Guidelines for Uploading Your Family Photo

The image you upload is crucial to the quality of your custom family portrait. Follow these guidelines to ensure your artwork is picture perfect:

• Daylight Photos: Upload your family photo(s) taken during daylight hours (landscape or portrait).
• Quality Camera: Use a smartphone or high-quality camera.
• Avoid Dark Lighting: Avoid photos taken at night or with large shadows.
• No Filters: Avoid using filters to ensure accurate coloring of your artwork.
• Combining Photos: If you need us to combine multiple photos, select the 'Combine Photos' add-on when placing your order, and we'll merge all your photos into one artwork.
• Color Photos: Unless you have ordered a sketch portrait, we cannot accept black and white or scanned photos.

Note: Everything shown in the image you upload will be illustrated in your final family portrait. We can sometimes remove people or small items (please mention this in the notes with your photo), but ensure your photo looks the way you want it to be painted.

Good Examples

• Photo taken in daylight with minimal shadows
• Clear, high-resolution image

• Photo taken in daylight with all faces visible
• High-resolution image

Bad Examples

• Scanned photo
• Heavy shadows and dark lighting
• Not all faces are visible

• Dark lighting
• Blurred image
• Low resolution

Not Sure?

Email your image to us at support@celebrateportraits.com for assessment. We understand it’s not always possible to follow all the guidelines, but generally, our digital artists can still create your family portrait.
