Here are some tips for taking ideal silhouette photos:

1. Squat down to eye level and make sure you aren't able to see your subject's other eye or cheek. 

2. Please take the photo in good lighting with the flash turned off.

3. Subject should be relaxed with hair styled as usual, however silhouette's look best with long hair pulled back or up to expose the neck. I unfortunately cannot accommodate requests to "composite" a silhouette using multiple photos (i.e. profile from one and hair from another) or "create" a hairstyle that is not shown in the photo. 

4. The entire head and neck should be visible and not cropped.

5. If photographing a young squirmy subject, try taking their picture while they're watching TV or asleep on their side.

1. Select your desired Size, Color and Font. I am happy to add a name, age, year or short quote underneath the silhouette or select "None" to leave it blank.

2. Upload your best photo - make sure you're happy with it! It's what I'll use to create the silhouette. Follow the easy requirements from the Photo Tips tab below. 

3. Add to cart. Repeat with any additional silhouette orders and checkout. You'll receive a confirmation at the email address entered at checkout and I'll get to work on your order! Using the same email, I'll send you a proof to approve within 3-5 days where you'll be able to make any minor changes (color, orientation, small profile edits). Once approved, I'll print and package up your silhouette(s) and ship to your door!
