Guidelines for Uploading Your Favorite Place Photos

Get Started In 3 Easy Steps

1. Upload Your Photo: Choose a well-lit photo of your favorite place and include it with your order so our digital artists can begin creating your personalized portrait. Please read our Image Guidelines for tips to make your house portrait picture perfect!

2. Personalize Your Artwork: Add a location or personal message to make your artwork uniquely yours. We'll print this in the custom artwork in our signature font, along with your other included details.

3. Proof and Shipping: Sit back and relax while our illustrators transform your photo into a masterpiece. We will send you an artwork proof in 3 days or less to review and approve before we print and ship.

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

• Daylight Photos: Upload a photo of your favorite place 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.
• 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 portrait. We can sometimes remove small items such as people, cars, or trash cans (please mention this in the notes with your photo). Ensure your photo looks the way you want it to be painted.
