Workshop Gift Certificates

Workshop gift certificates are now available to purchase for any amount. Either fully pre pay for the workshop or choose your own amount you’d like to gift.

Book A Portrait

In order to book a commission, I take a 50% deposit, simply fill out the ‘contact me’ form below so we can discuss your portrait. 

Once paid, the deposit is non-refundable unless an unlikely event prevents me from doing your piece. The balance will be due on completion.

At the time of booking, I will give you an approximate timescale of when you can expect your portrait. Nearer the time I will give you an accurate start date. From the date of the booking to your expected start date it is worth trying to get some good portraits (see photography tips below).

Please note that in order to do a piece justice I can only work from good quality photos and reserve the right to turn down anything I do not deem suitable.

I regularly ship to the US and Europe, please visit the Google Exchange Rate page to see the latest prices in $ and €

Gift Vouchers now available, please contact me on the contact form below for more information.

Photo Tips

• It is best to use a camera as opposed to a mobile phone camera. (Camera phones are ok if it is one of a high spec).
• Take photos of your animal outside in a natural light.
• Try to get on your pets level (eye level) and make sure that the picture is fully in focus and there isn’t a ‘flash’ in their eyes.
• Make sure you send the photos in their original format (don’t crop or edit the photos) as this can decrease the size and resolution of the image.
• Send the images as an attachment

Ultimately the decision is yours on what pose / look you want from your animal as you know that certain personality they have and what portrays them best!
