The making of

How the magic happens

Five friendly steps, in the order a careful storyteller might tell them.

  1. 1

    Share three to five favourite photos.

    Clear faces, good light, everyday clothes. We take care of the costumes — every crown, every helmet, every space helmet.

  2. 2

    Give us your yes as the parent.

    A short consent form, and a confirmation link we send to your email. It's how we know a real grown-up said this was okay.

  3. 3

    We look after every photo before anything else happens.

    Each picture goes through a safety review before an artist ever sees it. Nothing skips this step. Nothing.

  4. 4

    We paint them across twenty-two eras.

    From Egyptian temples to space cadets. You get a peek at what we've noticed about your child, and can nudge us before we begin.

  5. 5

    You choose how to keep them.

    A hardcover book, a wall calendar, a framed poster, a set of greeting cards, or digital downloads to print at home. All of the above, if it's that kind of gift.

Twenty-two little adventures

For the good gift-givers

The one they'll actually keep on the shelf.

Grandparents keep asking for something less plastic. Parents keep tossing the toys with lights and buttons. Aunties and godparents want to send something the child will still open at fifteen and smile at.

  • A hardcover book that lives on the coffee table, not in the bin.
  • Twenty-two portraits — one for every era, one for every mood.
  • Parents give the yes on the photos; you handle the surprise.
  • Ships in a keepsake sleeve worth the wait at the door.

For the grown-ups

A little person's photograph deserves care.

Three promises we make out loud, so you know we mean them.

Screened on upload

Every photograph sits in quarantine until it passes our safety review. Nothing is touched, indexed, or processed before then.

Consent, then ink

We capture your parental consent — signed, time-stamped, confirmed by an email round-trip — before a single portrait is rendered.

Forgotten after ninety days

Your reference photographs are deleted ninety days after the project completes, or sooner on request. The keepsake is yours, the originals are not ours to keep.

A child remembered carefully is a child loved well.
