Senior Dogs portraits
Grey muzzles, cloudy eyes and a softened stance are part of the story.
What we keep
We keep the grey unless you ask for a younger look.
Approved by you
You approve every portrait before it's made. Two revisions, should they be needed.
Every marking
Spots, stripes, masks, odd eyes, extra toes. Their face, not a face.
Framed to give
Archival prints, real frames and a linen box. Ready to hang, or to hand over.
It moves
A code on the frame back opens a moving portrait and a private page.
Photo tips
Recent photos are best; you can add a younger one as reference.
Natural daylight, eye-level, and the whole head in frame. Avoid heavy filters; they change coat colour.
Special features we'll keep
Add any of these in the Special Features box and we'll keep them, and you'll confirm each one on your proof:
- a white blaze or uneven mask
- one blue and one brown eye
- a missing leg (tripod) or ear
- a grey muzzle
- a scar or notch

Questions
Will my senior dogs look like my pet, not a generic one?
We keep the grey unless you ask for a younger look. And you approve every portrait before it's made.
What photos work best?
Recent photos are best; you can add a younger one as reference. 1 to 3 photos is plenty.
Can I include two pets or myself?
Yes. See our family and owner portraits; just upload a photo of each.
What if something is off?
Ask for a revision; two are included. Nothing is made until you approve.
