Info regarding how to request custom portraits:

• When selecting your photo, keep in mind that photos taken in natural lighting from one side or another are best. Photos taken with a flash tend to wash out detail, color, and contrast. High resolution photos are preferred.
• Once you have emailed me a photo, I have confirmed it is of workable quality, and we have discussed medium and size, I will provide you a final quote and an estimated time to complete. I require payment of ½ of the total price prior to starting the portrait. I can provide periodic shots of the work in progress if you would like.
• When everything is finished, I will send you a photo of the completed piece for your approval. Upon payment of the balance (plus shipping if applicable) I will provide the artwork, either in person if local or shipped.
