The Custom Experience
Every portrait that we create is a special commission, made specifically with our client's family and home in mind. We design our artwork to reflect family connections, personalities, style, and to enhance the home in which it will hang. A lot of thought and careful planning goes into each portrait session, and it all starts with creating the concept.
During our design consultation, we get to know you and show you examples of our work in person so you can see and feel the quality of the pieces. We will also assist you with wardrobe choices, giving many suggestions to help you look your best. We are here to help you every step of the way, from the initial consultation to the final reveal of your cherished portraits.
