How does it work?
Book your slot
Take a look at my website homepage to see whether I am currently accepting new orders.
To book your space send a message to facebook page or email petportraitsbyeilidh@outlook.com to reserve your space. I ask for a 25% deposit to secure your slot. If you need your portrait for a specific date please ensure you let me know as soon as possible.
If my books are closed, you can sign up to my waiting list to be the first to hear when I am accepting new orders:
Select your photos
If you have a specific photo in mind please send it along with your enquiry. However, it can also be helpful to send across a few other photos to get the best likeness of your pet. Not sure what would make the best portrait? Feel free to send a selection of photographs that you think best represent your pet. The best photographs for portraits are in focus with as much detail showing as possible. However, I understand that sometimes it is not possible if the pet is no longer with us or if it is a surprise.
Select your medium & size
I offer two different mediums: pastel and graphite. Pastel portraits are in colour and are my most popular option. Pastel is the perfect medium to capture softness, even in a wire coat. These come with a toned background (e.g. brown or grey), as can be seen in my gallery of examples. Graphite portraits are black and white and are the first type of portrait I ever offered. These can capture great contrast and really focus on the character of your pet.
The sizes and pricing structure for each medium are listed below:

Mock-up
In preparation for your portrait, I will create a digital mock-up to demonstrate what your completed portrait will look like. This is the perfect time to discuss whether you would like to add or remove anything from your portrait (i.e. collars, name tags and leads).
