Guest Sketch Artist
With a Master's in Graphic Design from Southeastern University, Emily has always had a passion for art, taking classes throughout her life. While her weekday role involves designing websites for an LA-based company, her weekends are dedicated to creating Keepsake watercolor sketches with our team.
Emily shares a love for traveling, photography, and music. She lives for adventure (having skydived twice!), and she always has a concert marked on her calendar. At Keepsake Studio, Emily blends her artistic heart with her adventurous spirit to create watercolor sketches that guests will cherish.

Guest Sketch Artist
Husband to our co-owner, Brittany, proud dad of two daughters, and dog-dad to two golden doodles. During the week, Caleb works as a home appraiser, but on weekends he brings his creativity to our team, capturing guests with his expressive watercolor sketches.
A U.S. Army veteran, Caleb rediscovered his love for art while studying at Polk State College, where he honed his skills in both charcoal and watercolor. His calm presence, artistic eye, and dedication make him a wonderful addition to Keepsake Studio.

“We did a combined package with the live painting of our first kiss and watercolor portraits of our guests and could not recommend this team enough. They were the highlight of the event and our friends loved their keepsakes! Our live painting is arguably one of the best live paintings I have ever seen, and this team truly was so much fun!
If you want a unique wedding gift for guests or even just something different for yourself, reach out to Keepsake Studio!”

“Holly, Brittany, and Caleb did such an amazing job at our wedding. Holly painted our portrait that we can’t wait to hang in our home for all of our days! guests LOVED watching her through the night and the final piece was true art. Brittany and Caleb worked so hard on painting all of our guests portraits (some of them multiple). Having Keepsake Studios at our wedding was truly one of my favorite parts of the day and guests absolutely loved it. such a unique and meaningful experience for all. Holly, Brittany, and Caleb, thank you so much for making our day complete!”

“Holly was an absolute dream to have at our wedding! She created the most stunning live painting of our venue, featuring the vintage car we booked and us in a romantic dip kiss. Watching her start with a blank canvas and bring our wedding scene to life was truly magical. Not only is Holly incredibly talented, but she also added such a unique and special touch to our celebration. Our guests were captivated by her process and loved seeing the painting come together throughout the night. Now, we have a breathtaking, one-of-a-kind piece of art that perfectly captures the essence of our wedding day.”

“Having Keepsake Studio at my daughter's wedding was an incredibly wonderful experience. We went with the full package, and we were so pleased. Our guests loved having a very unique keepsake, and everyone truly enjoyed seeing my daughter and son in law's special moment come to life on canvas. After meeting Holly and Brittany, we knew immediately that they would be part of our celebration. They felt like an extension of our family- their joy in sharing in our joy was apparent. We are so very thankful for investing in our day with this very unique and memorable service. I HIGHLY recommend Keepsake Studio!”

“I had Keepsake Studios come paint at my wedding and it was a HIT! Everyone was surprised and loved it and they were all so happy with their paintings. This was an awesome addition to our wedding and really provided a unique experience. Can’t imagine the wedding without Keepsake Studios! They were so kind and so wonderful as well. Loved it!! They also painted our beautiful venue - and we used the painting for our guestbook and our wedding invitations as well. We got so many compliments on both of these things as well!”
Jenna

“They are truly fantastic! Had them do faceless watercolor portraits as guest favors for our May 2025 wedding. The process was seamless.
The company is affordable and the favors are one of the things our guests keep raving about after the wedding.
Cannot recommend them enough!”
