Miniature Collies

FAQ: I would like to include a background in my portrait like the one above with the miniature collies in. Do I need to supply the photos for this?

Answer: It's possible that you may have a very specific background in mind for your portrait. Sometimes people describe the background they would like, and then I find a reference to work from. At other times, customers send me a number of photos (of their garden, or walking area etc.) and I compose a background for the pets from these. In this portrait, I was asked to create a garden scene with a bench for the miniature collies.
