For Gift Givers

The gift for someone who'd rather have their pet on the wall

Buying for a dog person or a cat person? A portrait of their pet beats another mug. It's personal, it's unexpected, and it's the rare gift that ends up framed instead of forgotten.

You don't need their pet in a studio — just 10-15 photos, and most pet owners have hundreds on social media or in a shared album. Not sure how to get them without spoiling the surprise? Email us and we'll suggest a cover story that works. If the photos turn out too limited, we'll tell you before you commit rather than deliver something disappointing.

How do I get their pet's photos without ruining the surprise?

Most people's social feeds are full of them. Saved photos work best; screenshots of still posts are usually fine, though screenshots grabbed from videos rarely are. Or ask a family member to send you a few — we've had plenty of accomplices. Either way you'll see previews before paying, so there's no risk in trying.

What if I'm not sure they'll like the style?

We send watermarked previews before anything is charged, and revisions are unlimited. If it isn't right, you don't pay.

Can it arrive by a specific date?

Digital portraits arrive within 24 hours, so even last-minute works. Canvas prints need about two weeks to be safe — tell us your date and we'll be honest about whether it's doable.
