Step 4: Choose Your Perfect Photo

Now that you are on my waiting list you have some time to choose the perfect picture if you haven’t done so already. Check out my photo guide to help you choose or email me as many pictures as you like and I can help you.

Reference Photo vs Drawing

How to choose the perfect picture of your pet for a pet portrait commission:

When looking through your pictures and albums of your loved ones and pets, or taking a new picture yourself, there are a few key things to consider:

  1. Good Lighting – is your picture light enough to see your pet?

  2. True eye colour – does the picture show the true eye colour of your pet?

  3. True fur colour – does the picture show the true fur colour of your pet?

  4. Visible fur direction – can you see the fur in detail?

  5. A good distance from the camera – is your pet too far away and hard to see?

Capturing Personality - try photographing them doing something they love, you know them best!

Pets That Have Passed Away - If your pet has sadly passed away and you only have a few photos, that’s absolutely fine. Send me what you have, and we’ll go through them together to create a meaningful portrait.

Multiple Pets On One Page

Want a portrait of all your pets together but don’t have a group photo? No problem! I can combine separate photos into one beautiful ‘family portrait.’

You can choose a full-body layout or a more classic head-and-neck style. If you’re unsure which photos to use, just get in touch, I’ll help you pick the best ones.

  • “My daughter loves to dress her up, she has loads of outfits!. She absolutely loves it & was very surprised when she opened it.”

    Malindi, AUS

  • “Sema’s portrait of my dear Punkin and Smitten blew me away! Her attention to detail made it so life-like, I have received so many compliments. “

    Leanne, USA

Step 5: Watching Your Portrait Come To Life

I will email you just before I start your portrait so you can watch the progress on my
Facebook Page and Instagram Page .

  • “Omg ..... this made me emotional! I LOVE IT! My amazing beautiful boy you have captured his loving heart he is so special."

    Debbie, UK

  • “They both look perfect and delighted with the end product. Thank you very much. They will hang in style in our dog portrait gallery. Thanks very much.”

    Allan, UK

Step 6: Give The Final Approval

Once you're happy with the finished portrait, I’ll mount it, pack it securely, and send it to you.

Mounting/ Matting

All portraits come with a high-quality double white mount as standard. The mount is 100% acid-free and cut at a 45-degree bevel to enhance depth and protect your portrait long-term. If you'd prefer a different colour, just let me know and I’ll send you mock-ups to choose from.

Framing

If you'd like your portrait framed and ready to hang, I offer professional framing for an extra charge. It’s a popular choice, especially if you want to save time and have it arrive finished.

I use UV-protective Plexiglass to keep your portrait safe and looking its best for years. If you have a colour or frame style in mind, just let me know, I can send you mock-ups to choose from.

  • "Wonderful work such a beautiful tribute Sema to a furbaby lost too soon. "

    Kayla, AUS

  • “My wife and I want to thank you again for an amazing job you did with the portrait of our 2 boys, Leo & Max. To our amazement and joy, you have really captured their likeness and personalities!"

    Mike & Dawn, USA

Step 7: Packing & Delivery

Once the portrait is packed and weighed you will then be invoiced for delivery. Delivery can take 3 to 5 working days depending on your country and will be fully tracked with UPS.

  • "Omg , my jaw literally dropped incredible"

    Josh, USA

  • “She was super happy with it! She was really impressed with how accurate the white spot on his chest and paws matched his. And the detail up close is also very nice, the whiskers and fluffy fur. ”

Step 8: Leave A Review

The best part of my job is hearing from you! When you have safely received your portrait, let me know what you think!

  • “Thank you so much, Sema!! I love your portrait. The best gift ever!”

    Hirmoi - Japan

  • “I am thrilled with the beautiful custom portrait Sema did of my German Shepherd girl, Tori. As a professional watercolour artist, I am attracted to high caliber artists who demonstrate professionalism and care in their work. As a pastel and coloured pencil artist, Sema's work stands out."
