  • "We are so happy with the portrait of Muffin. You truly have a beautiful talent. The detail of his curly hair, the precision to the photo, we are in absolute awe. I was going to give the portrait to my husband next week but I was just too excited. He absolutely loves it, so does Muffin. Muffin is two now but we miss his baby face. Now we can see it everyday on our wall."

We lost Holiday in August and have been planning on doing this for my husband, but just haven’t found the person that I thought could capture Holiday. This is so so special and so perfect. Thank you so much. I really really love it. Thank you!"

  • "Carolyn was an absolute joy to work with! She was prompt in correspondence and is clearly knowledgeable of her trade, not to mention incredibly talented. I commissioned a custom portrait of a family dog that meant so much to my Aunt and Uncle, and Carolyn captured Fritz’s expression and personality perfectly. She was also able to do our custom portrait in just about a months time, far quicker than I ever anticipated. Thank you again, Carolyn, for the wonderful custom dog portrait. I can’t wait to get another portrait done!"
