Choosing the Perfect Photo

A great portrait starts with a great photo.

✔ Clear, high-quality image
✔ Good natural lighting
✔ Face and neck fully visible
✔ No heavy filters
✔ Front-facing is ideal (but any pose works!)

Please note: Accessories like collars, bows, hats, and bandanas are removed by default unless you'd like us to include them.

Still not sure if your photo works?

Just email it to us at hello@keepsakekrate.com to ask.

If you're honouring a pet who's no longer with you, we know your photo options may be limited. In many cases, we're still able to create a beautiful portrait from older or less-than-perfect photos.

In most instances, we can still make it work.
