Portrait Investment
A portrait is more than an image—it is a lasting expression of how a life is remembered.
Legacy Pet Studio offers commissioned pet portraits created with care, restraint, and artistic intention. Each portrait is approached individually and crafted to reflect not only likeness, but presence and meaning.
Choosing a Portrait Level
Choosing a portrait is a personal decision, shaped by how you wish to remember and honor your pet.
Legacy Pet Studio offers three portrait levels—Foundation, Signature, and Legacy—each defined by artistic interpretation rather than size alone.
Each level reflects a different degree of artistic involvement, allowing clients to select the approach that best aligns with the significance of the portrait.
Foundation Portrait
Refined Simplicity
Starting at $495
Foundation Portraits focus on faithful likeness and timeless presentation. These portraits are intentionally restrained, emphasizing clarity, balance, and a calm visual presence.
This level is ideal for clients seeking a refined, understated portrait without extensive artistic reinterpretation.

Signature Portrait
Expressive Balance

Signature Portraits allow for deeper artistic interpretation while remaining grounded in realism. Subtle mood, sculpted light, and painterly refinement are used to express personality and presence without excess.
This level represents the balance between faithful representation and artistic voice.

Legacy Portraits are interpretive, heirloom-quality works created to honor a life with intention and permanence. These portraits often incorporate atmosphere, narrative, or symbolic elements and are designed to hold lasting emotional and visual weight.
This level is best suited for memorial pieces or portraits intended as once-in-a-lifetime works.

Additional Pet Pricing
Foundation Portrait: +$150 per additional pet
Signature Portrait: +$200 per additional pet
Legacy Portrait: +$250 per additional pet
Multi-pet portraits may be limited by tier and are reviewed during consultation to ensure balance and clarity.
Custom Hardwood Framing
Custom framing is available for select portraits and is designed in harmony with the artwork. Frames are crafted from solid hardwood and built as architectural companions to the portrait—not decorative afterthoughts.
Framing options are offered selectively and discussed after the portrait level and size have been determined.
Frame styles range from clean and understated to deeply architectural heirloom designs.
Pricing varies based on size, materials, and construction complexity.
Payment Terms
A 50% retainer is required to begin all commissioned portrait work.
The remaining balance is due upon final approval and prior to print production and delivery.
All retainers are non-refundable.
Next Steps
Clients are invited to begin with an inquiry to discuss portrait level, size, and any additional considerations. Guidance is provided throughout the process to ensure each portrait is approached with clarity and intention.
