    The Signature Digital Silhouette illustration

    What began as a mother’s desire to hold onto fleeting details has become our signature offering. Each silhouette is individually hand-drawn from your child’s photograph — refining edges, honoring proportion, and preserving the profile exactly as it is in this season.

    Delivered as a print-ready digital file, your silhouette becomes a piece you can frame, archive, or pass down. Many families return year after year to quietly document how their children change.

    This is not clip art.
    It is not automated.
    It is drawn by hand, with intention.

    Production: 3-5 Weeks*

    Our gorgeous Silhouettes are hand illustrated and printed right in the the USA.
    Turnaround for these pieces is anywhere from 3-5 weeks*

    *This timeline can become extended during our rush season by an additional 2-3 weeks.
    Because we are a small shop, with a team of moms, creating exceptionally custom art, life can sometimes cause unexpected delayed. We do our ABSOLUTELY best to protect our turnarounds and stay within the expected timeline, but in the event that a delay does occur, please understand that and know we are already doing everything we can to stay within these given dates.

     

    True side profile (90°)

    Stand directly to the side — not at a three-quarter angle. Try aiming for the ear when snapping the photo. We need to see one full eye, the nose, lips, and chin.

    Eye-level with the camera

    Crouch down to your child’s level. Shooting from above or below distorts the proportions and doesn’t capture their true profile.

    Show nose, lips, and neckline

    Make sure hair, clothing, or accessories aren’t covering the nose, lips, or chin. These details are what make your silhouette uniquely recognizable.

    Good natural lighting

    Stand near a window or go outside. Avoid harsh overhead lighting or flash — soft, even light gives us the clearest details to work with.

    Simple, uncluttered background

    A plain wall or sky works perfectly. Busy backgrounds make it harder to see the edges of the profile clearly.
