Looking for a meaningful way to preserve a special moment – even after the event has passed? My studio paintings and custom commissions transform your favorite photos into timeless, story-driven artwork designed to become heirlooms in your home.
These paintings are created entirely in the studio rather than live at your event, making them perfect for wedding portraits, anniversary gifts, pet portraits, people portraits, and other deeply personal commissions.
Studio Paintings & Custom Art Commissions
Types of Studio Paintings I Offer
- Wedding Paintings from Photos – Ideal for couples who missed booking live wedding painting or want an heirloom portrait after their celebration.
- Anniversary & Vow Renewal Paintings – A meaningful way to commemorate milestones.
- Pet Portraits – Hand-painted artwork celebrating beloved animals with warmth and personality.
- People Portraits – Individual, family, or generational portraits created from photographs.
- Memorial & Legacy Paintings – Thoughtful commissions honoring loved ones.
What Is a Studio Painting?
A studio painting is a fully custom, hand-painted artwork created from your photographs. Using the same romantic, storybook-inspired style as my live wedding paintings, I focus on emotion, atmosphere, and meaningful detail – not stiff posing or exact photo replication.
Each piece is thoughtfully refined to feel soft, timeless, and deeply personal, whether you’re celebrating a wedding, honoring a beloved pet, or commissioning a portrait of someone meaningful in your life.
What’s Included in a Studio Painting Commission
Every studio painting includes:
- A fully custom hand-painted artwork created from your photos
- Thoughtful composition and storytelling refinement
- Professional acrylic paints on artist-grade canvas
- One-on-one collaboration throughout the process
- A finished heirloom-quality piece ready for framing
How the Commission Process Works
1. Inquiry & Consultation – You share your vision, photos, and timeline.
2. Artwork Planning – I design a composition that reflects your story and setting.
3. Studio Painting – Your artwork is hand-painted with care and attention to detail.
4. Final Delivery – Your finished painting is shipped or hand-delivered locally when available.
Turnaround times vary by season and commission size.
Studio Painting vs. Live Wedding Painting
Live wedding paintings are created on-site during your wedding celebration, offering guests a real-time art experience and a one-of-a-kind keepsake created as the day unfolds.
Studio paintings are created privately in the studio after your event – offering greater flexibility in scheduling, subject matter, and composition, while maintaining the same storytelling style and craftsmanship.

My style is soft, romantic, and storybook-inspired, blending fine art, illustration, and emotional storytelling into heirloom-quality paintings meant to live with you for decades.
Commission Availability
Studio commissions are accepted on a limited basis each year to ensure every piece receives thoughtful attention and care.
