Every child has many sides—and every family has a unique vision for how they’d like that story told. Our two styles of backdrops showcase the beauty of both studio oil and garden oil portraits throughout the Raleigh area. Displayed side by side, they highlight the subtle power of setting and how it shapes the feeling of the final piece.

The studio oil portrait offers a clean, classic backdrop that draws attention to the subject’s expression, posture, and presence. There’s a timeless stillness to it—like a formal painting from another era, finished with hand-applied brushstrokes and framed in a traditional framing that will never go out of style.

The garden oil portrait, by contrast, feels sunlit and softly alive. With a backdrop of greenery and natural light, it celebrates the connection between child and earth. The beauty is the same, but the atmosphere is completely different—romantic, storybook-like, and filled with natural movement.

Both portraits are printed on giclée canvas and finished with real brushstrokes, giving each piece the texture and richness of traditional oil painting. Whether created indoors or outside, the result is museum-quality wall art that captures childhood in a way that lasts.

Each beautiful setting will help you give a full picture of your child’s personality and allow space for nuance and growth—one still and regal, one organic and light.
