My sister had an affectionate beagle named Fred; he was a ball of fun.  He could talk anyone out of their lunch with just his eyes.  Unfortunately, he came to the end of his time.  One evening my sister and I were sitting around the table looking at family photos.  When my sister saw his picture, she broke out in a terrific smile.  That’s when it occurred to me that many people would love a professional portrait of their best friend.  Something that would make them smile every time they passed by.  I love pets and photography. I’ve been doing it for literally decades, so an enterprise was born. I teamed up with a world class retoucher (for that stray hair or drool) and a pet friendly studio in Edmonds, Washington where we create unique pet art. 

About the Quality

It’s hard to see what a large high-quality print looks like on a computer monitor, much less a small phone screen.  You can experiment with this yourself.  Use your cell phone to take a picture of your pet so she/he fills the frame like the full body images at the bottom below. Then enlarge the eye to the same size as the eyes below on the left. (You may have to transfer the image to a computer to enlarge enough.).  How do they compare?

Below are examples we did.  It looks extreme but that’s the difference between shooting with studio lights/equipment and a large format camera versus a shot with room lighting on a cell phone (this one was shot with an iPhone 15 plus).
