Who Stole the Snowman’s Scarf? ⛄🧣

We have three suspects. All of them have excellent alibis, and all of them are lying.

If you’ve been looking for something more unique for your walls this season than another “Live Laugh Woof” sign, this is for you. Bring the dogs. Bring the family, if they promise to behave. (The dogs usually do.) You’ll walk away with portraits you’ll actually want to hang, and the best Christmas card you’ve ever sent. Your sister-in-law will be quietly furious.

Two Mondays: Nov. 16 & 23 at my Midland studio.

There’s no session fee for my time. Just a $35 donation per dog, and 100% of it goes to SOS Animal Rescue of Midland County. Portraits are at regular studio prices.

So your dog becomes art, and a rescue pup gets food and a warm bed. That’s a pretty good use of $35. (Better than the scarf, anyway. We may never see that scarf again.)

Only 2 sessions left · Sunday, November 8
They won’t believe forever. ✨

If you’ve been looking for the perfect piece to hang over your mantel, this is it. One private hour with Santa, then a hand-painted heirloom portrait of the children and grandchildren you adore, ready to bring out Christmas after Christmas.

At my Midland, Michigan studio. When these are gone, reservations close until next year.

They won’t believe forever. One day the question start, the magic gets quieter, and Santa becomes a story they used to know. So I create the moment while they still believe in art. Five sessions each day, Midland, Sunday, October 25, and Bloomfield Hills, Sunday, https://kathymorley.com/santa-2026 for all the details.

Who do you love enough to put on your wall? 🤍

Not a what. A who.

The golden retriever who followed you from room to room. The horse who carried your daughter through every hard day. The child who still leaves cookies out, but is starting to wonder.

On the Impact Stage, I said, "Maybe beauty is love made visible." I still think that's the truest thing I know about what I do.

Right now I'm painting two stories:

🐴 50 Girls. 50 Horses. An international portrait project celebrating girls, their horses, and the extraordinary bond between them.

🎅 The Art & Magic of Santa. One private hour with a Santa so real even the parents believe, transformed into heirloom art. One day only in Midland (Oct 25) and Bloomfield Hills (Nov 8).

Comment 50 for the 50 Girls details.
Comment SANTA for the Santa details.
I'll send them straight to your DMs. ✨

It's 72° and sunny… and Santa is already booking. 🎅✨

The Art & Magic of Santa is back in Midland for ONE day only: Sunday, October 25.

This isn't a mall Santa photo. It's a private, one-hour experience. Your children step into Santa's workshop in the pajamas and nightgowns we provide, and they live a whole story with him. Our Santa is so real that even the parents believe.

Afterward, each image is hand-painted with light and magic into a fine art portrait made to hang above your mantle every Christmas.

Why October? Because the artwork takes weeks to create, and we want it in your hands in time for Christmas.

🎄 Only 5 families
📅 Sunday, October 25 · Midland
⏳ Reserve by October 20

The years when they wonder if Santa is real go by so fast. This year, they'll believe.

The last day of school is here.

And somehow, the Class of 2027 is about to begin senior year.

One minute they're asking you for snacks.

The next they're asking where you keep their passport.

Senior year is filled with "lasts"—the last first day of school, the last football game, the last homecoming, the last family summer before life begins pulling them in new directions.

Before the cap and gown.
Before college visits.
Before the next chapter begins.

Let's capture who they are right now.

✨ Class of 2027 Senior Sessions are now open.

Portraits for them.
Memories for you.

Twyla’s mom told me one thing: she climbs everything. Always has to be the highest point in the room.

So I didn’t fight it. I posed her on the arm of the chair — higher than the rest, exactly where she’d choose to be.

That’s the whole job. I just paint them as themselves.

Friesians are one of those breeds that stop you cold.

That mane. That movement. That presence.

Brianna’s owner told me watching her move takes her breath away every single time — so that’s exactly what I painted. Mid-gallop. Sun on her back. Like the whole world stopped for her.

This is a mixed media portrait — painted from a client photos, in a setting chosen just for her.

She came with her own passport. 🐾

Kaya is a three-year-old German Shepherd born in Germany — and according to her person, to know her is to love her.

She loves snow. Rolling in it, running in it, catching snowballs like it’s her full time job.

Now she’s on a wall forever — every snowflake painted by hand.
