        Hand Painted Artwork

        on Giclee Canvas Prints

        Experience a unique blend of modern photography and classic oil painting. Our unique process transforms your special moments, captured during a photo session, into exquisite pieces of art. With every stroke of oil paint over your giclee canvas print, we add depth, texture, and emotion to your photograph.

        While digital prints capture moments, our hand-painted oil details capture emotions. Feel the warmth, depth, and texture that only oil on canvas can provide. Our artistic approach ensures that every piece is as unique as the memory it represents.

        Artistry of Oil

        Why settle for just a photograph when you can own a masterpiece? Our hand-painted oil layers over digital prints stand as a testament to artistry and craftsmanship. The rich, vibrant colors of oil paint breathe new life into your photos, turning them into timeless pieces of art that evoke memories and emotions. Located in the heart of Central Texas we pride ourselves in delivering one-of-a-kind pieces that encapsulate moments and transform them into lifelong treasures.

        Let's create art together!

        A photo session with Frances and Greg, carefully finished with hand-painted oil paint and glaze layers over a giclee quality canvas printed in Texas.

        Our goal is to create art with our portrait and wedding clients in a collaborative, empowering, and authentic manner. We want our photo sessions to live on beyond a digital capture, and become something that you and future generations can treasure and be inspired by. Every individual, every couple, every pet has a story to tell. We don't just create artworks; we create narratives. From the moment you book a session to the final brush stroke, we're committed to ensuring your vision is realized in the most artistic and personalized manner.

        BOOK NOW

        It starts with a concept and a portrait session.

        Book a creative portrait session with Frances and Greg first, (or if you are a past client, simply select the photograph you would like printed and painted). Before the session, you will ideate on possibilities, concepts, and come up with something that is perfect for you (or you and your partner). Sessions can take place in studio, at home, or on location. Afterwards, you’ll receive a proofing gallery with selections, where we can narrow down your favorites.

        Once you’ve selected the photos for printing and painting, we will complete final edits, and order the giclee quality digital canvas prints. Printing typically takes 2-3 weeks. After we receive the prints, Greg will begin painting layers of oil paints and glazes on the prints. Because oil paints take longer to dry, this process can take 2-4 weeks. Final delivery of photographs takes up to 12 weeks.

Some clients know exactly what they want and we faciliate bringing their vision to life. Other clients benefit more from a creative process where we uncover our client aesthetic preferences. We will make sure you are over the moon beyond thrilled with what we create together.
