While we are all used to posing for cameras, posing for an artist is an experience which most people have never had.

Being captured through the eyes of an artist involves a meaningful exchange of energy in which the subject feels truly seen and appreciated.

I offer live sketching services tailored for your event with options to customize the process according to your number of guests, event activities, and budget.

Ambiance Sketching captures key moments at your event as they unfold while Fashion Sketching provides the most unique party favor on offer for your guests to take home a full body, full color, painted sketch of themselves.

Taryn's Wedding in Maleny, Oct 2024

Jeannie was amazing! Her sketches are beautiful and all our wedding guests thought this was such a fun idea and better then a photo booth! Jeannie was a pleasure to work with and had great communication throughout the entire process and we are so glad we had her as part of our day! Thank you so much!



Bayley's Wedding in Maleny, Aug 2024

Jennie was so easy to deal with! Very responsive and was able to accomodate all of our requests. We received all of the sketches back in a very short time frame and they look fantastic! We're so so happy with her service and would recommend her to everyone! Thanks Jennie ☺️

More Info


With unique entertainment and meaningful party favors combined, your guests will be buzzing with delight.

The sketches are completed using pencil and watercolour paint on cardstock or watercolour paper.

Customized paper with your event details, digital files of all the scanned sketches delivered to your email, and a video reel of the sketches with the song of your choice are included with any booking. As well, a link will be provided where your guests can access the digital file of their sketch .

You may prefer to have your guests pose for photos on my device which I sketch from rather than pose live so they are free to participate in the main event activities and then collect their sketch once complete.

I can work for a maximum of 6 consecutive hours on location and if required, complete any remaining sketches in my home studio over the following week and have them delivered to you.


I require a table and chair with a few meters of empty space in front for guests to pose, and an adequate amount of light.

If you'd like everyone at your event to be sketched, it works well to station my table at the entrance so I can take photos of your guests as they arrive.



Fashion Sketching/Guest Sketching:
based on $150/hr
6-8 people/ hour can be sketched on A5 paper
For high numbers of guests or time constraints, choose only a selection of your VIP guests to pose or I can display a 'Booked Up' sign once the quota of guest sketches has been reached.

Ambiance Sketching:
Base Price $450
Includes 1 hour live sketching + 2 hours painting (3 hours total)
Depending on the time frame available, the sketches may be painted afterwards at my home studio to ensure that time on location is spent catching every detail.


I have $30,000,000 Public Liability and Product Liability Insurance
