Start with a photo you already have
Not a retouched print. Not a generic sketch. Their photo, painted into a portrait that honours their memory and holds up on your wall for good.
An example of the transformation.
There is no wrong photo to start with
An old print, a phone photo, a scan from years ago, a photo that isn't perfectly sharp. If it's the photograph that looks most like the person you remember, it's the right one. You don't need professional quality to begin, only the picture that matters to you.
Choosing the photo that feels like them
If you have several photographs to choose between, the technically clearest one isn't always the right one. A photo where they're laughing, mid sentence, or caught in an ordinary moment often carries more of who they were than a formal, posed picture ever could.
There's no need to search for the most flattering angle or the sharpest image. Choose the photograph that makes you pause when you see it, the one where, just for a moment, it feels like them again. That's the photograph to send.
Take the time you need
There's no reason to rush this. Preview the portrait first, take as long as you need to look at it, and decide on paper, canvas, or a hand-painted piece only when you're ready. You are not charged until you place an order, after the preview.
Choosing how to keep it
You may want a memorial portrait you can hold, something physical enough to place a hand against: a framed print, a canvas, or a hand-painted piece. Or you may want to keep it private at first, a digital file to look at in your own time, without deciding yet whether it belongs on display anywhere.
Both are complete choices. Nothing about this requires committing to a public display, and keeping it private doesn't make it any less of a portrait. The preview lets you sit with it before choosing which direction feels right, whenever you're ready to decide at all.
A place to keep them close
A memorial portrait can hang wherever feels right: a hallway, a bedroom, next to other family photos on a shelf. It doesn't need a special spot of its own. It just needs somewhere you'll see it.

Frequently asked questions
- Can you restore an old, damaged, or low-quality photograph?
- Often, yes. Send the clearest version you have, even if it's creased, faded, or a scan of an old print, and the preview will show what's possible before you decide anything.
- How long does it take, and is there a way to see it before committing?
- You'll see a free preview before you pay for anything, and there's no deadline attached to when you decide. Once you order, production time depends on the medium: a digital file is fastest, while a framed print, canvas, or hand-painted piece takes longer to produce and ship. Check current shipping guidance for specific timeframes.
- Can you include someone in a group photo where they've since passed away, alongside people who are still here?
- Yes. If you have a photo of them with family members who are still with you, they can be brought together into one portrait, so everyone appears in the same piece.
- Is there a gentler way to preview this before I decide?
- The preview itself is built for exactly that. Look at it privately, take whatever time you need, and only choose a medium and size once it feels right.
