Portraits of children, painted by hand

Small faces, captured before they grow up.

Children change quickly, and the photo that feels ordinary today is the one you'll hold on to. A portrait gives that moment a permanent place on the wall.

There's no sitting and nobody has to stay still: we paint from your photos. A clear daylight photo with sharp eyes works best, and a phone photo is fine.

Watercolour suits children particularly well for its lightness. Oil gives more depth, and it's a good choice for brothers and sisters together.

In the room you share most

A 20 × 30 inch portrait of the children draws the eye without taking over the wall.

The room is computer-generated, shown at about true scale. The portrait is a real painting from our studio.

Good to know

Do you need a professional photo?

No. A phone photo is fine if the face is sharp when you zoom in. Daylight works best.

Can you paint brothers and sisters together from separate photos?

Yes. We can combine up to five photos in one portrait.

Do you keep my child's photos?

Your photos are seen only by your artist and the team who check the portrait, and they're deleted within 30 days of delivery unless you ask us to keep them.
