Nursery with Pet Portraits "I enjoyed working with Melissa every step of the way! She is professional, responsive, and utterly accountable for her work. Furthermore, she has an exceptional talent for capturing the personality and character of family pets, which is an invaluable gift! The portraits of our beloved dogs will remain a cherished item in our household for years to come. Thank you, Melissa, for all of your hard work!" ~ Kate


"I had wanted a portrait of our pups for a couple of years, but hadn’t found anyone that I thought did great work, and was reasonable. I started searching the internet, and came across your site, Melissa. After looking through all the information on your website, and seeing your prices, I knew I had found the right person to do the portrait. I completed the order, emailed some pictures and heard back from you almost immediately. After taking a few more pictures of Baxter to go with the view of the picture of Bailey, then choosing the background color, we were set. I was amazed at how quickly your turnaround time was, and how beautiful the portrait turned out. Then within a week of the completion, I received it. I can’t express how much my husband and I love the portrait.

"My husband had no idea what he was getting for Christmas this past year – so when he opened up the painting of ‘Jesse’ – you can see the joy in his face. The portrait of Jesse was his favorite present and how could it not be? Melissa did a great job in capturing the true essence of Jesse – that face, that gorgeous Golden face. We hang the portrait proudly in our home." ~ Caroline

No detail was overlooked: the colors, our special requests, etc. During such a difficult time in our lives, it also meant so much to us that you completed this special project so timely. You have not only given us a piece of art, but something that we will obviously treasure for a lifetime." ~ Shelby & Brad
