‘I’ve absolutely fallen in love with H’s portrait. It’s gentle, beautiful, open and mischievous all at the same time; the detail and depth of the features are very compelling. It’s a very special thing and has been admired and discussed all day. And thank you for doing it all so quickly.’

‘A huge, heartfelt thank-you for your beautiful picture of T in his christening gown. Everyone thinks the likeness is incredible – you have captured his twinkle, his smile and his laid-back stance perfectly.’

‘You have caught their different characters really well, avoiding the dreaded cheesiness. I can’t think of anything you could do to improve them at all.’

‘My husband was moved almost to tears when he saw the finished portraits.’

‘Have already been to the framers I’m so keen to get them on the wall! Thank you so much. We’re delighted.’

‘Absolutely gorgeous!’

‘Thank you so much for the portraits of M & H. I was mildly concerned about what H’s teenage reaction to his would be, but he thought it was great!’

‘Absolutely fantastic! I’m really, really, really pleased.’

‘Well, we had the big unveiling on Saturday and my husband LOVES them! The framer had them done by Friday, so I was able to give them to him on the day of the party and all the dinner guests saw them too. Everybody thought they were so wonderful and R was so proud, wanting to show her portrait off to all our friends. They are a lovely memory of our children at this time in our lives – we are thrilled. They are already hanging in our bedroom and we absolutely adore them.’

‘Thank you so much for the beautiful picture of S; you’ve really caught her little personality!’
