Thank you so much for trusting me to create a keepsake for your family. As a mother, I know how precious children are and how quickly they grow and change.

The portrait you’ve purchased will be 11”x14” which is the perfect life-like size and very easy to frame. It will be created on white heavy acid free watercolor paper. This type of paper should not fade or become discolored over time. The background of the portrait will be left plain unless we have decided otherwise. The time to completion depends solely on my availability. Turn around usually will be 2-3 weeks after I receive your photos. If you need the painting by a specific date, just ask and I will do my best to accommodate.

Please send 3-5 photographs of your child to emily.drew.mash@gmail.com

Some things to consider when choosing photos:

  • candid shots capture personality better than staged “cheese” smiles

  • send photos that have not been edited with lots of filters

  • choose photos that include your child’s specific feature (like dimples) if you want them visible in the portrait

  • I will choose the final photo to use for the portrait, so make sure you like the images!

  • any other questions, just ask! Use the photos below for ideas.

Once you submit the photos I will choose one and create the portrait from it. I will contact you when complete and arrange shipping or pick up if you’re local.

Thank you again! I am truly honored to create a custom portrait of your child.
