Family Portraits

Custom family portraits preserve generational legacy and celebrate life's most meaningful milestones.

A family portrait gathers those you love into a single enduring work. Subjects photographed separately, or across different years, can be composed together into one unified painting.

Your portrait advisor helps you plan the commission and oversees it through to completion.

What to prepare

Preparing your photographs.

Photographs
Several clear photographs of each subject, in good light, from the front and at a slight angle.
Placement
Where the portrait will hang, and whether the setting is formal or informal.
Attire & tone
Any preference for attire, background, and the character of the portrait.
