When you commission your Portrait, try to think how would you like the future generations to see you.

For a family portrait try to dress and have your hair in a classical style that will not date the portrait studios. Think that your grandchildren and great grandchildren  will be able to identify with you. Instead of a cold picture, they will see a vibrant, lively portrait that will pass from generation to generation without fading.

A portrait painting can last hundreds of years. Family portraits are cherised by many generations. A contemporary portrait can be, classical or Renaissance style. When commissioning a family portrait with several children, some thought should be given about having all the portraits in one canvas. In general you want to keep your portrait as a child and it may not be possible if you have all your siblings in the same family portrait.
