New Pet & Adoption Portraits

Welcome the newest family member properly.

One phone photo · Free preview in about a minute · Love it or we redo it — free

New puppy, rescue cat, first family dog — the early weeks are when the photos pile up and the love sets in. A portrait of the new arrival marks the beginning the way baby portraits do: this is when they joined the family. For rescues, an adoption-day portrait of the scruffy "before" face is a keepsake that gains meaning every year.

It also makes an inspired gift for someone else’s new pet — the housewarming gift for a heart, not a house.

When to order for New Pet

🗓 Puppies change weekly — capture the baby face now with a digital ($29), print the canvas when they’ve grown into their ears.
🗓 Adoption gift: the poster ($45) arrives in ~8 business days, right when the new-pet chaos settles.
🗓 Gotcha-day anniversaries are the natural reorder moment — same pet, new year, new portrait.

New Pet gifting tips

🎁 For new puppy parents, gift the portrait before the puppy outgrows the face in the photo.
🎁 Shelters and rescues love seeing adopted alumni — a portrait makes a lovely update to send them.
🎁 Multi-pet households: introduce the newcomer with a portrait beside the senior pet’s.

New Pet portrait questions

My puppy won’t sit still for a photo. What do I do?

Burst mode plus a treat above the camera. Any clear shot of the face works — the preview is free, so you can test a few photos.

Is this a good gift for someone who just adopted a pet?

One of the best — it celebrates the decision and the animal. Borrow a photo from their announcement post and surprise them.

Will a portrait of a puppy still look like them later?

It captures them as they are now — that’s the point. Many families do one each gotcha-day and watch the wall fill up.
