1.   Select a photo (s) that best represents your pet. (I just use the pose of the animal from the photo)

2.   Look over the prices and sizes to find what size and price best suits your budget and wall space.
     *SUGGESTION: Any size smaller than a 14"x18", is really just good for a 'head and shoulder portrait'.

3.   A word about backgrounds...generally, I like to place dogs in an outdoor setting.
     Often, I'll include something in the background that you have mentioned about your pet (favourite toy etc).
     The ideas for backgrounds come to me during the sketch phase.
     * If you would like something specific in the background (house, cottage, tool shed etc.)
      let me know and supply me with the necessary photo (s).
     There is an extra charge of $150.00 for this.
   Email me to discuss what you'd like.

1.    Print out the form. (click here for form)

2.    Fill it out.

3.    Write down a few sentences about your pet. This gives me an idea of their personality.

4.    Gather the photos. If sending more than one, please indicate the photo you would like me to use.
       *NOTE: If you are unsure about which photo to use and would like me to choose, indicate which photo (s) is/are your favourite.

5.     If you would like to send me photos via email, great...
        please send HIGH RESOLUTION images to the following email address:    photosforportrait@yahoo.ca

6.    Write a cheque payable to, 'Lisa Graziotto' for a deposit of 50%.

7.    Look at your pet and tell them you love them....soon they will be immortalised in oil!

8.    The waiting period for a portrait is usually anywhere between 4-20 weeks.
