Getting Cstuom Dog Portraits Made

By Jody Leach


Most people see their dogs as a part of the family not just a pet. It is actually pretty common for people to have custom dog portraits done of their dogs. People always get portraits done of their kids and themselves. When you have a dog that is part of the family then why wouldn't you add him or her into the family portrait?

You can include your beloved dog in a portrait of you and your family or you can have one done of just your dog. Some people even do it both ways. There are even photographers out there that only take picture of animals. They will take any kind of photo you want.

Some people like to dress their pups in cute outfits but you don't have to, it's completely up to you. You can choose the background that the portrait is taken on. If your doing it in a studio or in your home and you are using a backdrop you want to pick one that will look good with your dogs natural coloring. You can also choose to do the picture in a natural setting like outside or somewhere in your home without a backdrop.

If you have a little dog that has a favorite toy, you could have his or her portrait taken with the toy he loves so much. If you have a big dog that loves to run outside you can have a portrait made of him outside in his favorite place to be.

You want to try to capture their personality just like you would with a human. Dogs all have individual personalities just like people do. They can be stingy, grumpy, silly, happy, loving, and even crazy. You want their individual personality to show through in their portrait. You can find wonderful pet photographers all over the world. They spend their career learning how to capture the perfect photo of your pets.

If you have a dog that was like family that passed away you can still get a portrait of that dog. It would be wonderful to have a portrait to hang up of your dog that is not with you any more. There are professionals that can paint a portrait from a picture. You just find the best picture you have of that dog and take it to a professional and they will paint you a beautiful portrait. Dogs are not just pets they are companions and friends and it is hard when you lose one. We miss them when they pass just like we would miss a friend that died.

In order to remember your deceased dog you should have a portrait hanging on your wall in memory of your friend. You can get a portrait done while they are still with you so that if something happens then you have it, but if they die before you get a picture done you can have someone paint you one.

Custom portraits are a great way to hold on to memories. Most people have them done of their whole family but not many people think to have one done of their dog. If your dog is a part of your family then he should have one done too. If you have more than one dog then you should have a portrait done of all of them. You can do them separately or all together. You can even include it in the family portrait, it is your choice how you want to do it.
