Birthday and anniversary portraits

A bespoke text marking a birthday or anniversary 

What better excuse to take stock of all the good in our lives than by celebrating a landmark birthday or a special anniversary? Often the day arrives though, it passes and we quickly move on. A Portrait in Prose commission, written with nominated contributors’ words, could help it resonate for longer. Choose for yourself, you and your partner, or a loved one. LGBTQ+ inclusive.

Happy 18th? There’s every chance we’re going to have to refer back to the baby photos; Golden Wedding? Perhaps a more mature review will suit.

We may involve only an inner circle or a wider selection of family and friends – even keeping their identities a surprise until the final cut (conditions apply).

500+ testimonials (see this site, my Instagram and Anniversary Collection) illustrate the warm reaction this unique bespoke writing could inspire, not only in our text’s subject(s) but all those so touched to be included.

‘One of the most special things was how Hannah involved family and friends and made them feel important. The process made us realise what it was that we loved so much about each other, but sometimes just forget to say.’
Kay + Andy

Our text might blend chronological descriptions of key personal moments with slices of a collective view, reflecting how much our subject means to their loved ones.

This commission is especially popular as a unique gift idea, showcased in whatever frame appeals or through a more extended format in a photo book.

This unparalleled creative process offers a chance to share memories, insight and emotions in a permanent record which can be enjoyed long into the future.

This particular Portrait in Prose celebrates a birthday or anniversary at any age or stage, whether co-ordinated by the subject themselves or family and friends – feel free to contact me for more details.
