Pay by BACS (bank transfer) or card payment over the phone. Other payment methods can be arranged. Get in touch for details.
Choosing a value
A voucher can be for any amount, for the whole of a portrait or as part payment. These are the 2026 prices, so you can choose a value that covers a whole portrait, mounted or framed, or put something towards one.
If you're not sure which size they'd choose, Christine can help: the size depends on their photos, and the size and breed of their pet.

Portraits given as presents
Know the pet, and can get the photos? You can also commission the portrait itself as a present. Tell Christine if it's a secret, so she doesn't mention it if she phones.

a Christmas present for Mum
Chestnut horse
After having her dogs painted, Dawn decided on a horse portrait for her mum as a Christmas present. Once the photographs were taken and the favourite pose chosen, Dawn used a payment plan to spread the cost over a few months.

a surprise birthday present
Three horses
Christine went to Stratford on one of her photo-shoot trips to photograph these three horses for a surprise birthday present. She drew an outline sketch of the layout so the client could check it before painting began. It was painted at the Large size and collected from the studio.

Three Jack Russells
Brenda emailed photographs of the three Jack Russells she has owned over the years, for a portrait as a present to herself with money she received on retiring. Choosing the most typical expressions, Christine put the three heads together on a Medium portrait and sent it, framed, by courier. Brenda was overwhelmed with the result.
