Pricing Packages
I’ve been a professional artist my entire life, working in oil, stone carving, and even within the entertainment industry—but today, my true passion is portrait work, especially pet portraits.
Here’s how it works:
Photo Submission: Send your favorite photos of your pet. Have a standout image? Let me know. Not sure? I’m happy to choose the best one to bring your portrait to life.
Preview & Approval: You’ll receive a preview before shipping to make sure everything looks just right.
Pricing:
Small (11 × 14): $175
Large (16 × 20): $240
Deposit: A 50% deposit secures your spot—$87.50 for 11 × 14 and $120 for 16 × 20. Additional pets are $85 each (larger sizes may affect pricing).
Shipping & Fees: Packaging, shipping, and any platform fees are additional. Your portrait ships only after final approval.
Framing (Optional): I offer affordable framing so your artwork arrives ready to hang. Frames typically range from $15–$60. If you prefer to choose your own, that’s perfectly fine—but I find pieces tend to get enjoyed sooner when they’re ready to hang right out of the box.
Thank you for considering my work—I’d love to create something truly special for you.
Your package arrives in a foam board box that is made for it's size only. I have never had an arrival been a problem, either with a frame or not.

🌟 About David Kimbrell
David is a pet portrait artist based in Milton, Florida, serving pet parents locally in Santa Rosa County and surrounding areas through PetWorks, one of the leading platforms for finding and hiring pet portrait artists across the United States. With a passion for capturing the personality, energy, and spirit of animal companions, David creates handcrafted portraits that go far beyond what a photograph can offer — each one a genuine one-of-a-kind work of art, made from your favorite photo and tailored to your exact vision.
Working with David: What to Expect
Hiring a pet portrait artist is a personal, collaborative experience from start to finish. It begins with a conversation. You'll share your favorite photos of your pet, discuss the style and medium that appeals to you, and talk through any specific ideas or requests you have in mind.
David takes the time to understand not just what your pet looks like, but who they are: their character, their quirks, and the qualities that make them yours.
From there, David gets to work. Most pet portrait artists on PetWorks share progress photos along the way, giving you the opportunity to provide feedback and request adjustments before the portrait is complete. Once you're happy with the result, your finished portrait is delivered to you — by mail or as a digital file, depending on the medium and your preference. Most portraits are completed within 2–6 weeks, though timelines vary by medium, complexity, and the artist's current schedule. Always confirm turnaround with David before booking, especially if you're working toward a gift deadline.

Tips for a Great Portrait
Getting the most out of your portrait starts with good reference photos. Clear, well-lit shots taken at your pet's eye level work best. Natural light is your friend — flash-heavy photos tend to flatten features and wash out color. Capture a few different expressions and angles if you can: a close-up of the face, a relaxed resting shot, and a playful or characteristic pose gives your pet portrait artist the most to work with.
Beyond photos, the more you can share about your pet's personality the better. Is your dog goofy and energetic, or calm and dignified? Does your cat have a signature expression? The small details you share help David bring genuine character to the portrait rather than simply reproducing a likeness. If you have a specific style, background, or size in mind, mention it upfront — most pet portrait artists welcome creative direction and will work with you to bring your vision to life.
As a general guide, pet portrait artist commissions in the US typically range from $75–$200 for small portraits, $200–$500 for medium, and $500–$1,200 or more for large or multi-pet works. Browse David's pricing packages above for specific rates.
