How do I send you pictures for a pet portrait?

Once you've filled out the commission order form I will contact you via text where you can send all the reference photos your heart desires!

How many pets can I have in one portrait?

Payments above $400 can be made in installments: 50% upfront at booking and 50% upon completion before it is shipped.

How long will it take to receive my custom portrait?

Depending on the orders placed before you, the time can vary.

This will be communicated during the entire process and you will be provided a tracking number, so you will always be up to date.
