I am now taking commissions for 2022. Please see below for an explanation of the commission process and for a step-by-step guide to commissioning your own piece.
Commissions are principally carried out from your own photographs: provided they are of sufficient quality. To help you get the very best photos for me to work from I have included a Photography Tips section. Choosing the right photo to work from will ensure the piece I produce is a faithful and honest reflection of the subject.
Photography Package
Should your own photos not be of sufficient quality I am able to personally photograph your subject, dependent on location. Photography sessions usually last between 30 - 60 minutes and following completion you will be given a selection of photos you can choose from for me to work from.
Photography sessions are charged at a flat rate of £50, however an excess travel charge will be incurred for locations beyond 20 miles of Pewsey, Wiltshire.

Payment & Deposit
Once the portrait has been confirmed a 20% non-returnable deposit is required and the portrait will be dispatched on receipt of full payment.
Payment can be made via PayPal, BACS or by cheque (UK only, made payable to Louise Anthistle).

Gift Certificates
Gift Certificates make a unique gift for any special occasion and can be used towards a commission or in my Etsy shop. Giving a gift certificate enables the recipient to be fully involved in the commission process, they are also the perfect answer if time is tight and you have a birthday or special occasion looming.
Certificates come packaged in a presentation box, making them a nice present to 'open' on the day. The recipient will be able to choose the photo they would like me to use for their portrait and can also have the option of upgrading their commission by paying the difference.
Gift certificates can be purchased in the shop and can be delivered to you or I can fill out the details and send directly to the recipient.
Please read my Terms & Conditions prior to ordering a portrait or gift certificate.
