A close-up where the face fills most of the frame.
Natural daylight, with no harsh flash or heavy shadows.
Taken at eye level, looking towards the camera.

Framing & sizing

Why we sell our prints unframed

Most of our prints ship unframed, so you can choose a frame you love rather than pay for one you'd swap out.

Pick your own look. Match the frame to your room, oak, black or white wood, or a mounted gallery style.
Don't pay twice. A frame you didn't choose often gets replaced. Unframed keeps the cost on the artwork.
Ships flat and safe. A flat-packed print travels far better than glass.

Prefer it ready to hang? Add a fitted black, white or natural wood frame at the size step above.

Choosing a frame that fits

Our prints come in three standard sizes, so an off-the-shelf frame is easy to find:

21 × 29.7 cm (A4) — fits any standard A4 frame.
30 × 40 cm — a common ready-made frame size.
45 × 60 cm — a popular large size, also widely sold ready-made.

Two easy ways to frame it:

Frame to size. Buy a frame in the exact size above, no mount needed.
Use a mount (mat). Choose a slightly larger frame with a mount cut to your print size, for a gallery look with a border.

Tip: check the frame's artwork opening (not its outer size), and look for a real glass or acrylic front.

How it'll look on your wall

Here's how the three sizes compare against a standard three-seat sofa (about 2 m wide) and an adult, for scale:

Above a sofa or sideboard, most people choose 30 × 40 or 45 × 60 cm. For a shelf or a gallery wall of several prints, A4 works well.

About this print

Grandparents give the kind of hug that parents can't, unhurried, with nothing to get back to, no bedtime to enforce. Children notice the difference. This print is for the ones who know exactly what that hug felt like.

Send us a favourite photo of your grandparent with a grandchild, or the whole family piled in, and our artists will reimagine it as a soft watercolour portrait. The style has warmth in it: muted edges, gentle washes of colour, the feeling of something cherished rather than posed. It's an artist-reimagined digital watercolour, printed on premium paper and delivered in days.

A thoughtful gift for grandparents' birthdays, Christmases or simply a "thinking of you", and a gift for the grandchildren too, when they're older. Before anything prints, we send a free digital proof so you can see exactly how it'll look. Nothing goes to print until you're happy.

Available in three sizes, 21 × 29.7 cm, 30 × 40 cm and 45 × 60 cm, with an optional wood frame in Black, White or Natural for an extra £30. Ready to hang, ready to keep.

Frequently asked questions

Can I include more than one grandparent or grandchild in the print?

Yes, group photos work beautifully. Send us the photo you love most, with as many people in it as you like, and our artists will reimagine the whole scene as a watercolour portrait. The free digital proof lets you check everyone looks right before anything prints.

How do I know the photo I send will work well?

Most photos do, as long as the faces are reasonably clear and the image isn't blurred. When you upload your photo at checkout, our team will let you know if there's anything to watch out for, and the free digital proof means you'll see the result before committing to print.

What sizes are available, and do you offer framing?

The print comes in three sizes: 21 × 29.7 cm, 30 × 40 cm and 45 × 60 cm. You can add a wood frame, available in Black, White or Natural, for an extra £30. Framed prints arrive ready to hang.

How long does delivery take?

Once you've approved your free digital proof, your print is dispatched within a few days. We print close to you, so delivery is quick, and the proof step means there are no surprises when it arrives.

What if I don't like the proof?

Then we change it. The proof stage is there so you can ask for tweaks to the colours, the background or the likeness, and we'll keep revising until you're happy. Nothing goes to print until you approve it.

Can I return it if I change my mind?

Because every print is made to order from your photo, we can't accept returns for a change of mind. You approve a free digital proof before we print anything, so there are no surprises. And if a print arrives damaged or not as approved, we'll put it right straight away.
