The same photograph

Start with a photo you already have

A Valentine's gift shouldn't be disposable. Your photo together becomes a painted keepsake that lasts well past February.

More staying power

More than a card

Flowers wilt within the week. A card gets read once and put away. A portrait made from a photo you both love stays out, a gift with more staying power than either.

The best reveal is recognition: the two of you, seen and kept.
It doesn't need anything else

A gift on its own, not an add-on

This works as the whole gift, not something meant to sit alongside another one. A portrait made from a photo you both love doesn't need a dinner reservation or a separate gift attached to feel complete.

Whether you want to add something smaller on top is entirely up to you, but nothing here requires pairing with anything else to feel like enough.

Kept simple

One photo of the two of you

Nothing complicated: send one photo you both love, and it becomes the portrait. Just the two of you, exactly as you are together right now.

Long distance, or just a busy day

If you can't be together on the day

Not every Valentine's Day lines up with being in the same place. A digital file can be shared as soon as it's delivered, opened on a phone from wherever you both are.

A framed print, canvas, or hand-painted piece can be handed over later, once you're together, or mailed ahead of time if the timing allows. Check shipping for current dates if the day itself matters to you.

Gift timing

Order by February

Order early: digital files arrive fastest if the date is close, while a framed print, canvas, or hand-painted piece needs 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 Valentine's Day?
Check the shipping page for current cutoff dates. A digital file is the fastest option if you're ordering close to the fourteenth.
Is this only for couples, or can it be a gift for someone else?
This page stays focused on couples. For a different relationship, our family portrait, Christmas portrait, or grandparent portrait pages may fit better.
Can I see a preview before buying?
Yes. You'll see a free preview before choosing a framed fine-art print, canvas, or hand-painted piece.
What if we don't have a recent photo together?
Any photo works, recent or not. Send the one you both love most.
