CLR Creations accepts a limited number of portrait commissions each year, specializing in engagements, weddings, newborns, and family milestones.
Each portrait is individually painted from your photographs and developed through conversation and artistic interpretation. Rather than simply reproducing a photograph, the goal is to preserve the people, atmosphere, setting, and details that make the moment meaningful.
Engagement & Wedding Portraits: Transform a favorite photograph into an original painting. Portraits may focus closely on the couple or incorporate the landscape, architecture, florals, light, and other details surrounding the day.
Newborn & Family Portraits: Preserve a fleeting season through an intimate portrait of a newborn, child, or family. These works are created as contemporary heirlooms intended to remain within the family for generations.
Choose from:
Archival Oil Paper: An intimate, heavyweight oil-painting surface intended for professional framing.
Archival ACM Panel: A smooth, rigid and highly stable surface with a contemporary presentation.
Oil-Primed Linen: A traditional fine-art surface with subtle texture, particularly suited to portraiture and expressive brushwork.
Birchwood Panel: A substantial rigid surface with a warm, tactile character.
Oil or acrylic paint is selected according to the surface and desired character of the painting. Available materials vary by size.
Small: 9" × 12" to 11" × 14"
Newborns, single subjects, and intimate compositions.
Medium: 12" × 18" to 18" × 24"
Couples, parent and child, and portraits incorporating more of the setting.
Large: 24" × 30" to 30" × 40"
Wedding, family, and statement portraits.
Gallery: 36" × 36"+
Large-scale heirloom and portrait-landscape compositions.
The listed price reflects a 50% deposit toward your commission. Final pricing is based on the selected size, material, and composition and will be confirmed during your consultation before the commission agreement is signed.
Multiple subjects, complex settings, extensive detail, specialty materials, or significant reconstruction from several photographs may require an additional fee.
Any adjustment is discussed and approved before your commission agreement is signed and before painting begins. You may approve the revised price, adjust the concept to remain within your original budget, or request a refund before signing the agreement.
1. Reserve — Select your size, material, and payment option.
2. Share — Send several high-resolution photographs and tell me about the people and moment you would like preserved.
3. Consult — Within 24–48 hours, I will reach out to begin the collaboration process. We will discuss setting, color, atmosphere, materials, and meaningful details.
4. Approve — I’ll confirm the final scope, price, and timeline. Your commission begins after the agreement is signed.
5. Create — Your portrait is painted individually by hand, with progress images shared at key stages.
6. Deliver — Once complete and sufficiently cured, your painting is carefully prepared for delivery.
Allow approximately 10–12 weeks from signing the commission agreement, including approximately 10–12 weeks for painting and 2–8 business days for shipping.
Oil paintings may require additional drying time. Larger or more complex commissions may require longer. For weddings, anniversaries, holidays, or other time-sensitive gifts, please reserve early.
Clients are responsible for providing photographs they own or have permission to use. Professional wedding, engagement, or newborn photography may require permission from the photographer.
Small and medium works are generally shipped flat and protected. Large works may require custom crating, freight, white-glove delivery, or installation. Additional delivery costs are quoted when applicable.
Because each portrait is made specifically for you, commissions cannot be returned or exchanged once the agreement has been signed and painting has begun.
Before signing, you may adjust the scope, approve any price adjustment, or request a refund.
Engagements become anniversaries. Wedding days become family histories. Newborns carry on legacies.
Transform a meaningful photograph into an original painting created by hand and made to remain within your family for generations.
Frame not included. Shipping, specialty crating, and installation may be quoted separately when applicable.
