Photo Guidelines
Eye-level, face-on photos are the key to nailing the portrait style.
Your photo is the most important part of the process! Here are some guidelines to follow when choosing or taking a photo for your pet portrait:
- Use a high-quality photo taken with a camera or smart phone.
- Make sure your pet is well-lit in the photo. We don’t want to miss any details!
- Use an unfiltered photo so we can capture your pet’s true colors.
- Make sure your pet’s face and neck are visible.
- Your photo should feature your pet at eye-level, sitting up.
