Chelsdrawsyou Gift Card

Once completed, I e-mail you a draft of your painting. (Please check your junk mail!) This is where you can tell me you love it - send me my final print files ASAP! Or, you let me know what you don't love about it and we work together to make it perfect for you. 

Okay, you freaking love it! Awesome. I send you your final print files:

• Print Quality JPEG files in the size(s) you selected

You will receive digital image files to print yourself. 

All you need to do is bring your portrait file (on your phone - in the final email that I send to you) to your printer!I recommend printing using Staples' Photo Print Centre,online or in person (Canada & USA). I have heard good things about the Walmart Photo Kiosks as well!

Or you can bring your portrait files to your local printer and they will be happy to assist you.I prefer a matte photo finish to glossy. If you are gifting without a frame I would recommend printing on a heavier card stock.

I hear this a lot, and I get it. Printing might feel like an extra step, but honestly? It’s actually kind of the best part.

With a digital portrait, you’re not waiting on shipping or hoping a package doesn’t get lost. You get the file instantly and can print it however you want. Big, small, matte, glossy—whatever fits your vibe.

And framing? That’s where you can really make it personal. Maybe you find a gorgeous vintage frame at a thrift shop or pick something sleek and modern. You’re not stuck with whatever a store sends you—it’s completely yours to style.

Plus, it’s way more cost-effective. No shipping fees, no markup. Just a high-quality piece that you can print as many times as you want. Gift it, frame it, even make it into a card.

And if you’re thinking about the planet? Digital means no shipping trucks, no extra packaging—just a beautiful piece of art without the extra carbon footprint.

So yeah, printing might seem like an extra step, but in the end, it gives you all the control. And that’s kind of the best part.
