Process

1. Tell us what you’re looking for and we’ll answer any questions you may have.
2. Complete and send (via mail or fax) the order form along with a 50% deposit (please refer to Payment Methods above).
3. Select and send photographs that best express your child’s character. They may show a typical pose or expression. Or portray them in their favorite outfits (princesses, knights, fairies and cowboys welcome!) and/or with their favorite toys. Photographs should be no smaller than 4″ x 6″ and with the subject in focus whether in a digital or print format. You may also submit some of your child’s own drawings, hand/foot prints or pieces of fabric to be included in the collage. However, please keep in mind that not all the material submitted may be used in the artwork.
4. Review one or two composition sketches demonstrating the basic elements and images. Upon approval of one sketch, work on the final portrait begins.
5. The final artwork is posted online for overview. Now is the time to discuss any refinements.
6. Simply send the remaining payment upon receipt of the invoice and your child’s portrait will be shipped.
   Note: The best time to order reproductions, T-shirt transfers or place mats—which make excellent gifts for, say, grandparents—is while we still have the original artwork.
   
   If you feel timid about surprising someone with a portrait of their kid(s), GIFT CERTIFICATES are also available to offer the gift of a portrait based on their preferences.
