There is something so meaningful about having your loved ones captured forever with a drawing in pencil.

All you need to do is choose your favourite photo and then I will draw the photo for you. Whether its your babies, loved ones who have passed away, or a cherished pet, these are a beautiful and sentimental gift for any occasion.

People always say there are happy tears when they gift these drawings. This truly is one of a kind and made just for you.

About Your Portrait

Each piece is hand drawn from the photo you provided using graphite pencils (4B is my fave and good eraser!) on archival quality illustration board. Your art comes with a simple black frame with white matting.

If your photo is from an original photo – you will need to drop the photo off (I will return it with your finished art) or you will need to scan the image using a good quality scanner. We can chat about this before you order.

Prices and Dimensions

Prices vary depending on the size and the number subjects (i.e. people or pets) in the photo. Here is a general idea of the cost.

5″ x 7″ (8″ x 10″ framed): 1 subject – $159, 2 subjects – $189
8″ x 10″ (11″ x 14″ framed): 1 subject – $199, 2 subjects – $229
11″ x 14″ (16″ x 20″ framed): 1 subject – $279, 2 subjects – $369

*Custom sizes available upon request. Please inquire for a quote on any drawing with 4 or more people/pets.

Shipping and Pick Up

If you require shipping, additional charges will apply. Estimates will be provided based on location, size, and weight of your artwork. I currently only ship within Canada.

Pick ups are at my home in Barrhaven (Ottawa), close to the 416 and Fallowfield. I will send you my address when your order is ready for pick up.

Turn Around Time

About 5-7 weeks before shipping. Rush options available upon request.

Ready to place your order?

To purchase an illustration, please email me first to share the photo and make sure that the resolution is high enough.

High resolution images work best, but I can capture the details even from an old printed photo. I’d just like to be able to go over the details before you purchase.

I will then ask for a $80 plus tax deposit – I can send you a link to pay online or I accept etransfers to [email protected] . The balance can be paid at or before pick up.
