OUR PHOTO TIPS

Pet Portraits Taken With Your Own Photos

The key to success! When taking your dog's photo is you need to crouch down and take it at their eye-level. Thats it!

Hold a treat in your hand - it will definitely grab their attention!

Taking the photo outside in natural daylight is by far the best option ... which is a daily occurrence when your four-legged friend takes you for a walk.

A clever tip! For those that have a small or light weight dog is to ask a friend to hold it slightly to one side - it will give the same result as the all important taking the photo at their eye-level.

For us this is a great photo as we do not need the whole body just the head & shoulders (don't forget the pointy ears!) it is taken outdoors with a clutter free background.

WHAT DO I DO NEXT?

We hope that we have answered many questions below

If needed we are just a woof, text, email or call away

HOW IT IS DONE

Should I take a new photo?

We highly recommend that you take new photos for us to achieve the best final result. As natural daylight is the best option take some photos outdoors such as in the garden, park or on your next dog walk.

Top Tip - For the very best results take the the photo's of your dog at their eye level - crouch down or with small dogs hold them in your arms to the side of your body.

Can I use my mobile?

Yes! All modern smartphones take excellent photos, and chances are that you will have it with you on your next dog walk. A good tip is to check that the phone settings are set to taking the largest photo size possible.

How many photo's shall I take?

Take a selection of photos when your dog is looking a little to either side. Don't forget to take a photo straight on. Have a look through the photos, and email us the best 1-3 variations.

Can I use an old photo?

Absolutely! We all have favourite photos of our four-legged friends including those that may no longer be with us. Preferably the photo has been taken at eye-level, showing the whole dog’s head, and is nicely exposed.
If in doubt, just get in contact with us before you order. Our email is: woof@fourlegsonetale.com

Where do I send my photos?

Please email them to us at: woof@fourlegsonetale.com

We bought a portrait of our dog after meeting the guys at a dog show - they were warm and friendly and we thought the product was pretty unique! We absolutely love the finished portrait and it never fails to get compliments from everyone … More who comes to our home. They really captured our dog's personality. Thank you!
Lesley Moore ★★★★★ a year ago
So delighted with my 3 prints of our beautiful boys before Christmas, I had to buy 2 more as gifts for family members and their boys! The level of service from Natalie and Mark was outstanding! Our blank wall has become a feature wall and … More makes me smile every time I look at it. A great topic of conversation for visitors too. Thank you for doing them justice! ❤️
Gemma Jackson (MissGemstones) ★★★★★ 9 months ago
We saw them at a dog show and got them to take a pic of our dog was so professional and lots of options available for the portrait fast turnaround and lots of communication to ensure happy with end result. We will be getting another for … More our puppy soon. Thanks so much

I cannot recommend this small family run business enough. I stumbled across their stand at a dog show recently after Natalie made a fuss over my Norwegian Elkhound and wanted to meet him. She and her family were very friendly and informative … More and their display was professionally put together. I decided immediately to get a portrait of Fergus done with the Farmer II background. I was kept informed by email frequently about the progress of my order and was sent a draft for my approval after 10 days. The photo arrived about a week later in robust packaging by signed Royal Mail first delivery and I couldn't have been happier with the first class quality of the print. I'll definitely be using this company again and would thoroughly recommend them to everyone. Good job guys and many thanks.

We ordered our print at Newbury All About Dogs. Despite the horrific rain storm that had just finished, everyone was polite and professional, taking plenty of time to make sure we got the picture we wanted. It arrived on time after the … More proof approval and is absolutely great.
