Charlotte and I both love to sketch on the iPad. About a year ago, I began creating silhouettes for friends and family from profile images they provided of their own kids and family members.
As a photographer, I've always loved taking "one last shot", as the sun is setting, of a family's silhouette against the colorful sky. Some of my favorite images I've taken of my own were taken at dusk on our old playset... just their silhouettes. They are so timeless and representative of my own childhood when I look at them. Naturally, these creations on my iPad were something I really resonated with, and making heirloom art for others was the goal.
Recently Charlotte started driving, (yes I am THAT old!!) and the girl needs money for gas, iced coffees, and college savings of course. Her summer job was seasonal, so we talked about how she could earn money and the idea of her joining me in silhouette making was one idea she actually liked. I am a big fan of teaching our kids to be entrepreneurs, and she has always loved being creative. She's very detailed with her artwork, and I know she is excited to get started (as am I!).
For now, Charlotte and I are offering digital silhouettes for $20 each.
If you'd like silhouette's done in time for Christmas gifts, contact us ASAP so we can work on those for you.
All we need from you is a profile image of your child (or individuals of your whole family!) taken on a light background in decent light. It really is that simple! We will turn your image into a quality piece of art you can print and frame. If you'd like us to do the printing and framing, we can work with you on that too!
Silhouettes are beautiful for any age child and adult! To get started, you can purchase your silhouette file here in our store, or through Venmo. E-mail us at cyphersphoto@gmail.com profile images of your child or loved one and we will get started asap.
Thank you for your support of this new "mother-daughter" venture.
