CUSTOM ORDERS
When you give someone a gift that speaks to them personally, it shows how much you know and care about them.
A Hello Dollface custom portrait is a unique gift that tells your own story and captures the essence of who you are.
Some popular themes for custom portraits include:
family portraits
- portraits with pets - home, beach or park
- portrait in a favourite room at home
- playing sports, hobbies and other activities or interests
- at a particular location
- portraits at work or to promote a business
how to order
I can replicate an image from existing photos or create an image based on information provided by you. The ‘wow’ factor comes from the inclusion of details that are unique to the subject or their environment (from brand of clothes they wear, the books on their shelves or coffee table and artwork on their walls to brand of surfboard they ride or layout of a room).
Pets are a favourite inclusion and I have a large stock of miniature dog and cat breeds as well as other animals. These, too, can be customised in many ways.
Contact me if you would like to discuss ideas. You do not need to know exactly what you want in advance. I'm happy to make suggestions.
printing options and pricing
Prices for customised portraits start from $350 and will depend on the level of detail and amount of customisation required. You can also have a 'photo shoot' and receive a series of different images. Once your doll(s) and props have been created, additional images are relatively easy to create.
The digital image is unique to you. You can choose to have it printed for framing in any size or format (we use photo quality lustre paper with archival inks). It can also be printed on other formats (eg cushion covers) or printed as greeting cards or invitations.
You can also use your digital image as a corporate profile or as a profile picture on your social media.
lead time
Turnaround time for custom portraits depends on the complexity of the image and my current schedule but as a guide allow 4 weeks. The process is often iterative where I consult with the customer or test ideas as work is in progress.
However, for relatively simple images with items I have in stock I can often turn an order around within days or weeks. If a portrait is required by a particular date, let me know in advance.
