Why was my family chosen for a spot?

Congratulations, you’ve been invited! We are celebrating our 20th year in the Treasure Valley by capturing 100 families’ unique stories and loving connections in fine art portraits. Yours was chosen because your family is amazing! This experience is extremely popular and these limited spots will be taken up very quickly.

What’s included?

Your booking includes: a full length session with our expert portrait artist plus a $1000 portrait credit!

Is there any additional cost to me?

No—the fully refundable booking fee all comes back to you the day of your appointment—it just holds your child’s spot plus gets you everything listed above! Most people do fall in love with these stunning images and wish to purchase more, yet you are not obligated to do so.  If you do decide you'd like to invest in our work, we can apply portrait credit toward your artwork order.

What if my children are in school and our work schedules conflict with your appointment times?  

Family is the most important thing to us--your family and ours, therefore, weekday appointments end at 5pm so that our team can spend time with their families! Most of our parents will take their children out of school for this very special experience in order to take advantage of this once-in-a-lifetime gift. Of course if a weekday is not possible, simply secure your prime time/weekend spot with a non-refundable deposit that can all be used towards your custom portrait order!

Do you have a price list? How much are additional portraits? Can I just buy digital files?

All of our portrait collections are are custom so we price everything during your viewing and selection appointment as you choose your sizes, finishes, albums and framing options. We offer a range of portraits from large scale exquisite hand painted portraits to more modest sizes beginning at $500. Our artwork is definitely an investment and many families spend $1000 on up. Our wall portraits are finished like fine art, therefore priced like fine art and begin at $1000. This is certainly not within the reach of every budget, yet there is never any obligation to purchase and we do offer easy payment plans to help parents get what they love most. We specialize in heirloom portrait that last a lifetime! When you see the beauty of these pieces, you will understand why we do not offer digitals, but will give them as gifts with a wall portrait purchase.  

Who should I include in my portrait?  

Your immediate family! Keep in mind that trying to “squeeze” extended family and relatives into a portrait will take away from the emotion and connection we are known to capture for those that are closest and most dearest to you. For larger groups and extended family portraits ask about our composite portrait art!

What about the dog too?

If you are considering bringing your dog, keep in mind this portrait is about capturing expression, so only bring one that won’t be distracting/disruptive, and we recommend including only dogs that truly characterize this season of your family’s lives (usually fur babies that have been with you for over 4 years).
