“My sister and I were overwhelmed by the portraits of the children for my fathers 60th. Caroline made the whole experience very enjoyable and easy - she takes photographs of children instead of requesting live sittings. We really will treasure them forever! Thank you Caroline.” - Jessica Peters

“Thomas gave me a portrait of our daughter Mary as a Christmas present. Caroline had previously been commissioned to paint Thomas's father and did such a wonderful job that she was the obvious choice. The painting fills my heart with joy each time I look at it. She has captured Mary's energy and spirit, alongside an uncanny likeness. Caroline communicated regularly with us on the progress and made sure we were completely happy throughout the process.”

“It all begins with an idea“I’ve never sat for a painting before so I wasn’t sure what it’d be like. Sitting for Caroline is like hanging out with a friend for tea/coffee. I wasn’t sure if I could sit still for that long but it wasn’t like that. I had no idea it’d be so much fun sitting for a portrait, it is not what you’d imagine. I haven’t laughed that much in ages…and the result is absolutely stunning.”

“The picture is a moment in time which I have wanted to capture and Caroline has caught it perfectly. The children's personalities shine through. She has managed to paint the naughty sparkle Poppy's eye, the specific rather unique way Arabella crosses her legs and looks after her little sister. Hugo was very young so who knows how she managed to paint his so perfectly. I will treasure this picture and know it will be enjoyed by the children forever, always.”
