One fantastic reason to use photographs as source material for capturing your child's image is that the snapshots you take yourself offer a candid, informal view of your son or daughter where he or she lives and plays. The same holds true for your pet or your home. Other benefits are:
  • Historical photos of grown children can be used to create a painting today
  • Multiple photographs can be combined into a single image
  • Unwanted visual information can be left out
  • Backgrounds can be invented
  • Black and white photographs can be rendered in sepia tones
  • Indoor photos can be made to look as if they were photographed outside
  • Fanciful ideas can be explored, such as your child as a mermaid or superhero
  • Two children can be painted in a playful scene together
  • Each child can have his or her own portrait, painted as a set with similar coloration
  • Anything goes, from the traditional close-up to non-traditional, action-oriented shots!
Visit the portfolio page to view several different approaches to portraiture and the source photographs.

I will be pleased to schedule a complimentary consultation to discuss your favorite images. We can either meet at my studio, where you can view current examples of my work in person, or at your home, where I am happy to offer suggestions on location, content, treatment, and framing options for your piece. I enjoy designing each piece to perfectly complement your home decor, as well as providing a meaningful heirloom that will offer many, many years of enjoyment. If you don't have that perfect photo in mind, but have an idea you'd like to explore, consider my photo shoot option, which is only $75 with the purchase of the portrait. I love what I do, and would be pleased and excited to create your custom oil portrait.

Yours truly,

Rebecca Goldberg Oliver
