Every member of the family deserves a place on the wall.
The question has been asked- How did you come up with this ? The answer goes back to the fact that our basset hounds didn't really appreciate being dressed up for a Thanskgiving photo (Mr. & Mrs. Pilgrim- yes, with the top hat). Since that time I've wanted to showcase them in a unique way that fits their individual personalities. So the idea was born and a process created to make it happen without the animal having to be in discomfort- or costumes ruined.
Each pet portrait is a joy to create as I know the person receiving it really cares about the animal & wants their friend creatively portrayed.
If you have any questions or would like to discuss a portrait, please feel free to contact me.
I look forward to creating a custom pet portrait for you.
