Please confirm you own the rights to reproduce it.
Each portrait is a one-of-a-kind creation, and I aim to reflect your pet's personality and expressions through the photos you provide. After completing the portrait, I will send you a picture of the final product for your review before it is shipped.
Disclaimer: My work is an artistic interpretation of the provided images. While I will replicate the photo to the best of my abilities, the nature of this art form means that some variation may occur. Once you review the final artwork, one change is allowed.

To ensure your pet’s portrait captures their unique charm and personality, selecting the right photos is crucial. Here are some guidelines to help you choose the best photos:
Select at least one clear photo: Choose a single photo that will serve as the basis for the portrait where you can clearly see your dog eyes and main features.
Natural Lighting: Photos taken in natural light, especially sunlight, best capture your pet’s true colors.
Avoid Harsh Lighting: Steer clear of photos with very bright (overexposed) light or too dark or with harsh shadows.
High-Quality Images: Ensure the photo is sharp and free from blurriness to highlight all the details.
Focus on Details: A crisp photo with all of your pet’s features in focus is essential for capturing their personality.
Eye-Level Shots: Photos taken at your pet’s eye level are ideal. Stay away from images taken from above or below.
