About the Vintage Style
Vintage makes your pet look like a sitter in a photographer's studio from the late 1800s. The portrait borrows the look of an antique cabinet card: faded sepia and cream tones, soft focus, an oval mat framing your pet, gentle creases and wear, fine film grain and a handwritten caption with your pet's name along the bottom. Dogs look dignified, cats look unimpressed, and that deadpan seriousness is half the charm.
To be clear, this is a printed artwork made in the style of an antique photograph, not a real century-old photo. It's created from your modern photo, so your pet's face, markings and expression all carry through, then given that aged, nostalgic finish. It's a lovely gift for anyone who enjoys history, antiques or old family albums, and it looks right at home in a Pecan or Matte Black frame. Our vintage pet portrait page has more ideas.

Think twice if
Sepia means no bright color, so a pet whose vivid coat or eye color you adore will lose it here, and a watercolor style will keep it.

Vintage Style FAQ
No. It's a printed artwork made in the style of a late-1800s studio photograph, created from your own modern photo. The sepia tones, creases and grain are part of the look. Your pet's real face and markings carry through, and the free preview shows the result before you pay.
The portrait looks like an aged cabinet card, with faded sepia and cream tones, soft focus, an oval mat and film grain. A handwritten-style caption carries your pet's name, and adding the name is free. Type it in the studio and check the free preview first.
Almost any pet, but a calm, direct look works best, because old studio photographs were all about a steady gaze. Dogs sitting upright and cats with a regal stare are ideal. A clear, well-lit close-up helps, and the free studio lets you test several photos.
