WALL ART:
for the one you want to see every day
My handcrafted wall art is designed to be the heart of your home.
The Guild Canvas is my most elevated option — offering rich texture, true-to-life color, and a timeless, hand-finished look.
Hand-brushed texture, a handmade frame, and a finished piece designed for the wall — so your favorite portrait becomes part of daily life, not another image tucked away on a phone.
THE FOLIO BOX:
when you love too many favorites
A handcrafted box of matted fine art prints so you can enjoy your favorites today — and change your mind tomorrow.
Archival matted prints
Elegant, handcrafted box
Easily frame, swap and share
Every folio box is available in two sizes, with no added cost for choosing the larger option.
8×10 Folio Box — holds beautifully matted 5×7 portraits
11×14 Folio Box — holds matted 8×10 portraits
From there, you can choose the lid style that best fits your home and how you want to enjoy your portraits.
Clear Acrylic Lid
A versatile option that lets you see the matted portraits inside, making it easy to rotate your favorites and enjoy the box as a changing display.
Inlaid Image Lid
A more custom, finished presentation featuring a hand-torn portrait on the outside and an additional image printed inside the lid. It’s a beautiful choice if you want the box itself to feel like a piece of artwork.
Either way, your folio box becomes more than storage. It becomes a quiet place to revisit this chapter with the dog you love.
Timber Folio Box: A clean, modern option available in Grey, Oak, or Black.
Bamboo Folio Box: A warmer option made with stained bamboo, Australian Ash, and rustic gold hinges.
THE EDGE ALBUM:
when you want the whole story
A photographic book designed to be seen, not stored away.
The Edge Album reimagines what an album can be. Instead of a book that is opened once and tucked into a drawer, Edge is created to live out in the open — on a coffee table, shelf, or favorite surface in your home.
With thick pages, a dimensional cover, and edge printing, the Edge Album is made to be seen from every angle. It’s a beautiful choice when you want to tell the fuller story of the dog you love in a way that feels personal, modern, and part of your home.
Each Edge Album also includes a premium presentation box, giving it a finished, protected place to live when it is not being held and enjoyed.
Best for: clients who want more than one favorite portrait and love the idea of an album that becomes part of daily life.
Additional Ways to Enjoy Your Images
Once you’ve chosen your main artwork, you may want a few smaller pieces to enjoy or share.
Tabletop pieces are lovely for desks, shelves, bedside tables, or smaller spaces where you want to see the dog you love every day.
Gift prints are a thoughtful way to share favorite images with family or anyone who loves your dog, too.
These pieces are easiest to choose after you’ve selected your favorite images and main artwork.
HOW TO CHOOSE YOUR ARTWORK
Your reveal video will introduce your slideshow, your gallery, and this artwork guide. Start by taking it all in — the images, the expressions, and the little moments that feel like the dog you love.
After you’ve watched, you can return to this page anytime as you narrow your favorites and decide what feels right for your home.
1. WATCH YOUR REVEAL
Sit back, relax, and enjoy the reveal video. Watch your slideshow, explore your gallery, and take in the images before making any decisions.
2. SELECT YOUR ARTWORK
Move through the gallery and mark the portraits and moments you love most with the favorites heart. Then choose the pieces that fit your images, your home, and the way you want to remember the dog you love.
Not sure where to start? I’m happy to help you narrow down the options.
3. ENJOY THE FINISHED PIECES
Your selected images are optimized for the artwork you choose, then your pieces go into production. Once they arrive, you’ll have something tangible to see, hold, and cherish every day.
Frequently Asked Questions
-
Every artwork purchase includes the finished piece you choose and the matching high-resolution digital file for each image used in that piece.
For example, if your Folio Box includes 15 portraits, you’ll receive those 15 matching digital files. If your box includes an inlaid image, that image is included digitally, too.
-
Most artwork takes several weeks to create, depending on the piece you choose and current production timelines. Some of my higher-end pieces can take up to 8 weeks after they have been sent to production.
Once your order is placed, your selected images are carefully optimized for the artwork you chose, then sent into production. I’ll keep you updated along the way so you know what to expect.
-
Yes, but I recommend choosing your favorite pieces during your gallery window so your order can move into production smoothly.
If you decide later that you’d like to add more artwork, just reach out and I’ll let you know what options are available from your gallery.
-
Start with the images you keep coming back to — the ones that feel most like the dog you love.
If you’re stuck, I’m happy to help you narrow things down and think through whether your favorites make the most sense as wall art, a folio box, an album, or a collection.
-
You will receive an email with an order questionnaire. It is a very simple text box. For example, you would write 11×14 Bamboo Folio box with image #14 in the upper lid and image #35 on the inner lid.
Then utilize your favorite submission to let me know which photos need to be printed with the box.
-
Yes. Every image used in your artwork includes the matching high-resolution digital file.
That means the images you choose for wall art, a folio box, an album, or an inlaid box design are included digitally, too.
-
That is exactly what the Folio Box and album are for.
A Folio Box is ideal for a curated set of favorites you can hold, rotate, or frame later. An album is best when you want the fuller story from the session.
-
Yes. Many clients choose one main piece, while others choose a collection that brings more favorites together.
For example, you may want one favorite on the wall and the rest gathered in a folio box or album.
-
Yes. Final artwork receives detailed retouching after you choose your favorites.
You may still see leashes or small distractions in your gallery. That’s normal. Safety comes first during the session, and final artwork is polished before production.
-
Start with the images you love most.
Then ask yourself how you want to enjoy them: one favorite on the wall, a curated set in a folio box, or the fuller story in an album. If you’re still unsure, I’m happy to help you narrow down the best fit.
