Identify a photo.

We will work together to select a reference photo that allows me to capture your child’s likeness.

I will work from one main photo, and use additional photos for supplemental information.

Foundation sketch.

For every pastel portrait, I draw a two-dimensional base sketch in red drafting pencil to ensure I’ve captured your child’s features accurately.

Portrait review.

Throughout the process, I will send photos of your child’s portrait for your review. If you’re local to Richmond, you’re welcome to visit my studio and review your child’s portrait(s) in person.

Delivery.

Once you are satisfied with your child’s portrait, I will either deliver the portrait(s) to you (if you’re local), or meet you at my favorite frame shop here in Richmond.

Shipping can be arranged for customers greater than 60 miles outside of the Richmond area.
