A blue bandana on the boardwalk at golden hour
Malibu is the quietest preset we make. No hat, no joke, no prop - one bandana and the best twenty minutes of light in the day.

What is in the scene
Your dog wears a light blue bandana on a beach boardwalk at golden hour, ocean behind. It is the closest thing in the catalogue to a straight portrait: the styling is a single accessory and the rest is location and light.
The photo that gets the best Malibu
With nothing to hide behind, this preset shows the quality of your upload more plainly than the busier ones do. A sharp, well-lit, close photo is worth the extra thirty seconds of scrolling here. Golden-hour photos of your own are a bonus but not required - the light in the scene is drawn.
The full list is on the photo guidelines page - good light, face visible, one pet, and nothing covering the eyes.
How it prints
Warm gold against pale blue is a naturally balanced pair, so this artwork is the least fussy in the collection about what it sits on. Chambray keeps it soft and beachy; true navy makes the golden light look like the last of the sun. It is the preset to pick if you want something wearable rather than loud.
16 garment colours are switchable in the preview, so you can see this artwork on any of them before you decide.

Malibu questions
Is this the same as Sunset Cruise?＋
No. Malibu is a boardwalk portrait with a bandana; Sunset Cruise puts your dog in retro sunglasses in a vintage convertible parked by the ocean. Same hour of the day, different scene.
Will an all-white or all-black dog work?＋
Yes, and golden light is generous to both - it puts warmth into a white coat and separates a black one from the background.
How many previews do I get?＋
Three a day, account or not, and every one of them is free. Nothing prints until you approve.
