We offer two flexible options:

  1. Full Portrait Voucher: You choose the photo, portrait size, medium and make full payment. The recipient receives the finished portrait once it's completed. Ideal if you'd like to plan everything in advance.

Gift Voucher FAQ - Everything You Need to Know

Absolutely. A custom pet portrait is one of the most thoughtful and unique gifts you can give. Whether it's for a birthday, wedding, anniversary, or in memory of a beloved pet, it shows care and consideration far beyond anything mass-produced. Our gift vouchers are perfect if you're unsure which photo to use or want to let the recipient be part of the process.

The price of a pet portrait depends on the size, medium (pencil or oil), and number of subjects. Our pencil drawings start at £220 and our oil paintings begin at £950. Every portrait is a bespoke piece of art, created with care and professional materials. You can view our full pricing page here.

We believe so — and so do our clients. A professionally hand-crafted pet portrait isn't just a picture; it's a heartfelt tribute, a keepsake, and often a treasured memory of a beloved companion. Unlike a photo, a portrait captures emotion, personality, and spirit in a way that lasts a lifetime. Our clients regularly tell us it was one of the most meaningful gifts they've ever received.
