FAQ
Everything you need to know about commissioning a portrait, from ordering and revisions to printing and delivery

Ordering an Essential Portrait
An Essential Portrait includes a portrait of one pet with a simple background, and delivery as a high-res download. Just fill out the order form, upload your photo(s), and check out via PayPal. With PayPal, you also have options to pay with Venmo, Apple Pay and credit cards. When I receive your order I'll respond within one business day to confirm.
Your Donation
For every Essential Portrait purchase at $150, I will donate $20 to a worthy cause of your choice. There is a field on the Order Form where you can choose the organization you'd like to support.
Ordering an Heirloom Portrait
If you'd like a more personalized portrait—with additional subjects, custom backgrounds, artwork designed to complement your décor, or branding applications—begin with the Heirloom Portraits order form. Choose your options, upload your photo(s) and write a brief or detailed description of what you have in mind. I'll email you to discuss the details. Once we come to an agreement on the art and the price, I'll send you a PayPal invoice.
Uploading your photos
Photos with sharp focus, adequate lighting and a good angle are the ideal. If I foresee any difficulties with your photos, I'll work with you to find a good solution, such as using a less detailed style or shooting new photos.

How long does it take?
An Essential Portrait usually takes less than a week. If I have a backlog of commissions, I will give you an estimated completion date when I confirm your order. If you need it faster, rush scheduling may be available upon request.
For Heirloom Portraits, my time to complete will depend on the amount of work involved. After we discuss and agree on the particulars, I'll send you an invoice with the price and an estimated time to create the piece, including initial layout, finished art and potential revisions. If you're also ordering prints, you can expect an additional week or so for the printer to complete and ship your order.
Printing Options
Prints are available on fine art paper and gallery-wrapped canvas in a range of standard sizes. When you order, you can choose image proportions (portrait, landscape or square) and a print size. See the size and price guide here.
Also available are extra large prints and wall murals. Select options on the order form, and I'll email you with the details.
