If you need it by a specific date (birthday, Christmas, anniversary), tell the artist when you brief them — most can work to a deadline.
The best reference photos are: Well-lit (natural daylight is ideal — avoid harsh flash), Clear and in focus, not blurry or heavily filtered, Taken at the subject's eye level, not from above or below, Showing the personality you want captured (favourite expression, classic pose). Artists can often work with multiple photos — you can send 3-4 and let them pick the best elements from each.

Yes. Most artists share progress photos at key stages (typically after the initial sketch and again before final details) so you can request adjustments while there's still time to change things. The exact revision process varies by artist — agree it up front when you brief them, so expectations match on both sides.
