The best decision I made
I saw videos of reveals for this site on Facebook. Of course, I was doubtful at first, but after reading several testimonials reviews, I knew I had to try. It's worth every penny. From the time you place your purchase until you receive your painting, you will receive regular updates. That alone is a huge relief. This entire experience was incredible. I will absolutely use this site again and have already recommended it to others. The artwork of my dad and his grandfather Sam (who died many years ago) was flawless. Julie has incredible talent. Because of how lifelike it appeared, my partner, our friends, and family couldn't believe it was genuine! I was quite pleased with my experience.

WOW!!
The picture is fantastic! I grabbed photographs from my brother's Facebook page of his deceased dogs, and I'm surprised at what you people were able to put together and paint. The painting is stunning, and I can't wait to present it to him on Christmas. The entire procedure could not have been simpler. I'm quite satisfied and would suggest you to anybody!!

I very much recommend photo2painting
I made the mistake of selecting the incorrect style for the photo I uploaded when I placed my order. They emailed and advised on the best style for the photograph. Let me tell you, this charcoal style was incredible. I've never seen anything that well.

Exceptional Memory!
I bought this commission for my son, our house had been burnt 10 years ago and all pictures of ourselves had been burnt as well. So, it is unbelievable what photo2painting’s artist has done - he’s created the exact copy of the only childhood photograph of my son (which I had in old iPad). This painting is truly amazing with so much detail and personality. This was the best gift I could have ever given him. Absolutely beautiful! Highly recommend! Very heartfelt gift. We can pass down for generations!

Tears of happiness!
Photo2Painting and its artists are amazing! My Grandpa passed away right before I graduated from university. He was granma's best friend and we were very close. He has been gone for 10 years this year. It's been hard on my grandma this year and I wanted to give her something special for Christmas. I had an oil painting of my grandpa and her.Her reaction spoke volumes! She loved it so much! She was crying and I was crying! It was the most special moment to get to share with her! Very positive feedback from me!

I love my Painting!
The painting is a stunning representation of our dog. When we first saw the painting, we were all in tears. Every day, we miss our dog, but looking at this painting helps us feel as though we still get to see him. Such a great way to remember our beloved dog. The customer service is excellent as well. Super helpful, easy to reach and very responsive. The artwork is excellent, and I am thankful to the artist for creating it. It turned out far better than I had hoped. Honestly, the experience with Photo2painting.comwas nothing but excellent.

Why You Should Turn Your Photo into Custom Child Portraits & How to Choose the Best Company

It’s hard to hold back the tears of joy as we watch our children grow. Whether we like it or not, time goes by and memories of our kids’ childhood fade away. Fortunately, creating custom child portraits can help you preserve your precious memories in the most thoughtful manner.

If you’re like most parents, chances are high that you dream of slowing down time to maintain this precious period for as long as possible. We bet that’s probably why you enjoy taking pictures of your kids so much. And guess what? 

The fact that your child is growing up with a camera during birthdays, holidays, and special events can be justified after all! How so? Well, you can take advantage of our service and turn those pictures into personalized kid portraits!

While it’s important to take pictures of your kids to capture your memories, turning them into custom baby portraits is an even better way to keep the most valuable moments for a lifetime. Most importantly, a personalized portrait of a child is the best possible gift you can ever give to any parent, regardless of if it’s a mother’s or father’s day, their birthday, a child’s baptism, or more!

3 main reasons to order personalized baby portraits

  1. A baby portrait painting is a lifetime investmentWant to know why parents tend to consider creating custom child portraits a lifetime investment? Well, the reason is that our professional artists always use the highest quality materials and turn your photos into baby portraits with care. Therefore, it’s guaranteed that your child’s portrait will last forever, regardless of the art medium you prefer for your personalized painting.Still, you might wonder why you should pay for creating children portraits instead of simply taking photographs for free. If that’s something that worries you, you should know that custom paintings with us are 100% hand-painted. They include specific details based on your needs that brighten up the photograph, and besides, while a simple picture is unlikely to evoke so much emotion, custom toddler portraits come with tons of unforgettable positive feelings.
  2. It’s an appropriate gift for any occasionDid you know that personalized gifts are among the most common presents suitable for any occasion? The simple truth is that it doesn’t matter what kind of day you’re going to celebrate, if you’re trying to get your loved ones something thoughtful, you should consider customized toddlers portraits.For instance, if your parents have a birthday or you’re celebrating mother’s or father’s day, you can easily get your childhood photo turned into a custom kid portrait. In the same way, if your friend is a parent and you don’t have special ideas for their birthdays, consider ordering a child portrait painting to surprise them with an unforgettable present.
  3. You, as a parent, are guaranteed to burst into tears of joyFinally, the third key reason for transforming your photos into personalized children portraits is that it will allow you to experience positive emotions. Believe us, each time you look at your baby portraits, you’ll burst into tears of joy. Why?Because toddler portraits from your kids’ photographs are the most affectionate and creative idea you could ever think of. So, get your walls prepared, and enjoy feelings of happiness and joy every time you look at an ageless child portrait in your room.

