Portraits for Your Cause!

A pricing guide for the elevated guest experience of Live Watercolor Portraits at Non-Profit and Benefit Events

Dear Planning Team,

I appreciate your interest in bringing a human-made, artistic experience to your upcoming event. Live watercolor portraits provide a delightful addition to any event and send your guests home with a truly unique keepsake. My team and I have painted portraits to benefit the Kershaw County United Way, Prisma Health Midlands Foundation, the Junior League of Columbia, Camp Cole, the Rosewood Educational Fund, and many more.

I have put together a range of options below so that we can best fit into your event budget, small or mighty. You can choose to gift each of your guests a complimentary portrait or we can set up a cash bar, where your guests purchase their portrait and we donate a portion of the sales back to your cause.

Thank you for your interest in my work and for the opportunity to serve my community.

Sincerely, Jamie

Julianne Sojourner - Floral Designer in South Carolina

Jamie Peterson and her team did a beautiful job at my daughter’s wedding this summer painting abstract portraits of our guests. Her portrait bar was attractive and approachable and created a little excitement for our friends and family. It was fun to watch them strike a quick pose and then receive a lovely keepsake of Ellis and Hank’s wedding.

Jamie was a dream to work with; professional, prompt and quick to respond to every question. As a floral designer and wedding stylist, I had admired her work for years and knew I would want to include her talents for my own daughter’s wedding reception.
