Memorial Portraits
When someone we love is gone, a portrait can hold them close. We create memorial portraits of people and animals with patience, care and no pressure to hurry.
A gentle process
- Take your time. Your consultation moves at your pace. You can share stories, look through photos with us, or simply tell us what you remember most.
- Any photos will do. Older, blurry or imperfect photos can still become beautiful portraits. Send everything you have, and we will choose the best together.
- Bring them together. With our memorial photo merge, your artist can place a loved one beside the family, reunite pets who never met, or set a portrait in a place that meant something.
Choosing a medium
- Charcoal or pastel (Paper Collection): soft, timeless and quietly moving, behind museum glass.
- Oil (Oil Collection): warm, rich and lasting, for a portrait that becomes the heart of a room.
- Studio portrait: ready sooner, for an anniversary or a service.
As a gift
A memorial portrait is one of the most meaningful gifts you can give someone who is grieving. If you would like it to be a surprise, we will work with you quietly and can send a gift certificate so they choose the photo themselves.
Extra prints for family
Siblings, parents and grandparents often want a copy. Once your portrait is finished, we can make unframed giclée prints of it for everyone who loved them.
Your privacy
Memorial portraits are never shared publicly without your explicit permission.
