What story would you like to tell?
Every person, relationship and place has stories worth keeping. These themes are starting points, not fixed templates: combine ideas, choose a mood, or bring us a story of your own.
1. Childhood adventures
Woodland discoveries, seaside days and the small adventures that make childhood magical. Favourite animals, dinosaurs, toys and treasured interests can become a world of their own, as in Our Little Adventurer or a storybook Finding Portrait.
2. Favourite things and imagined worlds
Beloved toys, treasured objects, secret gardens, dinosaurs or dreams of space. Bring a person’s interests together in a world that feels unmistakably theirs.
3. Family and generations
Parents and children, grandparents and grandchildren, siblings or a whole family. Celebrate shared rituals, familiar expressions and the small details that connect generations.
4. Family tributes and life stories
A father’s kindness, a mother’s strength, a retirement or a milestone birthday. Weave meaningful places, achievements and family memories into a warm thank-you, as in Our Dad Robert.
5. Love and anniversaries
The place you met, adventures shared and the life you have built together. A personal portrait for a wedding, anniversary or a quiet celebration of lasting companionship.
6. Pets and much-loved companions
Dogs, cats and other animals with character all their own. Include favourite walks, playful habits and the moments of affection that make them part of the family.
7. Horses and equestrian friendships
A rider and pony, treasured rides, stable routines or time together by the sea. Celebrate trust and friendship, as in Kiki and Bonzo.
8. Cherished places and home
A family garden, a beloved house, a stretch of coast or a landscape that holds memories. Let a place become the setting for the people and stories that belong there.
9. Passions and pastimes
Sailing, golf, music, gardening, motoring or another lifelong enthusiasm. Imagine favourite objects, achievements and shared experiences gathered into one personal narrative.
10. Friendships and shared journeys
School friends, lifelong companions, walking partners or travel adventures. Capture the humour, rituals and memories that turn shared time into a lasting bond.
11. Remembrance and enduring bonds
A gentle tribute to someone loved and missed, human or animal. Focus on the qualities, places and happy memories you most want to keep close, at a tone and pace that feel right for you.
12. New chapters and milestones
An eighteenth or twenty-first birthday, graduation, a new baby or a new home. Celebrate the journey so far, meaningful passions and hopes for the future — as in Rupert’s eighteenth-birthday portrait.
Your story, your mood
Playful, tender, romantic, reflective or adventurous: the tone, setting and visual treatment are agreed around your brief. Choose expressive, cartoon-like storybook characters with the lively feel of an animated film, or a photorealistic approach with natural-looking people and settings. These are styles for a finished portrait print. You do not need a finished concept before getting in touch.
