Portrait Commissions

A meaningful way to celebrate the people, pets, and moments that matter most.

Each portrait is created with artistic intention and a deep appreciation for the story behind the subject. Whether you’re celebrating a relationship, honoring a loved one, or capturing the personality of a cherished pet, your commissioned piece will become a meaningful, lasting work of art.

A Personal Approach to Portraiture

Jennifer’s love for portraiture began with her grandmother, whose gentle, patient style shaped the way she sees and paints. One of her most meaningful works is the portrait she created of her grandmother — a reminder of why she paints and the stories portraits can hold.

She brings that same intention to every commission, focusing on expression, personality, and the small details that make each subject unique. The result is a portrait that feels personal, heartfelt, and full of life.

How It Works

01

Connect & Share Your Vision

After inquiring, you'll send a reference photo or arrange in-studio sittings. This is when your subject’s story is shared and the feeling you hope to capture becomes clear.

02

Artistic Planning

Sketches and reference studies are created to explore expression, personality, and presence. These early details establish the foundation for a portrait that feels true and meaningful.

03

Creation, Framing, & Delivery

The portrait is brought to life with careful attention to detail. Once complete, it is beautifully packaged, with framing options available.

A limited number of commission dates will open later this year. We invite you to complete the contact form to be notified when availability is released.
