Examples from our studio
The regency pet portrait is the gentle choice: no uniform, nothing that makes a joke of your pet. Your pet takes on a quiet gentleman's dress of about 1815, in an oil-painting look. It suits a settled older dog, or a cat who already acts as if the house is hers. For someone who loves old novels this is a good gift, and it looks right in a study or above a fireplace.
Shoot in daylight with the flash off, camera level with your pet's face. Move in until the eyes are clear, keep the whole head in frame and have your pet face the lens. A phone shot is fine: JPG, PNG, WebP or HEIC, up to 15 MB. Oak look is the suggested frame and you can change it. The white mount, for framed prints only, gives the gallery border.
Add a photo and your pet turns up in this costume before you pay, in under a minute. The preview opens tight on the whole portrait, and On the wall sets it in a room. Your pet's name is free, and a second line is optional. A designer checks every portrait before it prints.

Which pets take to the Regency Gentleman style?
It is the soft option as costumes go. There is no uniform and no prank at your pet's cost, so a settled dog in later years carries it, and so does a cat with some gravity. It also pleases the sort of person who rereads nineteenth-century fiction, which makes it a simple gift to settle on.
What frame works best with a regency dog portrait?
Oak look is the frame suggested for this style, and you can change it to black or white before you order. The white mount, for framed prints only, adds the gallery border inside the frame; leave it out and the portrait fills the frame. Art prints come unframed, and canvas comes with or without a frame.
Do cats and horses work in this style?
They do. Our studio shows every style on a chestnut horse, a grey shorthair and a tabby and white cat, so the cravat and waistcoat can be judged on animals other than dogs. Any of them works from one clear photo of the face, taken in natural light with the flash switched off.
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.
