"How you can create unique and personal anniversary gifts, birthday gifts, wedding gifts
and more..."

You’ve probably had trouble in the past finding the right gift for a special person in your life!

That’s why I've created this web site.  You’re about to learn about a totally new idea for gift giving that is (1) extremely personal (2) shows your deep appreciation for the person receiving the gift (3) now easier than ever to create and (4) is within reach of most budgets.  No matter who the recipient is, they will be touched and moved when they see this gift.

The gift idea I'm talking about is a custom portrait made from your favorite photographs.

Great gifts are personal and show a deep understanding and appreciation for the unique value that the other person has for you.  Ordinary gifts that you buy in stores just can’t offer this.  You could make a gift yourself, by hand, but most of us don’t have the time or the talent to create a gift that we’ll really be happy with. 

A custom portrait made from your favorite photographs is the perfect solution for this problem.  You provide the inspiration with your photograph selection and instructions for the artist, and the artist provides the skills to make that inspiration a reality.

For me, this idea was so powerful that I committed myself to creating a web site that would describe this concept to anyone interested in giving unique and personal gifts.  The result is the site you see today.

Memorable Gifts for Special People

For your spouse or significant other you could capture:   · The moment when the two of you first met   · A special moment in your life   · A unique expression or pose that you love and wish to capture   · A special moment with your children   · A combination of poses and expressions that shows the range of his/her complex character   · A pose of him/her working at something they love   For a father or mother you could recreate:   · A special moment between parent and child   · A special moment in the couples’ life: their wedding day, a special anniversary, or some other significant event or milestone in their life.  You could also do a combination of special moments and arrange these all within one portrait    · If one of the parents is deceased, a portrait of the deceased spouse can be very special for the living partner   Family portrait ideas:   · A portrait of family members at any point in time from multiple photographs.  If the family is grown, and you regret not having a portrait done when they were younger, you can now go back in time.   · A portrait of special family milestones: graduations, weddings, the purchase of a new house, a move to a new location, special vacations, and religious milestones (communions, bar mitzvahs, etc.)   · Capture the joy of a child after a significant accomplishment (i.e. sporting event, academic achievement, etc.)   Pet portraits:   · Remember a beloved family pet   · If you have a competitive animal, capture the animal at the height of its glory   Portraits of homes, buildings, or other special places:   · Remember a place that has meaning for you or for a loved one:  the place you got married, a beloved house, a favorite vacation spot, a special place you had as child and now rarely get a change to visit, etc.   Car portraits:   · If your special person is a collector or enthusiasts of cars, motorcycles or boats, a portrait of his favorite vehicle can be very special   Other:   · A rendering of a special object or image which has special meaning in your life

The possibilities are truly endless for anniversary gifts, wedding gifts, birthday gifts, graduation gifts and many other special occasions !  The beauty of a custom portrait is that each one is a unique creation made for each individual.  What is special to you?  What is important to you?   What do you find beautiful and special in your life? What gives your life meaning?  What are your values?  What are the people/places/things that you love and what do you love about them?  No other gift can capture these things like a custom portrait.

Placing your order is easy.  The four steps in the process are outlined below:

	1.	Decide:  The type of portrait closest to your needs for Size and Pricing.
	2.	Give permission to begin portrait: By sending photos and 1/2 the commission fee.
	3.	Send In Your Photos:  The next step is to send us the photos that will be the starting point for your portrait.  For your convenience, there are three ways to send in your photos.  Traditional photographs should be sent by mail or courier (they will be returned with the finished portrait).  Digital images can sent by email.
	4.	Approve the final portrait:  Before the portrait is shipped, you will be sent a digital image of the portrait by email for your approval.  Only after you’re completely satisfied with the portrait will it be shipped. The balance is due with your approval.
