Does anyone know an artist who does custom portraits of folk in their garb?

Milord and I are about to celebrate a milestone anniversary, and I've been trying to think of a way to commemorate it. I finally hit on the idea of having a custom portrait done of us in our best garb (from photos). It's fairly easy to find artists who do custom portraits from photos, less so to find someone whose style suits the subject I'm looking for!

I've been combing through etsy, but it's taking a while to sort through 1400 hits.

Anyone have a lead?

I'm sure it's not what you're looking for, but Michaels has some sort of photo-to-portrait service.

I know Jennifer Thompson at least did it in the past. At least miniatures. They were awesome. And best of all, you could wear it with your garb later on.

While we've not purchased anything from these folks, I have perused the shop many times - they have awesome stuff!
