It’s essential to consider what type of prints you plan to get before we even start the portrait session. Rustie and co is committed to making sure your images do not end up in the bottom drawer or in the depths of your phone never to be seen again.

Pets are family and they deserve to be remembered in the right way. .. besides, who doesn’t want to have a beautiful picture of their dog on the wall?

Before we meet, I always like to discuss what you want to get out of the session. Do you have an empty wall that is just begging for a showpiece picture of your pooch? Do you have a contemporary home and need an image with a simple frame with crisp images and vibrant colours? Or perhaps you have an older home and prefer a more rustic look … we have the print options for you. If wall art is not your thing, we also have photo albums and desk top pictures.

It really helps to guide the photography session if we already have a good idea of the way you want your final artwork to be presented. Check out the different options on offer. You don’t have to decide before we meet, but we will get the maximum out of our portrait session if you at least have an idea.

Acrylics

Acrylic tiles are a creative and stylish way to showcase the beauty and charm of your beloved canine companions. Your image will be printed on shimmering metallic paper before being mounted onto a 3cm thick slab of acrylic that will stand up by itself. With no frame necessary, the image is left free to shine by itself. This contemporary option is timeless and will suit any house and small enough to take to the office, so you can have your best mate with you anywhere you go. They also make perfect gifts as you can order them in a range of different sizes.

The acrylic has the advantage of enhancing the vibrant colours of the print and results in a pin sharp image, showcasing the fine details of your pets fur and allowing their eyes to really shine.  The thickness of the block and the metallic image gives a three dimensional feel and really brings the picture to life. 

Would like to have the same effect but have it mounted on the wall? We can do this too with the acrylic floating frameless images. Your favourite portraits can be mounted on the wall in much larger sizes than the table mount options. With a much thinner piece of acrylic (5mm), the smooth, high-gloss finish adds depth and vibrancy to the colours. Without a frame, the picture is left with no distractions, allowing your happy, smiling pup to have all the attention it deserves on the wall. 

Installation is easy, as each picture comes with instructions and a hidden hanging system on the back, giving the illusion that it is literally floating on the wall.

Rustic wooden prints

After a more rustic look? Older or more beachy style houses are crying out for prints on wood. This is a unique and artistic approach to immortalising our pets, by mounting onto a wood panel, or printing directly onto it, allowing the grain to show through.

Print them onto a smaller size so that they can stand alone on a flat surface like a desk, shelf or table, or make them big so they can be mounted on the wall. The larger wall pieces come with a floating frame to really finish the effect. 

Many people opt to purchase a group of 3 or more prints, so they can have a collection that really stands out and showcases their pet’s story.
