Photos are great - but they never quite catch them properly.
The way they sit.
That look they give you.
The expression you see every day.
I hand-draw and paint custom pet portraits from your photographs, keeping the small details that make them familiar. The aim isn’t perfection - it’s recognition. Something that feels like them when you walk past it.

Hand-drawn and painted portraits of your dog, cat or any animal, created from your photos and painted to commission in my UK studio.
I wasn’t sure how well a painting could capture our dog from a few phone photos, but Sophie absolutely nailed it. The expression is spot on and everyone who visits notices it straight away. It genuinely feels like him.
The whole process was really easy. Sophie helped me choose the best photo and kept me updated while she was working. The finished portrait was even better than I expected and now has pride of place in our living room.
We asked Sophie to combine two dogs who had never been photographed together and she made it look completely natural. You’d never know they weren’t in the same picture originally.
Such a lovely experience from start to finish. Communication was clear, the timescale was accurate and the painting feels really personal rather than decorative. I’d happily recommend her to anyone thinking about a pet portrait.
