Groupings in one painting: Add 25% of the price for a second subject and 10% of the original price for each additional subject.
Example: A small, single head portrait is $600.  To include a second subject's head in the same painting, you'd
add 25% of $600 ($150.) = $750;  Each head thereafter would add 10% of the original price of $600 ($60).
So a small painting of four heads would cost $600 + $150 + $60 + $60 = $870.

Send several color photos, (you may send separate photos of each subject, even if they'll be grouped together in the portrait). Do not send irreplaceable photos for which you have no negative.

Indicate the SIZE, TYPE and BACKGROUND desired.

Note the animal's name, breed and true color. Describe eye color especially, since this is often misrepresented in photos.

Include separate photos of a specific background if one is desired, such as your home or barn in the distance, or the inside of a horse's stall.

I will take the photographs here at the studio for a fee of $50. or will travel within 50 miles of Ocala, FL for a fee of $200. If you'd prefer to take them yourself, here are some tips...

The best photos (of the animal and the background) are taken when the sun is low in the sky - early morning or late afternoon on a clear day. High noon is the worst! Indoor flash photos are to be avoided if possible.

Try to take your animal photos outdoors with you standing on the same level as the subject; this might mean using a small hill or stepladder when photographing a tall horse (so the photo isn't looking up at him) or a picnic table on which to set a dog or cat (so the photo isn't looking down at him).

Try to capture a 3/4 profile with just the bump of the
far eye showing rather than a full profile or head-on shot.

Have someone off camera to catch the subject's attention as this will help get an alert expression and the proper turn of the head.  If you're photographing a horse's full body, make sure all four legs are visible. Traditionally, the legs closest to the viewer are further away from each other.

Whether you're taking a full body shot, or just a head, be sure to stand in a direct line from him at 90 degrees -- like a "T" -- and stay just behind his withers, letting your assistant encourage him to turn his head.

Include your name, street address, e-mail and daytime phone number. If this portrait is to be given as a surprise gift, please mention this (so I don't call and ruin it!) and tell me the date of the event.

Enclose a check payable to Lynn Wade for one half of the portrait price. You will receive a photo of the completed portrait. When this is approved by you, the original work will be sent to you, C.O.D.  At this time you'll pay the balance of the portrait price, insured shipping and crate or air-float box cost.

Gift certificates and payment plans are available.

Your satisfaction is absolutely guaranteed.
