From families who approved their proof

“We went back and forth on the ears twice. They never charged us.”

Claire · Beau’s Heirloom

“The proof looked like him. That’s why we didn’t go with the studio that skips proofs.”

Mark · Otto’s Boss
Questions

About your commission

What makes a good photograph?

Natural light, taken at your dog’s eye level, with the face and ears clearly visible. Phone photos are fine. Avoid heavy filters, overhead shots, and a sleeping heap if you have a clearer frame. If the photo will not make a beautiful portrait, the studio writes before we begin. More in the photo guide.

Can you include more than one pet?

Yes — two pets are an option. Tick “Add a second pet” and send a clear photograph of each. We will tell you if we need another angle.

What if I don’t like the proof?

Then we haven’t finished. Revisions are unlimited and complimentary. Nothing is printed until you approve it.

Is this an oil painting?

No. Every Elm & Tail portrait is hand-illustrated from your photograph — not an oil painting, not a filter — then printed on archival paper and framed in solid wood.

How long does it take?

About one to two weeks to the first proof, a few days per round of edits, then about a week to print, frame, and ship after you approve. Free shipping over $100.

What paper and frame do I get?

Archival, acid-free paper. Solid wood frame in black, white, walnut, or birch — or no frame. Default is 8×10, black, soft white background.

What is the 30-night guarantee?

Hang it for thirty nights. If the likeness, print, or frame is not right, write us. We reprint, re-illustrate, or refund.
