What are Live Guest Portraits

Live guest portraits are hand-painted portraits created on site during your event for guests to take home and enjoy. Each portrait is painted in Hannah’s signature style, creating a personalized keepsake that feels both meaningful and fun.

The Guest Experience

Live guest portraits create a shared point of interest throughout an event. Guests often stop by the portrait table more than once, watching the paintings take shape and looking for themselves, friends, or family as new portraits are added.

The experience feels interactive, personal, and memorable, with each guest leaving with a one-of-a-kind keepsake to take home.
