SILHOUETTES
I've been doing vintage-looking silhouettes for hundreds of families over the years as a unique way to preserve their children and pets. My silhouettes are created virtually through a profile picture that you can shoot yourself using the details below. The final product is a high-resolution, print-ready digital file delivered to your inbox for you to print anywhere you'd like.
If you're interested in having a sihouette done to hang in your home or to offer as a unique gift, please fill out the form below.
How does it work?

Once the prints are complete (usually within 24-48 hrs of submitting your images), I will email you low-res screenshots for your approval. You can make suggestions or edits.

When I have your approval, I will release the print-ready artwork upon receipt of payment. I accept Venmo, PayPal, Google Pay, CashApp, and Apple Pay. Zelle is not an option unfortunately.

If you have selected the print and ship option, I will send the updated final cost before you pay.
Tips for
TAKING THE PERFECT PROFILE SHOT
Have your subject completely turned 90 degrees to the side; try to avoid just a head turn where the trunk is facing you but the head is turned. Shoulders and ear should be aligned and should be facing away from you.
Make sure the background is distinct from the subject. Make sure your subject is in focus. Mouth closed is usually best.
Shoot directly in line with the ear; don't shoot at an angle from above them or below them.
For girls: put their hair up in a ponytail, braid, headband, or bow- use their signature style. 90% of my clients don't like the silhouettes with their girls hair down because it makes the neck area look abnormally thick. If you have a toddler with short hair that won't go up, that's completely fine.
For babies and toddlers: in order to get them sit still, put them in their high chair and shoot when they are distracted; many people like to do this when they are captivated watching TV.
iPhone photos are fine- Send them to medea@peacockcreativeco.com; do not send them through instagram or any form of social media where they will automatically be compressed.
