Examples from our studio
Plenty of pets look ridiculous dressed up. Highland dress gets away with it on a rough-coated dog and gets a laugh on a neat small one. This is a straight portrait of your pet and a joke in one: a highland pet portrait in cool greys, greens and blues, which suits a room in cool colours. As a gift it suits someone who walks the hills. The dress is invented, given an oil-painting look.
Shoot in daylight with no flash, camera at your pet's eye level, the whole head in frame. A phone photo works. The style page suggests an oak look frame, and you can change it to black or white. On framed prints the white mount is the border inside the frame, and without it the portrait fills the frame.
Load one photo and your pet appears in this outfit in under a minute, before you pay. The preview opens on a close-up of the whole portrait, and an On the wall view shows it in a room. Your pet's name goes on free, with an optional second line. A designer checks every portrait before it prints.

2. Add one photo

4. Proof, then print
A designer reviews your portrait for print quality, you approve a proof before anything goes to press, and it is printed in Australia.
Is the tartan a real clan pattern?
No. The tartan is invented for this style and belongs to no clan, so your pet is not wearing another family's pattern. The misty glen under storm cloud behind them is invented as well. The costume follows the shape of Highland dress from a past era, and the finished portrait is printed in an oil-painting look rather than a photographic one.
Does the bonnet cover my pet's ears?
No. The dark blue wool bonnet sits back on the head with its red pompom behind, so both ears stay out and visible. In this highland dog portrait the ears sit free of the wool, with a white shirt, a black neckerchief and a grey tweed jacket below.
Which frame suits a highland dog portrait?
The style page suggests an oak look frame, and you can change it to black or white before you order. On a framed print the white mount is optional, a white border between the picture and the frame. Choose no mount and the portrait runs edge to edge. Canvas and art prints do not take a mount.
Can one portrait have two pets, or me with my pet?
One portrait holds up to three pets, or you with your pet, one pet with one or two people, or two pets with one person. Add one photo per pet and per person, and a selfie is fine. With a person in the portrait, one photo of everyone together also works, and you confirm you hold the rights to the photos. Separate photos come out side by side, close together, nobody hugging or holding. No extra cost. A few styles stop at two pets, shown on the style page.
What changes can I ask for on my portrait?
Each style page has an optional Special requests box above Add to cart. Our design team reads your note and makes the change before your proof, included in the price. People ask for the name smaller or larger, the name centred or moved up or down, wider or tighter letter spacing, two names over two lines, a background colour outside the swatches, a collar, lead or harness left out, a stray object behind the pet tidied away, the crop adjusted for more room above the ears, or an eye colour or coat marking corrected.
What if it does not look like my pet?
You are the judge, first in the free preview before you pay. If it is not right, try another photo or another style at no cost. Write what you would like adjusted in the Special requests box. After you order, a designer reviews the portrait to make sure it will print well, then you receive a proof. Nothing is printed until you approve the proof, and if you want it refined at the proof, we refine it at no cost.