How do we make custom child portraits from photos?

Even though personalized toddler portraits are indeed some of the most appealing items any parent can ever get, sometimes customers worry about the process of turning their children’s pictures into paintings.

“Do artists use actual instruments to turn my picture into a custom painting or will they use filters instead?”

“Are they professional enough to include all the details in my custom child portraits?”

“What if they use specific applications to turn my kid’s photo into a personalized portrait?”

These are some of the questions customers often ask before they finalize their order. Sounds familiar? If so, you should know that the painters we collaborate with are professionals in their field. They spent years specializing in transforming photos into paintings and creating your portraits child by hand with total care and attention to detail.

Let’s take a look at the process of turning your photos into custom kid paintings:

  • First, you choose your preferred photo of your kid and upload it on the website. The key requirement here is that it should come in as high resolution as possible.
  • Then, you choose your favorite art media, such as watercolor, charcoal, pencil, acrylic, color pencil, or more. 
  • Finally, make a decision regarding the size of your painting and that’s it — you can order your personalized kid’s artwork immediately!

Our talented artists will start by delineating your photo using the thinnest brush or pencil. The next step is to outline the figure of your child, fill out the basic zones, and finally, add extra details to develop an entire artwork.

How to choose the most reputable child portrait company

  • Check out customer reviewsWondering what’s the simplest way to identify the reputation of the company among its customers? Check the customer reviews! It turns out that analyzing customer feedback is the best way to assess whether it’s worth taking advantage of the company’s service. Besides, you shouldn’t forget to look for social proof as well. For instance, on our social media pages, you can see comments and reviews regarding baby portraits from our customers, which indicate the level of their satisfaction. So, remember — if a company doesn’t provide transparent feedback, it’s a clear indicator that customers aren’t satisfied enough with the service.
  • Diverse services are proof of the trustworthiness of a companyDoes the company you’re assessing offer toddler portraits in a diverse art medium? Do they provide other types of paintings too, such as family portraits or pet portraits? If not, chances are that this particular company isn’t among the most reliable ones in the industry. Why?Because reputable companies take care of their customers’ needs and understand that each individual has their own unique requirements. That’s why we offer you the opportunity to create your baby portrait painting in various mediums, such as oil, acrylic, watercolor, charcoal, pencil, and more.
  • You should have the option to negotiate your specific requirementsAs we said, customers are a priority for all reliable photo-to-painting companies — it’s a simple rule, and there’s no exception. But what if you don’t have the ability to talk to the company representatives and negotiate the details that make you excited before ordering a painting?Here’s the thing — before you order a customized painting of a child, make sure that the service includes an option to preview your personalized family portrait. That way, you’ll have a clear idea of whether or not the painter is in line with your needs. Besides, don’t forget to take a look at the prices and make sure they come in a wide enough range, as that’s a clear indicator of reasonable costs.
  • Quality artworks are always created by experienced artistsFinally, ensure that your personalized child portrait is created by a professional artist who has proven experience in the field. How so? Trustworthy companies take pride in the artists they collaborate with. As a result, they always have some information regarding their professionalism on the website. So, don’t forget to check the backgrounds of the artists because transforming photos into custom artwork is a complicated task that requires specific skills.

 

Children FAQ

  • What is a custom baby portrait?

    Custom child portraits are personalized artworks created by professional painters at Photo2Painting. As it turns out, it’s one of the most thoughtful gifts you can get to your loved ones on special occasions. Once you choose pictures of your child that represent special moments of their childhood, our gifted artists use their unique perspectives to customize them into toddler portraits in your preferred art medium, such as oil, acrylic, watercolor, pencil, or charcoal.
  • What is the best canvas size for personalized toddler portraits?

    Custom toddler portraits usually come in a wide range of canvas sizes. Considering this, you should determine the best type of canvas size based on your home interior and the art medium you desire to use to create a portrait. Based on our customers' experiences, the most popular canvas size for custom child portraits tends to be between 24 x 30 and 36 x 48 inches. While this is especially common for oil paintings, if you prefer mediums such as pencil or acrylic, a smaller canvas might be more suitable to transform your child’s photo into personalized artwork. Here are all the available canvas sizes for children portraits:
    • 8 x 10 inches
    • 11 x 14 inches
    • 12 x 16 inches

    • 36 x 48 inches
    • 48 x 72 inches
  • Can I get a refund after ordering custom child portraits?

    Yes, you can! Even though our experienced artists try to ensure all the details before starting the process of drawing, we’re always willing to take your feedback and perspectives into account. As a result, we can guarantee that the final results of customized children portraits will meet your vision and requirements!  Still, if you’re not completely satisfied with the results, reach out to our customer support and we will provide a full refund for the child portrait painting.
  • How much do custom children portraits cost?

    The price of children portraits from pictures is calculated based on 3 criteria:
    • The number of children in the painting
    • The size of the canvas
    • The type and size of the frame (if included)
    Usually, the prices range from $169 to $649. However, if you want to calculate the exact price before ordering the hand-painted baby portrait, you can take a look at our Pricing & Timing page to determine the approximate cost of your artwork.
