Pet PORTRAITS
After all... they are Family too!
Below you will find two different styles of print; our Master Canvas and the 'Fine Art' Heirloom print.
We create our Heirloom prints in-house up to *16x20”, ensuring careful handling and consistent quality. For larger sizes and canvas editions, we work with a trusted partner lab that uses the same or comparable high-quality papers and canvases to maintain the look and durability you expect.
When considering the size of portrait to choose, reflect on where you will be viewing the portrait from and how you want it to engage the space. Larger wall portraits are appropriate for various reasons, but most importantly because they can be comfortably viewed and enjoyed from a normal viewing distance, which for many rooms is more likely to be 8 to 15 feet away. Conversely, when a portrait will be displayed on a side table, desk or stairway landing, a smaller size is more appropriate because the viewing distance is much reduced and the image will be seen up close. A useful rule of thumb is that the ideal viewing distance is roughly 2–4 times the diagonal of the image (measured across the visible image, not the frame); in our work we typically use about 3 times the diagonal as a practical standard.
If you can't decide on only one image, you may be interested in our "Master Wall Collections".
Heirloom Portraits
Heirloom is the term we use when your portrait is produced to the same exacting standards as our Fine Art photography. We carefully select the finest archival paper for your portrait, choosing materials that will deliver the quality, rich tonal range and longevity you expect from a true Fine Art print.
The portrait is printed with a border around the image to allow safer handling and to help prevent contamination or damage to the actual printed image. The finished image size is determined by the photograph’s aspect ratio and the final crop chosen.
A title or caption may also be added to the bottom of the print, within the border, to provide context or a brief description.
| Approximate Size | 1st Edition | Second + |
| 24 x 30" | 345. | 285. |
| 20 x 24" | 245. | 185. |
| *16 x 20" | 165. | 125. |
| *11 x 14 / 12 x 18" | 85. | 65. |
| *8 x 10 or smaller | 45. | 35. |
Heirloom prints are best displayed under a mat with UV glass for protection. Prints, any artwork for that matter, should not be displayed in direct sunlight. When displayed properly, these prints should last generations.
Master Canvas Portraits
Although we do print smaller sizes on canvas, these are usually selected when you want a portrait that is 24" or larger. Gallery Canvases, where the canvas is 'wrapped' around the sides of a thick stretcher, displaying part of the image either mirrored or extended around the corners. No framing is required on the Gallery Canvas.

Master Canvases are printed on the finest archival acid free canvas with no OBA (optical brightening additives) to discolour over time. All canvas prints are protected with a UV inhibiting protective coating to resist fading and provide added protection against scuffs and scratches. When properly displayed, these prints can resist fading for well over 100 years.
NOTE: Due to the nature of canvas wrapping, finished sizes may vary up to an inch from stated dimension.
