The smallest canvas I will paint on is 16 x 20 for an individual portrait.  Based on the type of portrait determines the size of the canvas.  I prefer to meet the person, but in some cases this is not possible, so I will work from a photograph alone.  I reserve the right to request another photo be taken if the quality is less than professional.  For example, I will not work from a snap shot. (home photo's lack the appropriate lighting and detail needed for an oil portrait) I prefer to use 8 x 10 photo's for  accurate detail, however I will work with a 5x7 if that is all you have.
