The details that you provide here are essential! Send this form to the address at the top of the page, along with your photographs and any other inspirational or style ideas.

Please attach the photograph(s) for consideration:
2.
Tell me about the subject(s) in the portrait.
Give me an idea of the personality and qualities that we’re trying to
capture in each person or pet. Please
include any special details or stories that would help me to get a feeling for
the person/pet or home.
3.
Are there special objects (such as clothing details/jewelry or special
flowers/plants for home portraits) that you’d like to include?
Consider any symbolism or special details that might make the portrait
even more special to your family. Closer
photographs of special clothing, jewelry, etc. are very helpful in establishing
these details in the finished piece:
4.
Tell me about your style, favorite paintings/artist, etc.
Please feel free to send additional photos of your home and even of
objects, ‘inspiration pieces’, or examples of the style of art that you
like. (I have based portrait style
on everything from the Old Masters to the cover of a 1960’s baby book.):
