Family Portrait Painting from Photos
A family portrait painting from photos puts everyone you love on one canvas — painted by hand by a real artist, from the pictures you already have.
No perfect group photo? That's normal. We combine separate photos into one family portrait — relatives who live far apart, grandparents and grandchildren who never met, or someone who is no longer with you.

A Family Moment That Was Never in One Photo
What We Can Paint for You
Your Family, From the Photo You Love
Send the photo as it is. The artist paints every face by hand and can fix what bothers you — a closed eye, a messy background, someone cut off at the edge. No extra charge.
One photo, six people — painted by hand on canvas.
Everyone Together — Even From Separate Photos
Send one photo of each person — from different years, different places, different phones. We combine the photos into one family portrait that looks like a real moment. Before anything is painted, you get a digital design to approve.
Three separate photos. One hand-painted family portrait.
Two separate photos. Five people. Three generations on one canvas.
Someone Who Is No Longer With You
Add a parent or grandparent who has passed away — next to the grandchildren they never got to meet. Angel wings or a soft heavenly background are optional. More ideas in our memorial painting guide.
Grandparents together again — angel wings for the ones who have passed.
A Wedding Day With Everyone in It
Someone couldn't be at the wedding, or there's no good photo of the bride with her family? We paint the moment the camera missed. See our wedding portraits.
Three separate photos, one wedding-day portrait.
And the dog is family too — add your pet to the painting.
How It Works
- Choose a style, the number of people and a size — oil, watercolor, acrylic, pencil or charcoal. Pay only 20% to start.
- Upload your photos — one group photo or a separate photo of each person. Tell us who goes where and any wishes: background, clothing, a pet, a loved one who has passed.
- Approve the design — when we combine photos or change the background, you get a digital design first. Nothing is painted until you say yes.
- A professional artist paints it by hand — no printing, no filters, no AI.
- You approve the finished painting — we send you photos of it. Ask for changes until it feels right, and pay the rest only when you love it.
- Delivered to your door — in about 25 days, or about 15 days with Express (+15%). Free US shipping with FedEx.

Which Style Is Right for Your Family Portrait?
- Oil — rich color and fine detail. The classic choice for a family portrait over the fireplace.
- Watercolor — softer and lighter. Beautiful in a nursery or a bright room.
- Acrylic — vivid colors with a slightly more modern look.
- Pencil or charcoal — black and white and timeless. Works especially well with old family photos.
Not sure? Tell us where it will hang, and we'll recommend a style.

Common Questions
How much does a family portrait painting cost?
Prices start at $169 and depend on the number of people, the size and the style. You'll see the exact price for every option when you choose your style — and you pay only 20% to start.
Can you combine people from different photos?
Yes, at no extra charge. Send a separate photo of each person, and we blend them into one natural scene. You approve a digital design before the artist starts painting.
Can you add a loved one who has passed away?
Yes. Many families add a parent or grandparent who is no longer with them — often next to grandchildren they never met. See our memorial painting guide.
What if my photos aren't good quality?
Send what you have — old, blurry or faded photos are fine. Not sure a photo is good enough? Email it to us and we'll check it for free.
What size should I choose?
It depends on how many people are in the painting: two people from 12x16", three from 16x20", four to eight from 20x24". For a family of five or more, 24x36" or larger gives every face room.
How long does it take?
About 25 days to your door. With Express, about 15 days (+15%). Large paintings may need 2–3 extra days.
What if I don't love the painting?
You see photos of the finished painting before you pay the rest. The artist makes changes until it feels right. And if you still don't like it after it arrives, you can return it within 30 days.
Is it really painted by hand?
Yes. Every family portrait is painted by hand by a professional artist. No printing, no filters, no AI.
