The Order Process
-
First, decide on the custom piece you’d like to order from me—whether it’s a pet portrait, meaningful place, or another special project.
Commission openings are released in limited spots throughout the year. If a listing in my shop says Sold Out, that means commissions are currently closed and will reopen when new spots become available at a future date.
Join my email list for first notice when new commission spots open.
If helpful, you can also browse the FAQ page for quick answers before ordering!
-
Browse previous artwork galleries to explore styles, sizing ideas, and past commissions if you’d like inspiration before ordering.
-
Choosing a main reference photo is important and will impact the quality of your finished piece! Choose clear, well-lit images with visible details.
If you need some guidance, check out my Reference Photos Guide below!
-
Choose the size and style of artwork that best fits your vision, such as paper pieces for framing, sketches, paintings, or canvas portraits.

Before adding to cart, complete the pop-up form with additional details needed for your order.
-
Orders are placed directly online, with payment due in full at checkout to reserve your commission spot.
Once payment is processed, you will be prompted to upload your reference images.
-
Please allow 3–5 business days for me to personally review your order details, photos and selections. If any additional details or reference photos are needed, I’ll reach out directly.
-
For larger paintings or more complex pieces, I may provide a mockup to confirm layout and composition before painting begins.
-
Your artwork is then carefully hand-created with attention to detail, artistry, and meaning. Standard turnaround time is approximately 6 - 8 weeks.
-
Once complete, I’ll first send a photo of the finished piece to ensure no final adjustments are needed. Then, your artwork will be carefully packaged and shipped to you. A tracking link will be provided as soon as your order is on its way!

Tips for Reference Photos
The quality of your reference photo plays a huge role in the final piece—so choosing the right one matters!
Clear & not blurry: Crisp details help me capture your pet accurately
Straight-on angle: Photos taken at eye level work best (avoid shots from above)
Good lighting: Natural light is best—avoid harsh shadows or filters
Focus on the face & chest: Especially the eyes, expression, and unique markings
True-to-life colors: Choose photos that reflect your pet’s real fur coloring
Pose & personality: Pick a photo with an expression that feels like them
While I require at least 1 Primary photo, you’re welcome to send up to 2 Supporting Photos —I’m happy to help choose the one I think will look best as a painting!
✓ These are both great reference photos! They’re well-lit with no harsh shadows, taken straight on, clear, and capture their expressions nicely.
Have any questions?
✓ These reference photos also work really well as side profiles, if you are wanting that look!
