The Proper Process

Ready to create heirloom-quality portraiture? Our timely and cost-effective process captures memories for your family to enjoy today.

Getting Started

  • Choose your digital photograph to be transformed into a Proper Portrait.

  • Select our Mini, Classic or Group Portrait, and your preferred size. Add to cart!

  • Email your selected photograph to our team of artists, and after a few weeks you will receive the artwork in your mailbox!

Tips for submitting your Proper Photograph

  • Use your phone. Phone Cameras have come a long way—don’t worry with trying to use a fancy camera.

  • Don’t use Portrait Mode. It helps our artists for everything to be in focus, not blurred.

  • Get up close & personal. Try to make your subject take up as much room in the frame as possible. Since our portraits are just the subject itself, the background doesn’t matter.

  • Find some great light. We find that indirect sunlight works best. Be sure to avoid shadows on the subject.

  • Clarity, clarity, clarity. The clearer the picture is on your phone (or camera), the easier it is for our artists to capture those important details that mean so much!

  • Don’t worry with editing. Our team will take care of that! Just send in your favorite shot & rest easy that it’s in great hands.
