A one-of-a-kind way to watch your special someone grow—on canvas. Be it child, pet, parent, or chosen family— Grow with Me IS A LONG-TERM PORTRAIT THAT EVOLVES WITH YOU. 

​

​1. Start With One Special Moment

​

Choose a moment to begin--newborn, first birthday, kindergarten, adoption day, wedding day--whatever feels meaningful. I’ll create a custom, hand-painted portrait on canvas that captures your subject with care, artistry, and intention.

​

2. Add New Chapters Over Time

​

As your family or story evolves, you can commission updates to the same canvas--each one a new layer of meaning. Think of it like rings on a tree—your canvas grows with your subject(s), telling their story through art. You decide when and how to add each new portrait.

​

3. Custom Every Step of the Way

 

Every “Grow With Me” portrait is tailored to you. You choose:

• The palette and aesthetic (realistic, stylized, soft, playful, etc.)

• The canvas size and how much room you want to grow into

• The frequency of updates (yearly, milestone-based, spontaneous)

• Whether to include symbols, text, quotes, or setting changes

• How many people or pets to include, and when to add them

This is your story—told your way.

​

4. Consult First, Commit When Ready

​

Because every portrait is so customized, I offer a free consultation to talk through things like:

• Canvas size and how much growth room to plan

• Palette/style options

• Number of subjects and/when they'll be added

• Milestone timing (e.g., yearly, birthdays, school years, special events)

• Background evolution – Does it stay simple or grow too?

• Inclusion of text or symbolism – Names, quotes, favorite objects, etc.

• Budget range and payment options 

• Storage and handling – Who keeps the canvas between updates?​

​

After we chat, I’ll send you a clear, customized quote based on your choices.

​

What Does It Cost?

​

Initial Canvas & First Portrait

​

​​

Each Grow With Me portrait begins as a standalone, display-worthy painting. It's a complete piece you can hang and love from day one.

• Small (10x20") – starts at $300

Ideal for a single subject with 2–3 future updates

• Medium (16x24") – starts at $450

Great for more detailed portraits or 3–5 progressions

• Large (20x30” and up) – starts at $600+

Best for multiple subjects or long-termstorytelling.

​

 Tip: The more updates or subjects you want to include, the larger your canvas should be. We can discuss how much room to “grow into” during your consultation.

​

 Future Add-On Portraits (Updates)

​

Each new portrait is painted directly onto the original canvas. 

• Simple update (head & shoulders, minimal change) – $100–$200

• Full update (new pose, setting, or major life stage shift) – $250–$400

• Sibling or multiple-subject additions – quoted based on complexity

You pay per update. There's no subscription or contract--just commission each chapter when it's meaningful to you. 

​

Optional Extras

• Custom backgrounds or symbols (e.g., hobbies, quotes, favorite toys)

• Priority timelines for gift-giving or events

​

Flexible & Personalized

• Free consultations help you shape a plan that fits your goals and budget

• Payment plans available for both initial and future updates

• You're always in control--portraits are added when and how you choose

• Clear, upfront pricing with no hidden fees

​

I know trusting an artist with something so personal is a big deal. That’s why everything starts with a conversation, not a contract.
