Custom Pet Portraits, Paintings & Memorials
Don’t you just love the way your pet looks trustingly into your eyes? Does your soul mate and your best friend inspire you to have his portrait painted?
My primary goal is to capture that unique loving bond that you have with your pet, his personality and essence, in a hand painted work of art.
I focus on his unique qualities when painting your pet. Whether your dog soars through the air after a frisbee, is an active herding / agility / flyball dog or just one who loves to lounge around , I capture it all!

Tips to Photographing your dog and having Fun while you are at it.
Capture those moments in pet portraits.
Make it a part of your regular daily routine even if it is for just 5 minutes.
Bring your pet’s favourite toy. Remember the key is to have fun.
Keep the background simple…. uncluttered.
Get close... zoom in (many digital cameras have this feature)
Shoot, shoot, shoot as many pictures as you can. Don’t worry as you can delete what doesn’t work.
Natural indirect light works the best. Turn OFF the auto flash if you remember.
Play around with holding the camera at different angles. You will be surprised at the effects.
Above all else, have fun with your pet. In your backyard, in a nearby park, a walk to the ice cream store. If you are feeling stressed put your camera away, there is always tomorrow. Chances are your pet is feeling stressed too.
My favourite time of shooting is after supper. the light is at it’s best. and everyone’s low key, well fed.
I have a little digital camera that I slide in my pocket so that i can shoot anytime. I may keep only 3 or 5 of the best… delete the rest… there is always tomorrow for more shots.
