The Journey

From Reservation to Reveal

1

Reserve Your Place in the Queue

Limited commissions are released in collections. Once you've secured your booking, your place is locked into my painting queue and I'll work through portraits in the order they were reserved.

2

Booking Confirmation & Next Steps

You'll receive a confirmation email with everything you need to know, including when to submit your photos and what happens next.

3

Submit Your Reference Photos

When it's your turn, I'll invite you to upload your pet's photos. I'll also share exactly what makes the best reference images to ensure your portrait turns out beautifully.

4

I Paint Your Portrait

Every portrait is painted by hand using professional watercolours. I work on one commission at a time, giving each pet the care and attention they deserve.

5

Your Digital Reveal

Before your portrait is packaged, I'll send you a digital preview so you can see your finished artwork before it leaves my studio.

6

Carefully Packaged & Delivered

Your original portrait is carefully wrapped and sent with tracked shipping, ready to become a keepsake you'll treasure for years to come.

My Promise

Painted By Me. Always.

Every portrait that leaves my studio is painted entirely by me, by hand. Nothing is outsourced. Nothing is rushed. Your pet receives the same care and attention I'd give my own.

The moment you reserve, I hold your place in the queue and turn other bookings away — that's why deposits matter, and why I take that commitment just as seriously as you do.

Annalise did my childhood dog for me and it’s absolutely insane. It looks exactly like my dog because it is what she does. I think is so thoughtful because once you have a drawing from her of your Animal you’ll understand how important it is to have something of your own every draining is unique bc it’s our pets.

Where do I even start, Annalise is a PHENOMENAL artist. She captures their look and somehow even their personalities in her paintings. I don't think there's anything more special than a hand-painted, 1 of 1 piece of art of my pets. I got one for my dog and one for my cat so they can be positioned or together on the wall, and I'll keep them up for the rest of my life. They'd also make the perfect gift for any of my friends and family with a pet, really a no brainer. I'm obsessed with them forever and ever.

Annalise captured both my pups so beautifully. The amount of detail is incredible, I could spend hours just staring at both artworks and noticing something new each time. They now have pride of place on our wall and are admired by everyone who visits every single day. ❤️

I had a custom painting done of my three fur kids and have been obsessed since I saw it. The detail and care shows how much Annalise loves creating these. I also added their paw prints from the print kits. Highly recommend a custom painting. Absolutely love my painting. Thank you again so much =)

Questions

Everything You're Wondering

Send through a few options — I'll personally pick the one that will paint most beautifully, and let you know if I need anything else.

Every portrait in this collection is completed and shipped within the collection window — you'll know your timeframe as soon as you reserve.

Absolutely — your booking is based on the number of pets, not the portrait size, so simply select the right number when reserving.

I'll always work with you before your portrait ships to make sure it feels right — your happiness matters more to me than a fast turnaround.

Yes — memorial portraits are some of the most meaningful work I do, and I treat them with extra care.

Once you reserve, I hold your place in the queue and turn away other bookings for that spot — the deposit reflects that commitment. It's fully credited toward your final portrait price, so it's never an extra cost, just paid upfront.

Your deposit isn't refundable, but it is transferable — just let me know and I'll happily move it to a future collection whenever the timing suits you better.
