KP Illustrations

Tell us a little bit about your business.

Hi, brides! I’m Katie, a live illustrator bringing fashion-inspired portraits to life right at your celebration! I specialize in creating custom watercolor guest portraits that your loved ones will absolutely obsess over.

KP Illustrations brings a one-of-a kind artistic experience to your special event. Each portrait is styled with personality and details that make every guest look and feel like the main character.

With a background in Studio Art & Fashion, my work blends a high fashion-inspired sketch silhouette with whimsical watercolor technique to create keepsakes that feel both personal and artful. My work carries stylish modernity with a timeless touch, reminiscent of the loose strokes you might find in the pages of a couture sketchbook.

Live watercolor illustration is more than just entertainment; it’s a meaningful memento that guests actually treasure. If you’re looking for something truly special to offer your guests, I’d love to be a part of your celebration!

What makes your work unique?

I offer couples a full circle interactive experience that goes beyond traditional entertainment.

I’ve developed a refined live painting process that allows me to complete each portrait in approximately five to seven minutes while still maintaining thoughtful detail and artistry.The result is an experience that feels both engaging and allows many guests to be illustrated throughout the duration of your celebration.

Many of my clients are drawn to the fashion-forward style of my illustrations and the distinctly unique quality of my work. Guests love watching their portraits come to life in real time and leave with a custom piece of art that is both personal and beautifully crafted.

What is your ideal client like?

My ideal client is someone who appreciates the finer things. Someone who values thoughtful details and is looking for a way to take their celebration to the next level. They appreciate art, creativity, and the idea of incorporating something truly unique into their celebration.

Rave Reviews

One of the best things a bride could do for her wedding is to book a live painter, specifically KP Illustrations! It was such a unique and interactive experience for my guests while also giving them a memento from the day. I also think people really enjoy seeing talented people at work, so having Katie painting in person was another feature that my guests loved. I cannot recommend this enough!

Such a great experience! Katie was such a fun addition to our wedding reception. Guests are still raving about their portrait. We even used ours as our thank you card! Katie's communication was professional and prompt. I would recommend her to anyone looking for a fun addition for their guests!

Tori & Joey October 4, 2025

Working with Katie was an absolute pleasure. In addition to creating beautiful portraits, she was reliable, professional and easy to work with. Her communication was clear and timely throughout the process and she went above and beyond by promptly completing and delivering portraits she wasn’t able to finish on the day of the wedding. We couldn’t be happier with the results.
