Photo Selection
How does the photo selection process work?
Selecting the right photo can be one of the most difficult parts of the process and we are here to help! After you have placed your order, we will have e-mail us 3-5 photos and we will let you know which photos would work best for a portrait. We can also provide suggestions on the types of photos that work well for your particular occasion and recipient. We will guide you through every step of the process and we offer a free photo consultation.
When do I upload a photo?
You can start by filling out a photo consultation, you will immediately receive an automated email that you can respond to with your photos attached. Alternatively you can order your portrait first where you will also receive the automated email which you would reply to with your images.
What are the photo quality requirements?
Generally, an extremely high resolution photo isn’t required to begin your portrait, it just needs to have enough detail for our artists to capture the essence of the people in the photograph(not overly pixelated). If you are not sure if your desired photo will work for a portrait, simply fill out a photo consultation and we will let you know our thoughts
Can you combine multiple photographs into one portrait?
Yes! Although we can’t guarantee it will always work to combine photos together, we have done it in the past and most of time they can be combined to create the best custom portrait for your needs
Can I have the recipient select the photo?
Yes! You can always order a gift certificate for someone and have them finish the process with us!
