Hawkes’ Impossible Portraits
Impossible Pet Portraits
Every pet you love, together in one portrait – unmistakably themselves, somewhere no camera could ever go.
Up to seven cats and dogs. No people needed. No one has to hold still.
The photos they actually have
Everyone, together
Separate snapshots, taken whenever you happened to catch them, resolved into one portrait of everyone together.
No photo shoot. No one has to sit still.
Getting one pet to look at the camera is hard. Getting three at once, in the same room, in good light, is close to impossible. You don’t need to. Upload one ordinary photo of each pet, taken wherever and whenever you caught them, and we bring them all together in one designed scene, lit and composed as a single portrait.
Every pet, equal
There is no star of the show and no one stuck in the back. Every pet gets the same standing in the portrait: placed, sized and lit to be seen and recognized, the way a family portrait treats everyone in it.
Unmistakably them
The markings, the coat, the ears, the eyes, the build: the things that make your pet yours are what the portrait is built around. Before you see it, every pet in the portrait is checked against that pet’s own photo, and if one is off, the portrait is made again.
If your pet wears a collar, a bandana or a sweater in their photo, it comes along. The scene never dresses them up.
For the ones still with you, and the ones who aren’t
A pet you have lost can be in the portrait too, right beside the pets still at home, even from an older, imperfect snapshot.

When a rescue sent you here
If you came through an animal rescue’s link, $49.75 of your $199 framed print goes to that rescue. And it keeps going: every Hawkes’ Impossible Portraits purchase you make later with the same email address – holiday cards, prints, more portraits – sends 25% to that same rescue, for as long as Hawkes is in business.
Your portrait is yours
We keep no rights to your pets’ portrait. It stays private until you choose to share it, and we’ll only show it if you give us permission.
