1. I create "Photo-real art". When selecting a photo, select one that will reflect as much detail as possible or send additional photographs that will help to identify the traits and characteristics of your pet.
2. Most pet owners have a photo of their pet in their favorite pose or special expression. Even if that "favorite photo" is not clear or the colors are not correct, I can work with that pose and pick up detail from other photos. The more pictures I have to work with, the more successful I will be at creating a portrait you will be happy with.
3. Photographs do not always reflect the true colors of your pet and are influenced by a variety of factors including natural light, flash, camera type, camera settings, etc. If you request a portrait in color I will work with you to ensure the colors are accurate.
4. Many times, due to sunlight, flash photography or the animals age, the eyes will appear as white circles in the photography. I can correct the eyes to reflect the shape and color not shown. During the order/consultation process I will review this with you and make necessary corrections based on other photographs and/or your input.
5. If you request a portrait of more than 1 pet or a pet and pet owner, they do not have to be all in the same photograph. I will create the portrait from several photos and aubmit a simple layout/line drawing for your approval.
6. It is acceptable to email a photograph especially if we are working with a tight time frame. However, some photos lose alot of detail in the email process and it still may be necessary to mail photos via regular or express mail.
7. I know how important pet photos are to their owners, especially "that favorite pose". I always return the owner/client all photographs received.

Estimates are free. When in doubt please call or email me and we can discuss your request. I will also accept the photos, review your request, provide you with an estimate and any additional photos/information I might need. Your photos will be returned to you after I complete your portrait or immediately if you elect not to place an order.
