Handmade Pet Portrait Books
Custom-illustrated, hand-crafted accordion books make a wonderful, personalized gift for the animal-lover in your life!
A handmade book is a unique and thoughtful way to celebrate a special milestone or memorialize a beloved pet that has passed away.
Each book includes 8 original full-color illustrations, along with captions that you provide.
Each order includes:
one handmade book signed by the artist and printed on eco-friendly Hahnemühle paper with a custom-designed hard cover and elastic or ribbon closure.
one bonus 8x10 print of a selected illustration
When you click the Place Your Order button below, you’ll fill out a form with all the pet’s details. I’ll follow up shortly in an email to collect photos and captions for the book, as well as any other important details.
International shipping included.

You do! That’s what makes this gift so personal and special. I am happy to help you brainstorm ideas and help you edit your text into the format that will work best for a small book. Start by sending me 8 - 10 little facts or memories about your pet, and we can go from there.

My illustrations are sketched in pencil on paper first, then scanned and digitally inked and painted using tools such as Adobe Illustrator, Photoshop and Procreate. All art is original, made with human intelligence; never A.I.

Depending on my prior bookings, anticipate about 2-3 weeks turnaround time from when the order is placed to when you receive a digital proof of your book. Once the proofs have been approved, I will print and fabricate two books for you, and ship them with standard international shipping. You should budget 7-10 days for the shipping. Leading up to the holidays, I may get busy, so lead times may be longer— I’ll always keep you updated on wait times and will do my best to accommodate reasonable deadlines for gifts!
