Baby and newborn portraits from your photo

They change monthly, and the photographs pile up unlooked at. This is one of them, made permanent.

Soft styles suit new faces

Watercolour and line art are the two that work best on a newborn. Both are gentle with skin, and neither adds the hard contrast that makes a very young face look older than it is. Pencil is the third choice and holds fine detail like eyelashes.

Nursery walls have a palette

Line art in particular sits well in a pared-back nursery and prints beautifully at small sizes, which matters when wall space is mostly shelving. Watercolour brings colour without the saturation of a photograph.

A first-birthday or christening gift

Grandparents are the usual buyers here, and the file is digital — so it can be printed once for you and again for them from the same purchase.

Common questions

How is my portrait made?

Your portrait is generated with AI image tools under human artistic direction, then checked by a person for likeness before it reaches you. It is not drawn by hand by a human artist, and we do not describe it as handmade.

When do I pay?

Nothing is charged when you place your request. We make your portrait, email you a proof, and only ask for payment once you have seen it and approved it.

What do I receive?

A high-resolution digital file by email, ready to print or frame. Nothing physical is shipped, so there is no waiting on post and no delivery address to give.

What happens to my photograph?

It is stored privately while your portrait is made, and deleted once your artwork has been delivered. It is never published, shared, sold, or used to train any model.

Will a hospital photograph work?

Usually. Hospital lighting is harsh, which we can work with; what matters more is that the face is in focus.

Can you include a sibling?

Yes — send a photograph with both in it.

They will not be this size for long

One photograph is all we need. A proof comes first, and nothing is charged until you approve it.
