the Portrait Bar - Live guest portraits by Jamie Peterson
Live Guest Portraits are incredibly popular right now! They fulfill a few of these needs that clients have had:
They want to treat their guests to a unique experience and people always express surprise and delight that they get to have their portrait made.
“We are looking for ways to give our guests a memorable experience and this seems like a perfect treat!”
“I don’t want to spend money on party favors people will throw away or never think about. I would love to have a live painting of our friends and when we go over to their house, we see this favor hanging up.”

Classic Portrait Bar
- Guests pose for their portraits about 7-10 minutes/couple
- A traditional experience of posing with an artist for your portrait. Guests don’t have to stand perfectly still.
- I can generally finish about 10 guests or 5 couples per hour
- All portraits are ready for pick-up at the event
- The most economical option
- Fewer guests will receive portraits
Ways to Upgrade
Express Portrait Bar
- Every guest can get a portrait!
- Guests get a photo taken. I track guests with a numbering system to help keep names, photos, and portraits straight.
- An assistant will likely accompany me to help photograph and track guests for guest counts over 60
- Those portraits not finished at the end of the event will be mailed to you or the client in one package
- Client designates how many portraits they would like beforehand.
- Pricing is largely based on guest count

From Kaelin, event planner and bride-to-be who hosted a Portrait Bar at her engagement party:
"Thank you so much! You were incredible! No one can stop talking about how cool it was! Everyone is SO excited to get their portrait. [Groom-to-be] and his friends were all blown away. You truly were the best surprise of the evening to everyone."
