How to Order

After your purchase is complete, I will contact you by email to gather the details needed to begin your portrait.

Please send:

• Clear photos of each person and/or pet you would like included.
• Any specific requests or details you'd like incorporated.

The photos you provide will be used as the reference for hairstyles, clothing, and overall likeness unless otherwise discussed. Please include any changes you'd like made when sending your reference photos.

The Process

Once I have your photos and details, I will create an initial sketch of your portrait and send it to you for approval. This is your opportunity to request minor adjustments before painting begins.

After the sketch has been approved, I will complete your final painting. Once the artwork is finished, additional changes are not included and any requested revisions may require an additional fee.

If you would like wording included beneath your portrait (such as "Our Family" or "The Smiths"), please include the exact text in your email.

Turnaround Time

Turnaround times vary throughout the year. During busy seasons, I may be booking 2–3 months in advance. Please feel free to message me before ordering if you have a specific timeline in mind.

Each portrait is created with care and intention, making it a meaningful keepsake or thoughtful gift for birthdays, weddings, anniversaries, memorials, or any special occasion.
