Bespoke text portraits

Portraits in Prose capture milestones in clients’ lives. Together, we reflect on all that’s most important, involving loved ones and putting thoughts and feelings into words. I then write bespoke text portraits with those words. The delightful resulting text can be framed, accompany pictures in a photo book or be styled in myriad ways.

Six classic milestones are profiled: testament to new life, an established family, a birthday or anniversary, your love, achievements or a loved one ‘in memoriam’.

500+ testimonials speak to the joyful, profound and lasting effect my approach can have, both in creating the writing itself and the Portrait’s resonance afterwards.

All my bespoke writing is informed by 14 years of professional writing experience telling the stories of people’s lives, working with hundreds of different clients.

‘Hannah has been a delightful, warm and wise guide with a real talent for getting to the root of what we wanted to capture. We wanted something truly personal: her skill and experience gave us just that. She is brilliant.’

I’ve outlined the kind of questions I might ask, who we may involve in our information gathering and how I could use the words collected.

Others’ offer may involve an interview or completing a form of some kind, but this unique multi-phase process is far more intuitive, responsive and satisfying.

Clients often contribute both individually and jointly, thereby keeping some elements a surprise and making their first reading of the final text even more effective.

Anyone, anywhere, can commission a Portrait, for themselves, family or friends (LGBTQ+ inclusive) – a beautiful bespoke text to match any occasion. Just get in touch to discover more.
