A memorial portrait from one photo

Start with one photo of them. A faded print or a black-and-white snapshot is fine. We turn it into an oil portrait or a watercolor, or place them in warm light above the clouds, ready to frame.

How it worksFrom photo to portrait

One clear picture where their face is visible. Scans of old prints and black-and-white photos are fine. You also add a family photo to put them in, because every order starts with one.

Where people put them

At a family gathering

A large print on an easel at a reunion, a memorial day or an anniversary dinner.

Above the mantel

An oil portrait in a heavy frame, where the old snapshot used to sit.

For the family

The same portrait printed for each brother and sister, so everyone has one at home.

On the anniversary

A soft watercolor for the date you always mark together.

Questions

Is it painted by hand?

No. Every portrait is made by AI from your photo, in the style you choose, and delivered as a high-resolution digital file. You can print it at any print shop, on paper or canvas.

How many portraits do I get?

The photo ($29) includes one portrait, Keepsake set ($49) includes three, and Whole family ($79) includes every style. You choose the styles after your previews.

Will it still look like them?

A clear photo where their face is visible gives the closest likeness. We keep their face, age, hair and glasses as they are in the photo. Paid plans include free redos.

Can I use an old or black-and-white photo?

Yes. Faded prints, scanned photos and black-and-white pictures all work. Oil and watercolor portraits come back in colour.

How large can I print it?

Each portrait is upscaled for print, sharp enough for an 8×10 or 11×14 in frame. Portraits are tall (3:4), which suits most frames.

Can I paint them together with the family?

Yes. The Family oil painting and Family watercolor styles repaint the whole family photo with them in it. Examples are on our family paintings page.
