Alice-in-Wonderland-themed wedding reception caricatures!

What a wonderful and unique reception! I hand-drew beforehand, this Alice-detailed border on the bride and groom's caricature; for the guests I drew the same, and had copies made on blue paper (the wedding color).

My Victorian attire was happily worn to this one:

The ambiance was absolutely delightful:   Reel 1

The bride requested photos of all the drawings, so here they are:

And here's a Caricature Reaction: Reel 2

Thank you to my lovely Client and to Gigsalad for putting us together!

Silhouettes at lavender-hued wedding reception!

 Another weekend brought another silhouette event for me, this time 

a lovely and intimate wedding reception ...

...where everyone wore shades of lavender and purple (including me!)

All the guests' silhouettes were pasted onto lavender backing cards...here are the bride and groom, whom I did while they were having photos taken:

I'll be doing their full-length silhouette (from a photo) in my studio. 

They opted for a guest book (purple of course).

Here are all of the duplicate silhouettes!

The photographer was so excited to get a silhouette, here you can see the lavender backing card:

The bride left this review for me on Google:

I was thrilled to have the talented Emily providing silhouette portraits at my wedding this past weekend, it was the highlight of the reception! Definitely will be recommending her services to anyone interested!

Thank you for having me (and for the review, I appreciate it!), Brooke and Chase! Best wishes!

Silhouette baby-shower favors at the Hotel Dupont

For the second time in eight days, I did a wonderful event at the Hotel Dupont---this one was an elegant baby shower, held in a gorgeous wood-paneled room I'd never actually been in before...

This baby shower, curated by my friends at  ThePartyGirlsDE (look at that branded mirror they provided-- the purse and scarf are mine--it was too warm to wear--so I draped it on the mirror along with my 

Minnie-esque handbag) was decorated in black, red and gold, with a Disney touch...

All my backing cards reflected that with a tiny, tiny Mickey on them!  Here is the beautiful mother-to-be:

and a few of the guests:

I also did some guests by stealth: 

The Bash put me in touch with my lovely client, who told me her baby boy had her nose already, they could tell from the ultrasound! I just emailed her and told her to send me a photo so I could do a in-utero silhouette for her (which would be a first!!)

Thank you for having me!

Silhouettes at the Hotel Dupont: Cheers to Love 2025

 The second of three bridal fairs I'm doing this year was held on Sunday afternoon at the venerable Hotel Dupont in Wilmington, Delaware. I am used to doing caricatures here every December for The Grand Gala...so, it was amusing when my silhouette station turned out to be exactly where I always am, on the landing of the curved staircase outside the DuBarry Room!

It turned out to be a delightful and productive afternoon! Meeting other wedding professionals is always wonderful!

I offered free silhouettes to brides and grooms, and many were delighted to take me up on it!

Afterwards I took advantage of my beautiful surroundings to get a decent selfie for marketing purposes 

(yeah right;-) Many folks commented on my hat....it's a bona fide antique from the 1920's and it is getting so fragile :-(

Here's my IG Reel for some ambiance.

Now to book some weddings!

High School Mini-THON caricatures!

Second time doing this event! And they booked me for a longer period than last year, so as to get even more students drawn. That being said, I drew 79 students in four hours, using my line-drawing-only speed mode.

You can see ALL of them here on this IG Reel!

And some reactions and ambiance. :-)

Here's a few other pics from a VERY productive afternoon!

Yay! Thanks for having me!
