{ The Process }
{ A Few Tips …}
Here are some tips for taking pictures that will set the stage for creating the most elegant silhouettes.
What types of pictures should I send?
We recommend you sending photos reflecting your everyday style.
If you are interested in a profile silhouette (for our custom gifts like pillows, paperweights etc) please make sure to stand your subject in profile (facing right or left) and against a well light background (a plain wall will be just fine).
Candid pictures are great but we strongly suggest that if long hair (past neckline) you pull it up. We find that ponytails, messy-buns, braids and such make cute silhouettes. If you would like your full body silhouette drawn, we recommend you taking pictures of the subject standing up (in the case of a child or adult) looking straight at the camera or with the back at the camera (these poses work great for our forest silhouette prints).
I have a lot of pictures, but don’t know which ones to send….
If you can’t decide which pictures to email or need some help selecting the best ones, please feel free to include extra pictures. We will be happy to look through them and pick the one we feel best describes the subject.
How do I determine how many silhouettes to purchase?
If you have one child/animal etc, you need to purchase 1 silhouette. For a family of 4 (mom, dad, son, daughter) you would need to purchase 4 silhouettes. Each subject requires it’s own silhouette.
