Custom Chihuahua Portraits on Canvas

A custom chihuahua portrait from L'Atelier puts your own chihuahua into an original French scene, such as a Paris tea salon, printed on matte canvas in the USA. It costs from $99 frameless and framed from $139, and most canvases arrive 3 to 7 days after you order. A chihuahua has the biggest personality per pound of any dog, and the scene should match. Send at least 2 photos (up to 5) for a proof in 24 to 48 hours, with unlimited changes. Each scene canvas holds 1 dog, or bring up to 3 together with Le Sur-Mesure (from $178). Shipping is free in the US.

Examples. Your canvas is made with your own dog, from your photos.

Photographing your Chihuahua

Get all the way down: a chihuahua photographed from standing height becomes a pair of ears and a nose. Use daylight, no flash, which reflects in the eyes. Long coat chihuahuas: 1 photo that shows the fringe on the ears.

How it works

Choose a scene, send at least 2 photos of your dog, and we place your dog into it. You see a proof within 24 to 48 hours and can ask for as many changes as you like. Your canvas is printed in the USA, framed or frameless, and ships free in the US.

Questions

How much does a custom chihuahua portrait cost?

From $99 for a frameless 9 x 12 in canvas, or $139 framed. A small dog can still take a big canvas, up to 30 x 40 in. Shipping is free in the US.

Does a small dog look too small in the scenes?

No. Portrait scenes with a counter, a table or a cushion keep a small dog at the center.

Do you do long coat and short coat chihuahuas?

Yes, both. For a long coat, make 1 of your photos show the fringe on the ears, and adjust anything on the proof.

Can I include 2 or 3 chihuahuas?

Yes, with Le Sur-Mesure, from $178. Each scene canvas holds 1 dog; Le Sur-Mesure brings up to 3 dogs together in 1 scene, and you get 2 versions of it within 2 to 3 days. Send photos of each dog.

Can you make a chihuahua memorial portrait?

Yes. Older photos work, and the proof lets you check the ears, eyes and expression before anything is printed, with changes until it is right.

Is the dog in the examples my dog?

No. The dogs shown are examples. Your canvas is made with your own dog, from the photos you send.

Is a chihuahua portrait from L'Atelier a painting?

No. It is a painting-style portrait printed on canvas: your chihuahua placed into an original scene, printed on matte canvas in the USA.

How long does it take?

Your proof comes back within 24 to 48 hours. Once you approve it, printing and finishing take 2 to 3 days (3 to 5 from mid-November through December), and delivery another 1 to 3 days (2 to 4 in that season), so most canvases arrive 3 to 7 days after you order.
