Dog Pet Portraits

My dog pet portraits are the perfect way to celebrate your furry best friend. Whether you’re looking for a lifelike portrait that captures your pup’s unique features, or a whimsical painting that shows off their playful personality, I can bring your vision to life.

Everyone who owns a dog will tell you they aren’t just a dog – they are a member of the family. Some families with children will even describe their dog as their favourite child! 🐶 Dogs seem to be able to understand us and our emotions, unlike any other animal, which means the bonds with them run deep. Of course, they are all individual characters and I try to bring that out in my portraits. Maybe you want to have a portrait of your dog with its favourite toy, walking, swimming or just up to general mischief. If you have multiple furry friends, you may decide you want them all included in one portrait rather than separately. If they have a special relationship with another pet, e.g. your cat, and they often curl up together, that can be a lovely portrait showing their tender side. I can group all your pets together if that’s your preference.

I would like to chat to you to advise you on the best way to capture your dogs in photos. Videos are good too, as this shows me their personalities in action. If you are local, I will happily pay you a visit to take photos and get to know your furry friend in person. It all helps me to translate their character into my portraits.
