Creating Your Keepsake
Questions About paw & NOSE Prints
How do I get my pet's paw & nose print (take photos)?
Getting a good photo is crucial to achieving a high quality keepsake.
Please follow these guidelines and submit your prints promptly for a quicker turnaround time. While it is possible to capture a pet’s print using ink or paint, it can be very messy! Flutterbye Prints recommends that you take a photo of your pet’s paw/nose rather than try to capture the print on paper.
If you prefer to try capturing your pet’s prints on paper, please refer to Using Your Own Ink and Paper.
- Check your camera to ensure that it is set at a high-quality mode(1080p or higher).
- Locate your pet in a well-lit area; outside in daylight is a great choice.
- Try to avoid heavy shadows over the paw/nose. Check that your head, camera or hand are not casting dark shadows. Paws are also best captured if the fur between the paws is trimmed short.
- Hold your camera steady so that the camera is in focus. It may be easiest to have someone helping you.
- Take several pictures to ensure you have some that are in focus. A recommended distance from the paw to your camera is about 8-10 inches.
- If you have multiple pets, please indicate which photo belongs to which pet.

What if my pet has passed away and I can’t take a photo of the paw and nose?
Sadly, our furry family members aren’t able to stay with us forever. If you have a clay imprint of your pet’s paw or nose you can take a photo of the imprint. Be sure that you take the photo in a well-lit area. Or you can also use the paw & nose prints show in the sample product photos.
You can submit a photo of your pet from the past, where you can clearly see the nose. If you are not sure if it will work, please send it to info@flutterbyeprints.com and the artist will review it and get back to you.
