Signature Portraits: The Individual & The Couple

KGS Studios signature portrait of an elegant couple, displayed in a modern luxury living room with a city view.
A legacy often begins with the individual or the couple. We examine the unique bond that initiates every family’s narrative.

A KGS Studios Signature Portrait signifies the inception of a legacy. Artist Kevin G. Saunders captures the distinct character of an individual or the profound connection between a couple. This artistic approach defines a generation and narrates the story from its origin.

A Choice of Palettes: Timeless Monochrome or Rich Color

Timeless Monochrome draws inspiration from the tradition of Yousuf Karsh. This style eliminates distractions to emphasize pure form, character, and emotion.

Rich Color follows the painterly style of John Singer Sargent. This approach uses vibrant color and light to create a sense of presence, depth, and dignity.

You can choose from two classic styles for your Signature Portrait, each inspired by a master. Timeless Monochrome honors Yousuf Karsh by focusing on pure form, character, and emotion. Rich Color employs a painterly style to create a vibrant, lifelike portrait with depth and dignity, inspired by the work of John Singer Sargent.

No matter which style you pick, our goal is to create a true masterpiece that stands out. We make this choice together to tell your unique story in the best way.

A Collaborative & Respectful Process

Commissioning a Signature Portrait is an exceptional experience, and we make sure the process is comfortable, inspiring, and rewarding from start to finish. We invite you to be part of every step. Our goal is to build trust so you feel at ease and can show your true self in front of the camera.

1. The Conversation

Every commission begins with a conversation, not a camera. We take time to learn about your vision, your story, and your goals for the portrait. This helps us make sure we are on the same page before we begin creating.

2. The Vision & Preparation

We guide you through every step, from wardrobe and styling to setting the mood. Careful planning helps create a portrait that truly stands out. There are no surprises; just a shared commitment to excellence.

3. The Sitting

The portrait sitting takes place in a private, calm setting. We use classic lighting and take our time, giving you space to let your real character show.

4. The Unveiling & Selection

This is where your vision becomes real. We review your portraits not on a small screen, but projected at any size, even life-size, on our gallery wall. You will see precisely how your portrait will look in a real setting, and we can try out different museum-quality frames to find the perfect one for you. You are in complete control, and only the image you truly love will be crafted into your final heirloom.

An Heirloom Investment

Commissioning a Signature Portrait is more than just a purchase. It’s a lasting investment in your story. Unlike luxury items that fade, a portrait grows in value and brings meaning for generations.

Every commission is a unique collaboration. The final cost depends on your vision, including the size, complexity, number of people, and framing. We provide a custom quote after a free consultation, and you can find our price details here.
