Pet Photography

For Yourself or as a Gift, A professional pet portrait is a work of art that is guaranteed to be loved by any pet owner.  

Pets are part of the family, so you will want to capture their memory with the same quality and artistry that you would afford any family member. Big Sun provides quality "on location" and studio portraits for very reasonable prices. 

Pet Portrait Styles:

• Studio Pet Portraits (see orange cat) – If you have a small pet (cat or small dog, snakes, birds, lizards, etc) we have the option for a studio style image using a professional lighting setup.  These type of images are best if you want a controlled portrait with a studio style abstract background. 
• Black and White Shadowed (see black and white cat)
  • This style of pet portraiture is more traditional and minimalist.
  • Works best for any location or room.
• Environmental – this is the more popular style of pet photography.  Images will be taken on location with a variety of posing and actions shots with or without the owner (see dog and owner photograph above).  Images can be in color or can be manipulated to black and white.
• Distressed Portraits - this is a unique style of portrait which melds the emotion and warmth of a painting with the realism of photography.
• • Abstract: (see parrot) – These very unique portraits are first created with an image of your pet. I will then carefully blend dozens of images from my collection of textures I've collected from around the world. The process takes from 5-10 hours depending on the complexity of the piece.
  • Environmental: (see horse) – Using the same techniques described above I can 'transport' your pet into whatever scene or environment you would like. Prefer to see your hunting dog's portrait as a prairie scene with flying fowl and a lake at sunrise? That can be done.
