 Silhouettes
- simple, traditional, yet full of charm - recapture a piece of the past, yet remain
the least expensive form of portraiture.
Today silhouette artists are hard to find, as few are skilled in the
art form. Order yours today from a professional portrait artist with over 25 years
of experience in silhouette cutting, and enjoy your heirloom forever.
The Silhouette Artist is available for parties, corporate, and non-profit
functions. Just call Artful Heirlooms at 866-212-7288 for details.
Each silhouette arrives in a traditional black 5x7 inch mat with an oval
opening. Optionally, you can order your silhouettes to arrive framed. Please scroll
down for details, including important instructions on taking profile photos.

- Photograph your subjects close up, individually, preferably facing
right.
- Show entire head and shoulders.
- Position subject against a plain dark or light background
such as a wall, curtain, or sheet of poster board. The background should contrast
with the skin tone.
- Get on eye level with your subject. This may require
the photographer to be seated while a child stands.
- Face should be completely relaxed with lips together NOT SMILING!
- Chin should be level
- Have subject turn head until your view is in perfect profile
- Place long hair behind shoulders so neck shows. In the cutting, very
long hair will disappear over shoulders, unless up in a bun or ponytail.
- Please provide the ages of children or teens.
- When in doubt, send more than one shot
- If ordering only a single with no duplicates, let us know whether
you have a preference on the direction it faces
Photos mailed will be returned upon request with artwork. Allow 2 weeks
from receipt of photos to date of shipping.
