Ordering an Heirloom Portrait

If you want more options such as additional subjects, a custom background, coordinating the design with your décor, creating a branded business mascot, and prints on paper, canvas and merch, use the Heirloom Portraits order form. Choose your options, upload your photo(s) and write a brief or detailed description of what you have in mind. I'll email you to discuss the details. Once we come to an agreement on the art and the price, I'll send you a PayPal invoice. 

​

Uploading your photos

Photos with sharp focus, adequate lighting and a good angle are the ideal. If I foresee any difficulties with your photos, I'll work with you to find a good solution, such as using a less detailed style or shooting new photos. 

 

Review and revisions

For an Essential Portrait:​  I'll create a rough sketch of the portrait, showing the composition and colors, and email you a proof for your review. You can have one round of revisions to this. Then, after I finish the portrait I will send you a proof for review. You can request one free round of reasonable revisions (tweaking details.)  If you want a major overhaul of the piece, I can do that for an additional fee.

​

After you approve the final proof, I will send you a link to download the finished art file. This file will be an rgb jpeg at 300dpi, suitable for printing in any size up to 24 in. on the longest side. If you want a larger print, let me know. 

 

For an Heirloom Portrait:  I’ll start by creating a rough layout of the portrait, indicating colors and composition, for your review. At this point you can give feedback and request one round of revisions.​ After you approve this stage, I’ll create the finished portrait and send you a proof for your final review. You can request up to 2 rounds of revisions. Major revisions are available for an additional charge.​

​​

How long does it take?

An Essential Portrait usually takes less than a week. If I have a backlog of commissions, I will give you an estimated completion date when I confirm your order. If you need it faster, I'll do it for a rush fee if I can. 

​

For Heirloom Portraits, my time to complete will depend on the amount of work involved. After we discuss and agree on the particulars, I'll send you an invoice with the price and an estimated time to create the piece, including initial layout, finished art and potential revisions. If you're also ordering prints, you can expect an additional week or so for the printer to complete and ship your order.

​

Printing Options

You can get prints on paper or gallery-wrapped canvas in a range of standard sizes. When you order, you can choose image proportions (portrait, landscape or square) and a print size. See the size and price guide here.

 

You can also get extra large prints and wall murals. Select options on the order form, and I'll email you with the details.
