As we plan your portrait, here are some things to consider:
Will the portrait include one person or more in the same piece?
If just one subject, would you like a customized portrait collage(see collage ideas below) created using different photographs?
Do you want black & white or color?
how to select a photo
Use an image you love as you'll cherish the final art for years to come.
Artistic license allows me to make minor edits to some images and I can likely repair minor flaws from a photo. (Example: Someone looking in a different direction.) We can explore each image and your desired edits to see what's possible.
Clear, high resolution photos are best. If you have questions about image quality, please contact me and we can review.
designing A custom portrait
I can design a unique portrait collage utilizing different photographs and our possibilities are truly endless! Ideas include:
A portrait of a student featuring a close up with smaller drawings highlighting his/her sports or academic accomplishments along with a school logo.
Combine images of siblings, cousins, friends, pets, locations, objects, etc.
pet portraits
Pets hold a special place in our hearts and a portrait will keep them in our homes forever. Pet portraits make heartfelt gifts to memorialize them.
Pets can also be included in portrait collages.
portraits of places
Home is where the heart is.
Let me capture your family home, summer cottage or a location that is special to you.
These portraits make wonderful gifts for yourself or someone you love and are perfect to hang in the home or office.
