Notes From
Friends
(FORMER CLIENTS, I MEAN)
THE MOST CHERISHED
memories ARE THE
ONES YOU CREATE together
I want you to close your eyes and picture this: it’s five years from now. You’re at your best friend’s house, sharing a bottle of Hunter Valley red, when she catches you smiling at a framed watercolour portrait- the one you gave her on your wedding day. You both pause, reliving the joy, the emotion, the love.
That moment happens again and again, in every home you visit. Your wedding day lives on, not just in your memory, but in the hearts and homes of everyone who shared it with you.
​
Live illustrations are so much more than just portraits. On the day, they spark curiosity and amazement as your guests watch themselves come to life in watercolour. Afterward, they become cherished keepsakes, a lasting reminder of how loved and valued your guests felt on your special day.

HOW IT WORKS...
LET ME TAKE CARE OF EVERYTHING FOR YOU—
I'LL EVEN BRING MY OWN DESK, CHAIR & LIGHTING.
While your guests indulge in your love-fest, I will create beautiful A5 watercolour portraits for them to take home.
01
Photograph
After setting up, I will take reference photos of your guests — either working from a 'VIP' list supplied by you, first-in-first-served for shorter bookings or your entire guest list
02
Paint
Based on the reference photos , I will paint bespoke portraits of your guests (either individuals or couples) while your they celebrate with you. They will be amazed as they see a version of themselves come to life in watercolour.
03
Reveal
This is the moment everyone RAVES about. At the end of the session the portraits are packaged in a clear sleeve and presented to your guests to take home
Oh my gosh,
we get to keep this?
THIS IS YOUR world
I'M JUST LIVING IN IT...

TO SOAK IN EVERY
UNFORGETTABLE MOMENT
By inviting me into your world, surrounded by the people who’ve shaped your life, you’re giving me a true honour, and I don’t take that lightly.
​
On your day, my goal is for you to feel fully present and completely yourself. When you book me, you can trust that I’ll care for your guests with the same warmth, attention, and respect that you would.
"Seriously, WE WOULD HAVE CHANGED OUR DATE IF LISH WASN'T AVAILABLE!"

GO AHEAD, LET ME sweep
YOUR GUESTS OFF THEIR FEET
Booking your live portrait experience is about to be the easiest part of your wedding planning journey
1. Enquire
Start by filling out the enquiry form- make sure to include your date, venue name and your guest numbers. I will check availability and respond with the next step to lock your date in my diary.
2. Confirm
Let's lock this thang down! A $500 deposit is required to book your date, which will block out your date in my diary. The remaining balance is due 4 weeks prior to your wedding date.
3. Finer Details
4 weeks before your day I will contact you to finalise the on-the-day details - such as start time, VIP priority guests to be painted, where you'd like me to set up, etc.
4. Your Day
While you soak up the magic of your day, I will discreetly set up and take quick reference photos of your guests. During the session, your guests will be mesmerised as I paint their portraits live. Each completed portrait will be packaged in a clear sleeve for them to take home.
