When you receive one of our gifted experiences, you'll enjoy a complimentary session that is valued at $250, as well as a $1000 Fine Art Portrait credit, which is the value of our Signature 14-Inch Fine Art Portrait with rich artistry. To book your gifted experience, we kindly ask for a fully refundable security deposit of $200. We value your time and ours, and this helps prevent any no-shows or last-minute cancellations. As long as you don’t cancel or reschedule within 14 days of your appointment, it is fully refundable. Your experience with us includes a private portrait session with our skilled photographers, followed by a private viewing session with our designers. You will be able to see beautiful images from your session. You will work with your designer to choose your favorite images. Don't worry we're not deleting anything until you've selected the portraits to keep! Then you will be given the option to either choose one image to be produced into a 14” photographic print or create a custom order with additional or larger artwork for your home. If you choose to create something special for your home, your qualified designer will guide you through the best display options for the images you love and work with the space you have in your home. For any order you place with us, your $1000 credit will be applied to your purchase. We have payment options available and they will be offered to you to make the decision-making process easier.

We understand that choosing the right images for your home can be a difficult decision, and we want you to feel completely comfortable when it comes to placing an order with us. ​ If you have been gifted an experience that comes with the value of a 14” artwork, you can simply select your single image and we’ll turn it into a ready-to-frame portrait print. If you wish to use your gift as a $1000 artwork credit then you can simply work with our art director to create the perfect piece for your home and apply the $1000 credit toward your order. Of course, there's no obligation to purchase any additional images from us, but if you do decide to make a purchase, our designer is here to help. ​ We only keep the images you order at the sizes you order, including your gifted image.
