If you purchase this listing and do not provide a photo after 3 days (72 hours), your purchase will be canceled and you will be refunded.

*PLEASE NOTE: If your photo is too blurry or discolored, I will not be able to paint it, and will ask you for a different picture. If I request a different photo, and you do not respond for more than 3 days (72 hours), your purchase will be canceled and you will be refunded. The higher quality your photo is, the happier you will be with your finished painting! :)

Shipping time depends on the shipping service you choose at checkout, and may be affected by the pandemic and/or holidays.


***TIPS FOR PHOTOGRAPHING YOUR PET***

For the very best photos, take your dog outside in the afternoon, under perfectly even shade (such as a porch roof, balcony, or carport). Spotty shade (such as under a tree) will create patches of light, distracting from your dog's markings and details. Direct sunlight will wash out her colors or cause the photo to look faded. Dim light or artificial light (such as indoors or at sundown) can distort your dog's colors and make the photo blurry.

If you need to take the photo indoors, simply turn off all artificial lights, bring her in front of a window when the sunlight is brightest, and use the natural filtered light order shining towards her through the window.

In addition to getting the perfect light, try to photograph her face from about 2-3 feet away and straight on, instead of from above or below. Too angled or too close to your dog can distort her features (such as making her nose look much bigger than it is). A great trick is to have her sit, and hold a treat or favorite toy right above the camera lens, so she's looking directly into the camera and has a gleam of interest in her eye! If both of you are nice and still when you snap the photo, the details should come out focused and crisp!

I hope this helps! Let me know if you have any further questions on dog photography! :)
