Whether commemorating loved family members, a wedding or a close relationship, a partner oil portrait is a wonderful way to celebrate two people.

If you’re planning to commission a portrait, we can discuss your ideas, get to know each other, and arrange a portrait photoshoot with the two of you, or work from an existing idea or photo you already have.

We will decide on the final composition of the portrait together. I will then confirm the timeframe for your portrait, and you can expect to hear from me as the work progresses.

Once complete, your couples portrait will be yours to have and treasure forever.

We really love the portrait which has settled onto its space here perfectly... I find my journey across the landing is much delayed as I step back to admire the portrait!
