  • Tips for Taking a Great Pet Reference Photo

    To create the best possible custom portrait, a clear and well-lit reference photo is essential. Here are a few simple tips to help you capture your pet in a way that translates beautifully into watercolor:

    1. Get on Their Level
    Take the photo at your pet’s eye level rather than from above. This helps capture their personality and creates a more natural composition.

    2. Use Natural Light
    Photograph your pet in natural light, ideally near a window or outside on a cloudy day. Avoid direct sunlight (which can cause harsh shadows) and indoor lighting (which can distort color and detail).

    3. Focus on the Face
    Make sure your pet’s face—especially their eyes—is sharp and in focus. The eyes are the most expressive part of the portrait, so clarity here is key.

    4. Simple Backgrounds Work Best
    Choose a clean, uncluttered background if possible. This keeps the focus on your pet and helps me clearly see their shape and details.

    5. Show Their Personality
    Capture them in a natural pose that reflects who they are—whether they’re alert, playful, relaxed, or curious.

    6. Take Multiple Photos
    Send several options if you’re unsure which one to choose. I’m happy to help select the one that will work best for the painting.

    7. Close-Ups Are Ideal
    Try to get a good close-up of your pet’s head and upper body. Full-body photos can be used too, but make sure your pet fills most of the frame.
