Live Illustration

Live fashion portraits are a unique and memorable activity for social events! Within a matter of minutes, I create stylized portraits of your guests that they will take home and cherish as a reminder of your special day. I illustrate for all kinds of events, including but not limited to weddings, store openings, galas, and corporate parties. Fashion illustration is an art style that is meant to capture what a person is wearing versus facial features or other recognizable details, so it is especially great for events where dressing up is required! I have a 2 hour booking minimum for events within the Minneapolis/ Saint Paul area, and a 4 hour minimum for events that require over an hour of travel by car outside of the Minneapolis/ Saint Paul area. I have a booking maximum of 4 hours for all events.

LIVE FASHION ILLUSTRATION FAQs:

  1. How long does each sketch take? About 5 minutes per person included depending on the complexity of their outfit.

  2. Do you travel? Yes! Depending on the location of your event and duration of the stay, travel fees will apply (including but not limited to ground transportation/ flight costs, lodging, and travel time)

  3. How far in advance do you have to book? I book up to 6 months in advance. If your event is over 6 months in advance, I can put a placeholder on the date and follow up again with you when we are within the 6 month window.

  4. Do you have a cancellation policy? Yes, events must be cancelled at least 30 days before the event to receive a refund on any balance payments made (excluding down payments which are non-refundable).
