HOW IT STARTED
A few years ago…
I could not, to save my life, get it together to get family photos done for a holiday card. I created this style of portrait and ended up offering it to my email list—I’ve never looked back.
Commission a Portrait
A custom illustration of 1-10 subjects (animals and human!) in my signature, whimsical style. Your portrait order includes a print sized at 5×7” or 8×10” and the digital file for additional prints or gifts.
You’ll send in a reference photo after you place the order—a photo of all subjects grouped together is required, but I’m happy to update clothing choices or hair styles.
I’ll deliver a sketch for your approval within 2-3 weeks. Following sketch approval, I’ll add color and finalize for one final sign-off and your illustration will be on it’s way to you.
Check out the gallery below, read through my FAQs to understand common questions when ordering, and when you’re ready… order here!

Full-body portraits require a single reference photo of all of the subjects posed in the way that they will be depicted in the final portrait. Clothing can be updated.
Torso-up portraits can be completed from separate reference pictures of each subject. Focus on each person's hair and smile: clothing can be updated for portrait coherence!

Smiling eyes for everyone! This is a signature style that I've developed and happen to love. It's OK if you don't, but I promise it gets weird when we mess with it and will kindly refer you to Etsy to find a style that resonates with you.
