Christmas Pet Portraits

These Christmas pet portraits are made from your own photo: your cat or dog, digitally illustrated into a vintage style holiday scene with the tree, the lights or the gift box they claimed this year. There are seven Christmas designs, four for cats and three for dogs, each a keepsake of the happy chaos pets bring to the holidays. They’re for pet parents and anyone shopping for one, from $19 for a digital file that arrives within about 3 business days.

Questions

Good to know

Which Christmas scenes are available for cats?
Four: The Ornament (nestled in the branches of the tree), The Decorator (sitting in the middle of the light strand), The Real Gift (settled into a torn-open gift box) and The Culprit (one paw reaching for an ornament that’s about to fall).
Which Christmas scenes are available for dogs?
Three: First in Line (at the hearth with a stocking in their mouth), The Decorator (wrapped nose to tail in the lights) and Night Watch (guarding Santa’s cookies and milk).
Will my portrait arrive in time for Christmas?
Digital portraits arrive within about 3 business days of your photos. Prints and canvases are printed once you approve your proof and take about 1 to 2 weeks from order to doorstep, and can run longer in December, so order those early.
Can I put two pets in one Christmas portrait?
Every portrait stars a single pet, so each one gets the whole scene to themselves. For two pets, two portraits hung side by side make a wonderful pair.
