"Emily"
"After I reached out, we were presented this masterpiece in our home, and the unveiling brought tears to my eyes.
It was stunningly beautiful and I was surprised at how precisely my favorite picture of Emily was rendered with such detail (so much that I thought it had been photocopied it because it looked so perfect). Emily will now always be with us, looking over us.
Thank you for putting your love into Emily and making our memory of her so special."

Lacey B.
We commissioned Eternal Companion Studios to create a special portrait of our sweet Bentley dog that has left his body on earth. It was an extremely cathartic experience.
Not only a delightful experience, it was also so thoughtful, gentle, and intentional. The portrait is proudly displayed on our mantle. It brings us so much joy and evokes loving memories of our "Bentley boo".
His sweet spirit was captured perfectly.
