Start with a photo you already have
Send a favourite photo before the holidays, and it comes back painted into a gift that outlasts everything else under the tree.
An example of the transformation.
Not another candle
Stocking stuffers get used up. Gift cards get spent. Candles run out by February. A portrait made from a photo they love stays on the wall long after the season ends, the gift that doesn't get forgotten by January.
Who it's for
This isn't limited to a partner. It works for parents, grandparents, a friend, or a coworker gift exchange, anyone you have a photo of that you'd like to give as something lasting.
Whose photo to send
The portrait doesn't have to be of the person receiving the gift. It might be a photo of their partner, their kids or grandkids, the whole family, or even their pet, whichever subject they'd actually want to see kept this way. Start by deciding who the portrait is of, not just who it's for.
Once you know the subject, choose the clearest photo you have that still feels like them, over the most recent or most flattering one. That's the one to send.
Matching the finish to their space
A hand-painted oil or a large canvas suits a home with the wall space to display it well. A smaller framed print fits a smaller space just as easily, without being any less considered as a gift.
Timing works differently from space: a digital file skips physical shipping entirely and is the fastest option regardless of size, while any physical finish, canvas or framed print, needs the current production and shipping lead time. Space is what separates a large piece from a small one. Time is what separates digital from physical.
Order by this date
Order with enough time before the holiday: digital files arrive fastest, while framed prints, canvas, and hand-painted pieces need more time to produce and ship. See shipping for current cutoff dates.

Frequently asked questions
- How late can I order and still get it before Christmas?
- Check the shipping page for current cutoff dates. Digital files are the fastest option if you're ordering close to the holiday.
- Who is this a good gift for besides a spouse or partner?
- Parents, grandparents, friends, and coworkers all work well. Any photo you love can become the gift.
- Can I preview it before choosing the final medium and size?
- Yes. You'll see a free preview first, then choose a digital file, framed fine-art print, canvas, or hand-painted piece.
- Do you offer gift wrapping or a way to present it as a surprise?
- A digital file can be shared privately so you control the reveal. A framed print, canvas, or hand-painted piece arrives to you first, so you can wrap it yourself before giving it.
