A real Sketchus artist creates the artwork by hand from your photo. Choose an Art Print reproducing that work, or an available Original finish for the physical artwork itself. A baby portrait suits a birth, christening or first birthday gift.

Why choose a baby portrait?


For parents

Keep an early smile, a familiar glance or a moment from the first months.

For grandparents

A personal picture of their grandchild, created from your own reference.

As a gift

A baby portrait suits a birth, christening, first birthday or a gift for the family.


Which photos work well?

Choose a current photo with the face, eyes and lighting clearly visible. A baby’s expression can change quickly, so choose the age and moment you want to keep.


  • The face should be well lit and easy to see.
  • Eyes, mouth and distinctive features should be recognizable.
  • Use a recent photo if you want the baby’s current appearance.
  • Send several references if you are unsure.
The artwork follows your reference. Tell us which photo best represents the expression you recognize.
