Photo Guide
How to Choose the Best Photo for Your Custom Pet Portrait
To create a heartfelt and accurate wool sculpture, we rely entirely on the photo you provide. A great reference photo allows us to capture the little details that make your pet truly yours.
✅ What Makes a Good Photo:
-
Clear and high-resolution – We need to see the texture of the fur and facial features
-
Front-facing or 3/4 angle – Both eyes and ears should be visible
-
Natural lighting – Avoid heavy shadows or bright flash
-
Neutral background – Helps us focus on your pet’s face and proportions
-
Unique expression welcome – If your pet had a signature look, feel free to include it!
❌ What to Avoid:
-
Blurry or pixelated images
-
Photos with heavy filters or strong color edits
-
Extreme angles (e.g. top-down, nose close-ups)
-
Obstructed features (e.g. ears cropped, tongue out, face turned away)
-
Group photos where the pet is far away or out of focus

You took such care with our request, and the result left us speechless. Thank you for listening.

The softness, the pose, the eyes—everything felt like a reunion. Thank you for this tiny miracle.

We lost our dog last year, and this made the absence feel a little smaller. A beautiful tribute.

Her favorite toy was even included! I never mentioned it, but you noticed it in the background. Wow.

I never thought an object could make me feel so seen. This little sculpture feels alive.

I didn’t expect something so gentle to carry so much weight. I’m in awe.

A keepsake we’ll treasure for life. The expression, the posture—everything is perfect.

My children adore it. It helped them talk about missing him, in their own way.

Somehow you saw the soul of our cat through a few images. And gave her back to us.

I can’t stop looking at it. It’s my favorite thing in the house now.

You brought my little buddy back to life. That’s a priceless gift.

You truly captured the soul of my pet. It feels like they’re still with me, watching over.

It feels personal, warm, and full of love. Couldn’t have asked for more.

This portrait exceeded all expectations. Every detail was carefully crafted and full of warmth.

I keep it beside my bed. It's quiet comfort, every night.
