Your story, your style.
Every commission begins with a person, relationship or occasion worth celebrating. From childhood adventures and coming-of-age birthdays to family tributes and much-loved animals, we bring character, memories and original poetry together in a personal piece of art.
Choose expressive, cartoon-like storybook characters with the lively feel of an animated film, or a photorealistic approach with natural-looking people and settings. The visual style, mood and level of fantasy are agreed around your brief.
The Commissioning Process
01
Tell Us About Them
Share your family's unique story, personality, and favourite memories to inspire your bespoke narrative.
02
Share Photographs
Provide clear photographs of the people, animals and meaningful details you would like us to reflect in your portrait.
03
We Create
We bring your vision to life through an individually directed creative process, combining your personal story, original poetry and a bespoke illustration.
04
You Approve
Review the final illustration and accompanying poem. Once approved, we move to the final stage of production.
05
Final Artwork
Once approved, your completed portrait is prepared as a lasting piece to treasure, including one professionally framed A3 fine art print as standard, with additional copies separately quoted.
What your commission includes
Our standard Story Portrait commission brings your personal brief to a finished piece to keep or give.
Additional copies and options
You may order additional framed or unframed copies of the same approved artwork for family, friends or another home. Alternative print sizes and digital files can also be discussed. These options are quoted separately and are not automatically included in the standard commission. Please tell us the quantities and presentation you would like when enquiring.
Ownership and personal use
The physical prints you purchase are yours. We retain any copyright we hold in the finished artwork and poem unless a different arrangement is agreed in writing. Your commission includes permission to display and gift the supplied prints and to share images of your portrait for personal, non-commercial purposes. Commercial reproduction, copies for resale or a transfer of copyright require a separate written agreement. Rights in photographs and other material you supply remain with their existing owners. We use your photographs or finished portrait in our portfolio only with your separate permission.
A personal creative brief — We agree the subject, story, mood and important details together.
A bespoke portrait and personalised poem — A composed illustration and accompanying poem developed around your people, animals, places and memories, brought together in the final artwork.
A private proof and refinement — You review a digital proof and have one comprehensive refinement round before approving the final design.
One framed A3 fine art print — A professionally framed A3 fine art print of the approved artwork is included as standard. A3 refers to the print size (297 × 420 mm); the finished outer frame size depends on the mount and frame agreed.
Agreed presentation and delivery — Paper, frame finish, mount, delivery arrangements and the full price are confirmed in your written quote before you commit.
A clear approval stage — Printing follows your approval of the final artwork and poem.
Private by design.
We treat every commission with the utmost discretion. This studio is exclusively for adult customers, and all family images shared are used solely for the creation of your bespoke heirloom. We never share, sell, or publish these intimate stories without your explicit, separate permission.
