Photographs and Personalisation

How do I order a personalised Christmas portrait?

Start by choosing a portrait from our Christmas gift collection. Select the available artwork options, upload your photograph and provide the personalisation details requested on the product page. Our artists then use your photograph to create your custom artwork.

What type of photograph should I upload?

Choose a clear, well-lit photograph that shows the subject's face, colours and important details. Avoid heavily blurred, extremely dark or distant photographs where possible. If you are unsure whether your photograph is suitable, contact our team before placing your order.

Can you create a portrait from an old photograph?

Older photographs may be suitable if the important features are still visible. The quality of the finished artwork will depend partly on the detail available in the original image. If your photograph is faded, damaged or low-resolution, please ask our team to check whether it is suitable.

Can you combine people or pets from different photographs?

This may be possible for selected portrait designs. If you would like to bring people or pets from separate photographs into one piece of artwork, contact us with your photographs and explain what you have in mind. Our team can advise on the available options before you order.

Can I personalise the background, names or text?

Personalisation options vary depending on the portrait. Selected designs allow you to choose background colours, add names or include other text. Check the individual product page for the options available with your chosen artwork.

Are Oh Barney portraits created by real artists?

Yes. Oh Barney specialises in custom artwork created by real artists. Each portrait is based on the photographs and personalisation details supplied with the order. Explore our personalised Christmas artwork to find a style you love.

Artwork Options and Delivery

Can I order a framed, unframed or digital portrait?

Oh Barney offers framed, unframed and digital-only options across selected portrait products. Availability depends on the artwork you choose. For physical artwork, check the size and frame options on the product page. You can also explore our digital portrait options.

Do you offer digital Christmas gifts?

Yes. Selected Oh Barney portraits are available as digital files. A digital portrait is a thoughtful option for someone who would prefer to arrange their own printing or display their artwork digitally. Digital portraits still require time for our artists to create the artwork, so please order ahead.

Do you deliver personalised Christmas gifts across Australia?

Yes. Oh Barney offers delivery of physical artwork across Australia, including Melbourne, Sydney, Brisbane, Perth, Adelaide and regional locations. Free delivery is advertised for Australian orders. Please review our shipping information for applicable conditions and delivery details.

How long does a personalised Christmas portrait take?

Every personalised portrait requires artwork preparation. The overall time depends on the product, artwork requirements, production and, for physical orders, delivery location. Check the current information on your selected product page and allow extra time during the busy Christmas period.

When should I order for Christmas 2026?

We recommend ordering early because personalised artwork takes time to create. Christmas ordering deadlines can differ between framed, unframed and digital portraits. Please check the latest Christmas delivery information on our Christmas gifts page or contact our team before ordering. Delivery by Christmas cannot be assumed for orders placed close to the holiday.

Can I order a Christmas gift if I live outside Australia?

If you are ordering from overseas for someone in Australia, you can explore the available products and Australian delivery options. For international delivery or any special arrangements, please contact Oh Barney to confirm availability before ordering.

Ordering, Gift Vouchers and Customer Support

Can I buy a Christmas gift voucher instead of choosing a portrait?

Yes. An Oh Barney gift voucher is ideal when you want the recipient to select their own photograph, portrait style and personalisation options. Browse our gift voucher options and check the product details before purchasing.

Can I order personalised Christmas gifts for employees or clients?

Yes. Oh Barney offers personalised corporate gifting solutions for Australian businesses. Custom artwork can be used for employee appreciation, client gifts, settlement gifts and other special occasions. Visit our corporate gifting page to learn more and discuss your requirements.

Can I see customer reviews before ordering?

Yes. You can explore feedback and photographs shared by Oh Barney customers to see how their personalised artwork turned out. Visit our customer reviews page and check reviews displayed on individual product pages.

What should I do if I have questions about my order?

Our team can help with questions about photographs, artwork options, personalisation and existing orders. Please contact Oh Barney with the relevant details. If you have already placed an order, include your order number so the team can assist you more easily.
