Question 1

How much does it cost?

Accepted Answer

Custom portraits range between $40-100+ depending on type, size, details, add-ons, etc. Once you fill out the "Let's create something beautiful together" form, this will let me know what you're interested in. From there, you will receive a text message from me to go over pricing & things of that nature!

Question 2

Do I have to pay in full?

Accepted Answer

No. You only need to put a 25% deposit upfront of the portrait of your choice, and you can pay the rest upon receiving your email picture of your finished painting! If you decide there is nothing to be fixed, you can go ahead with the remainder of the depost! :)

Question 3

How long does it take for you to complete a painting?

Accepted Answer

Usually around 1 - 4 business days. I also work a part-time job 3 days out of the week, so on my days off, I'll do my best to get it to you in a reasonable timeframe! :)

Question 4

I'm iffy about committing to one of your paintings. How can I trust that it will turn out good before committing?

Accepted Answer

25% is due upfront, so you don't have to pay the full-price! You are not obligated to pay the rest if you decide to not follow through. Just be aware that you will be only getting an email of the painting, and I'll do my best to make it high-res enough for you to see clearly.

Question 5

What sizes are your portraits?

Accepted Answer

9x12, except for the newborn calendar portraits. The newborn calendar portraits will be 1/2 the the standard size of the regular 9x12 portraits :)

Question 6

What materials/medium do you use to paint with?

Accepted Answer

I use watercolors and colored pencils to paint your one-of-a-kind portrait. You could say I'm a mixed media artist, but I mainly use watercolor. I love using colored pencils for the hair to make it seem more alive, as well as some of the facial features. :) Everything will be on watercolor pressed paper, acid-free.

Question 7

Do you paint any details, add-ons, or background elements?

Accepted Answer

The only details I paint is on the subject of the person or pet. So if you have patterned clothing, I do my best to mimic that pattern in the way I paint. I don't typically paint detailed backgrounds, but I add text to your painting free of charge so long as it's only a sentence and nothing more! (Haha)

For add-ons, I do add-on extra humans and pets for a slight upcharge! :)

Question 8

Do you ever do free gifts or giveaways? Like a trial and run process?

Accepted Answer

Yes! I'm currently doing a limited slot for 5 brides who are interested in custom wedding portraits. This will only run through the end of December 31, 2024, though, before the New Year hits! :)

Question 9

How does shipping work?

Accepted Answer

I'm still working out the kinks with that. For right now, I'm offering locals free pickup or meetup if you're in the Jackson-Metro, MS area & for non-locals (U.S. only) priority shipping of a flat rate of $10.75 through USPS!

Of course with giveaways and free things of that nature, I'll provide free shipping as able to do so!

Question 10

How will I receive my finished painting?

Accepted Answer

Your painting will be wrapped and protected in a clear cellophane sleeve, as well as matted with a white backboard and a white matted frame for a sleek and elegant look :)
