10 New Pet Portrait Styles — Including Two Just in Time for the Holidays

Ten new ways to turn your pet's photo into wall art — from a swirling Starry Night to a cosy Christmas portrait ready for this year's cards.

The style shelf just grew from 15 options to 25. Some of the new additions are wall-art styles that belong right alongside our originals; two are seasonal, built for people who want a Christmas card or Halloween post ready this year rather than next.

For the wall: three new painterly options

Monet Garden sets your pet beside a lily pond in soft, dappled Impressionist light — a gentler, more outdoor companion to our existing Renaissance Oil. Golden Age leans the other way: warm amber light against a dark 17th-century ground, for pets with deep or dramatic coloring. Starry Night is the boldest of the three — thick, swirling brushwork against a cobalt night sky, for an owner who wants their pet's portrait to be the first thing anyone notices on the wall.

For a bolder wall: three statement pieces

  • Art Deco — 1920s geometric symmetry in black, emerald, and metallic gold; graphic rather than painted, closer to a poster than a portrait.
  • Gilded Ornament — a naturalistic face set against flat gold-leaf pattern work, in the decorative tradition of early-20th-century Art Nouveau. The most luxurious-looking option in the gallery.
  • Surreal Dreamscape — your pet, fully photoreal and unaltered, standing in an impossible desert scene with soft melting shapes and a glowing sky. Playful rather than eerie.

For social and for the shelf

Editorial Glam is a straight studio-photography treatment — softbox lighting, a designer accessory, the kind of polish you'd expect from a magazine shoot rather than a phone snap. Fine Art B&W joins the Memorial shelf: a dramatic monochrome studio portrait for pet parents who want a dignified tribute photo rather than a painted one.

Christmas and Halloween: built for right now

These two are the reason we're posting this in August instead of waiting: Christmas wraps your pet in a knitted sweater by a lit fireplace with a decorated tree behind them — ready for a card, a group text, or a gift tag. Halloween keeps it playful rather than scary — a cape, a few carved pumpkins, warm candlelight — the kind of thing you'd actually want to print rather than something that reads as a costume for costume's sake.
