Pet Portraits

My first dog portrait honored Sophie, the sweet rescue pup my family adopted in 2021. Since then, I have had the privilege of capturing the personalities of my clients’ “fur babies.” Each portrait is a celebration of the joy, companionship and unconditional love our pets bring into our lives.

Crafted with love; made to last

I paint each portrait on 100% cotton 140 lb watercolor paper using professional watercolor paints with excellent lightfastness ratings. Pieces come unframed, allowing you to style the piece to fit your space.

Reference Photo Examples

  • A white and brown dog lying on a sofa in the shadows.

    Not ideal

    The lighting is dark and uneven. The pose is awkward and the pet’s face is not clearly visible.

  • A small white and brown dog leaping with its tongue sticking out.

    Not ideal

    The lighting and resolution are good, but the pose is a little awkward (unless this is the desired pose for the portrait).

  • A well-lit headshot of a white and brown dog with a purple collar.

    Ideal reference photo

    Fabulous! The photo is clear and well-lit, the pose is ideal and the pet’s face is clearly visible.
