Meet the artist

A pastel portrait is an original drawing of your child. It is made by hand in soft pastel from a finished heirloom portrait. Each piece is drawn on archival paper and framed in our frame shop. It is a one of a kind heirloom that no camera can make.

A Well-Loved Sketch is a pencil drawing of your child with their favorite lovey. It is drawn by hand from a simple photograph. It preserves the companion they will not remember carrying.

• You choose a finished portrait from your session.
• Your photographer sends the portrait to the artist, who accepts the commission and reserves your place.
• The artist begins the piece and shares it for your approval before it is finished.
• The finished piece is framed by hand in our frame shop and then sent home to you.
