What could possibly be more touching than a beautiful photo of a baby? Turning that beautiful photo into a baby portrait!

There are some moments when photographs simply don't do justice to the true feeling of a moment. Hand-painted portraits can bring your very favorite baby photo to life!

Baby portraits are even more special because babyhood is such a very short and special time of a person's life. With portraits, that touching moment can be secured in memory as an heirloom to be passed down to that very baby's own baby, when he or she is all grown up!

Baby portraits are simply spectacular gifts, because:

They're unique for any occasion, especially Christmas, christenings, mother's day, father's day, or the baby's first birthday!

Baby portraits are very personal gifts for a very special someone.

A baby portrait is a sound investment, since as an artist gains in popularity, the baby portrait will increase in value.

Baby portraits capture those treasured memories of that tender moment in a person's life.

Another advantage of a painted portrait is that alterations and touch-ups can be made to perfect the moment of the original photo. If there is a physical trait that should be accentuated, it is. If the lighting in the original photo isn't as flattering as it could be, the lighting can be altered.

If it is a beautiful photo except for the expression on the baby's face, the artist can frequently change the expression to better match the true look of the bouncing baby! Surprisingly enough, a baby portrait is frequently a more natural representation of the real baby!

Especially popular is the changing of backgrounds. If the most gorgeous photo of your darling little girl happens to be on a tattered old chair, that furniture can easily be replaced by a stunning antique piece, or a soft, puffy pillow!
