Client Reviews

"There are so many things I love about our painting, and we’ll treasure it forever."

“We don’t have the eye or the vision that Steph does—we had a couple of ideas as to what moment we wanted Steph to paint and were worried about the logistics of getting the shot, but we didn’t realize she’d be able to “create” that moment. There are so many things I love about our painting, and we’ll treasure it forever. It truly captures the essence of how we felt on our wedding day! Steph is incredibly kind, patient, and professional. She’s great about walking you through all of your options prior to the wedding day so that you get the most perfect result. She was a dream to work with! We love you Steph!”

Allie

"You won't regret hiring her to capture such a special moment!"

“I am absolutely in love. I let Steph paint what she felt in the moment and it is honestly stunning. It is a whimsical rendition of our first kiss at the altar. 100/10! She is beyond sweet and makes sure she gets every detail right. You won't regret hiring her to capture such a special moment!”

Kristen

"So glad we crossed paths & you were a big part of my special day!"

“I hired her for my wedding September 2022!! So glad we crossed paths & you were a big part of my special day! Wedding guests were so mesmerized by your work! The final drawing is stunning! It’s hung up in the main space of my home & truly a beautiful and sentimental memory of my wedding to look at."

Ronda

"Working with Steph was the easiest part of wedding planning without a doubt."

“We discussed what I was looking for and she added her artistic blend in so we could bring my imagination to life. After I received the final project I was truly blown away, as is every single person who sees it displayed in our living room. Every time I look at the piece it reminds me of my perfect moment frozen in time."

Kelsey

"She creates one of a kind pieces with her whole heart and brings a moment to life."

"I have seen multiple final pieces of work and each and every one is special in its own way. The piece that she created for my family brings a smile to my face each time I look at it. It captures my family beautifully and really shows the sense of pride and happiness we were feeling in the moment. If you are looking for someone to go above and beyond every expectation that you have please hire Steph!"

The

Portfolio

My custom paintings range from pet portraits to anniversary collector bottles. 

Each one is created with your vision in mind with the highest quality supplies. Many clients bring their own ideas about their painting and I simply help bring it to life. However, I’m also thrilled to provide my guidance and expertise on what might best transfer into paint. 

The Process

01

Let's Meet each other

Our initial meeting will take place over video meeting or a local Michigan coffee shop if preferred. We’ll review the reference photos as well as your vision for the final work. There will be plenty of time for questions!

02

Secure your painting

Due to demand, I am only able to accept a limited number of commissions each year. As soon as you’re ready to proceed, I require a 50% deposit and a signed contract.

03

Time to Shine

I’ll take it from here! Your painting will be created and finalized in my studio and then a sneak peak image will be sent upon completion. If you want a total surprise that’s ok too! 

04

Celebrate!

Your painting will be carefully protected and shipped directly to you to enjoy forever. If you’re exceptionally happy with the work you receive, please feel free to send me a picture of it on display or leave a heartfelt review.

CAN YOU COMBINE SEVERAL REFERENCE PHOTOS INTO ONE PAINTING?

Well lit, high resolution photos are best. If this is not an option, please inquire as I may still be able to work some magic. I only accept digital copies, please do not send me original hard copies. 

WHAT KINDS OF PHOTOS DO YOU WORK WITH FOR REFERENCE?

Absolutely. Paintings make a phenomenal wedding gift to give. Please let me know if you’d like to surprise a special couple in your life.

HOW MUCH DOES SHIPPING COST?

Shipping is dependent on size, weight and location but is most often under $50. If shipping price is a concern I am happy to provide a quote estimate based on your painting requirements prior to signing a contract.

WHAT IS YOUR REFUND POLICY?

Custom commissions are a one of a kind object and the value is related to the time invested and the sentiment of the subject. I am diligent in communication throughout the process to create something that you will love. Custom art is difficult to resell and for this reason I do not offer refunds on this service. All sales are final.
