A gift with someone you love at its heart
A familiar face can bring a whole family story to mind: the mother who made everyone feel welcome, the grandfather with a story for every occasion, the person whose kindness you still carry.
Create a portrait of someone you love, or one of yourself to share with your family. Choose a setting that is meaningful to you and personalize it with one clear photo.
Hang it where the family gathers, or give it as a way to say, “You hold a special place in our family.”

How it works
From a familiar photo to a meaningful gift in three steps.
1. Upload one photo
Choose a portrait setting and upload a clear photo of yourself or the person you want to honor. A well-lit phone photo is fine.
2. Preview before you pay
Enter your email to see the personalized preview. Check the likeness and composition, and try another photo if you wish. Decide whether to buy after you see it.
3. We print and ship
Choose your canvas size and place your order. We print it in the USA and ship it stretched on a wooden frame, ready to hang.
Made for the moments that matter
A personal way to say, “You hold a special place in our family.”
For a parent or grandparent
Celebrate the person behind the stories, traditions, and memories your family shares.
Christmas & holidays
Give a familiar face a special place in their home, with a portrait chosen just for them.
Birthdays & anniversaries
Mark a meaningful milestone with a portrait of someone who makes it worth celebrating.
Just because
You do not need a special date to tell someone how much they mean to you.
Every portrait is printed to order on canvas at a U.S. print facility and ships stretched on a 1.5-inch pine frame, ready to hang.
You’ll get a tracking number the moment it ships.
Give your family stories a place on the wall.
Think of the stories that come up when your family sits together. A parent’s advice. A grandparent’s favorite saying. The moments you want your children and grandchildren to hear about.
A portrait of someone you love can be a place to begin those conversations. Personalized from their photo in a setting that is meaningful to your family, it brings a familiar face into the room and invites you to tell the story behind it.
Their familiar face. A portrait setting you choose.
Choose from our Cherokee-, Navajo (Diné)-, and Choctaw-inspired settings, with a woman’s or man’s portrait available for each. Each setting has a preset rider, horse, clothing, and landscape; your photo personalizes the face.
The portrait is an artistic tribute to the person in your photo. The scene is imagined and does not document an ancestor’s appearance or a moment from family history.
Review your personalized preview before ordering, then choose the canvas size for your home or gift.

Can I see the portrait before I order?
Yes. Upload a photo, choose your portrait setting, and press Preview my portrait. Enter your email to see the watermarked preview on this page. Your email also receives occasional news from Americanista; you can unsubscribe at any time.

Whose photo should I upload?
Whose photo should I upload?
Upload a clear photo of yourself, a parent, a grandparent, or another person you want to honor. The face in that photo is the face personalized in the portrait.
The portrait celebrates the person you choose in an imagined setting. It does not reconstruct an unknown ancestor from your own face.
What kind of photo works best?
What kind of photo works best?
One face, looking roughly at the camera, in decent light. A phone snapshot is fine. Avoid sunglasses, hats that shadow the eyes, and group shots.
The portrait keeps the age in the photo: lines, grey hair and all. If you want a younger version of someone, send a younger photo.
