Portraits That Capture Their Soul
The Story Behind Paw & Portrait

The Story Behind Paw & Portrait

I started this after losing my own dog Max.

I kept looking at photos, but they never felt like enough. So I began turning them into pencil-style portraits — something more lasting, more personal.

What started as something for myself slowly became something others wanted too.

Now, I help pet owners turn their favorite photo into artwork they’ll treasure forever.

Okay I was SO skeptical ordering this but when I opened the file I literally cried. It looks exactly like my golden retriever Biscuit. Every little detail, even the way his ears flop. My husband said it's the best money I've ever spent and honestly he's right lol

★★★★★

Got this for my mom for Christmas. She lost her lab Duke last year and I wanted something special. She couldn't even talk when she opened it, just tears. Worth every single penny. Already ordering one of my own dog.

★★★★★

The turnaround was so fast! I ordered on a Monday and had it in my inbox by Wednesday. Printed it at Walgreens and framed it the same day. Looks absolutely beautiful on my wall.

★★★★☆

Really beautiful work. My only tiny complaint is my dog's eyes are brown not hazel but honestly you can barely tell. Still hung it up proudly. Would order again for sure.

★★★★★

I've ordered from 3 different pet portrait places before and this is BY FAR the best. The pencil style gives it such an elegant look. My poodle looks like royalty lol

★★★★★

I ordered portraits of both my dogs and I can't stop staring at them. They captured my pitbull's goofy smile perfectly. My friends keep asking where I got them done.

★★★★★

This was a gift for my sister who's obsessed with her french bulldog. She posted it on her Instagram immediately lol. The quality is insane for this price honestly.

★★★★☆

Beautiful portrait. Took a little longer than expected but they did email me to let me know so I appreciated that. The final result was stunning though so no complaints really.

★★★★★

I am not exaggerating when I say this is my favorite thing I own. My beagle Lucy looks SO real in this portrait. I ordered the print-ready file and got it printed on canvas. Obsessed.

★★★★★

Just ordered my third one. I keep gifting these to friends when their dogs pass and every single person has cried happy tears. It means so much more than a regular photo.

★★★★★

Got this for my wife's birthday. She's been wanting a portrait of our corgi forever. She absolutely loved it. Easy process, great result, fast delivery. Can't ask for more.

★★★★★

The detail is unreal??? Like you can see individual fur strands. I zoomed in so much just admiring it. My german shepherd looks majestic. 10/10 would recommend to literally anyone with a pet.

★★★★★

I was nervous because my dog is black and I thought the details wouldn't show up well in pencil style but WOW they nailed it. You can see every little feature. So impressed.

★★★★☆

Really nice work! Wish there was an option for a background but the plain white actually looks really clean and modern so I'm not mad about it. My dachshund looks adorable.

★★★★★

I cannot believe this only cost $20. I paid $150 somewhere else for something half as good. This is genuinely gallery-worthy art of my husky. Ordering more for Christmas gifts.

★★★★★

My dog passed away last month and this portrait is now my most treasured possession. They captured his sweet face perfectly from just a phone photo. I can't thank you enough.

★★★★★

Got the bundle deal and it was SO worth it. Used the mobile wallpaper version as my phone background and printed the A3 for my living room. Love having both.

★★★★★

Fastest turnaround ever. Ordered Friday night, had it Saturday morning. And the quality didn't suffer at all. My chihuahua mix looks perfect. Already told all my dog mom friends.

★★★★★

Surprised my girlfriend with a portrait of her rescue mutt and she literally screamed. Best reaction ever. The artist really captured his derpy little face. Highly recommend.

★★★★★

Third time ordering and the quality is always consistent. This time I got my parents' old golden retriever done from a photo from like 2009 and it still came out perfect. They're magic.

★★★★☆

Love the portrait itself. Only giving 4 stars because I wish the revision process was a bit faster but the end result is beautiful so it's really a minor thing.

★★★★★

Okay I need everyone to stop scrolling and just order this. I spent weeks going back and forth and I regret not ordering sooner. My lab looks INCREDIBLE. Just do it.

★★★★★

Bought this on impulse at 2am and it's the best impulse purchase of my life lol. My boxer looks so distinguished in pencil style. Already planning to get my cat done too.

★★★★★

I work at a vet clinic and I've been recommending these to clients who lose their pets. Everyone who's ordered has come back to thank me. The quality speaks for itself.

★★★★★

My yorkie is the hardest dog to photograph because she never sits still but they somehow made her look like a perfect little angel. I'm shook. This is going above the fireplace.

★★★★★

Ordered two portraits, one for each of my shih tzus. They look like little aristocrats lol. The pencil shading on their fur is incredible. Best purchase this year easily.

★★★★★

I literally gasped when I opened the email. My rottweiler looks so gentle and sweet in this portrait which is exactly who he is. People always think rotties are scary but this captures his true soul.

★★★★★

Ordered this for my daughter who just moved to college. She left her dog behind and cries about it every week. She hung the portrait in her dorm room and it made her so happy.

★★★★☆

The portrait is gorgeous, no question. I just wish I could've gotten a specific pose but the one they chose from my photo still looks great. My maltese is a little model honestly.

★★★★★

I got this as a Mother's Day gift for my grandma. She has a miniature schnauzer she treats like her baby. She cried and then immediately called everyone in the family to tell them about it.

★★★★★

Five stars isn't enough. My border collie looks like she's about to jump off the page. The expression in her eyes is perfect. I don't know how they do it from just one photo.

★★★★★

I've gifted these to four different people now. My go-to gift for any dog lover. Never disappoints. The reactions are always priceless.

★★★★★

Got the print-ready PDF and took it to a local print shop. They printed it on thick matte paper and framed it. People who visit my house think it was done by a professional artist in person. Nope, just Paw and Portrait lol

★★★★★

The mobile wallpaper version is such a nice bonus. My dog is now my lock screen AND my home screen AND a framed portrait on my wall. No regrets at all.

★★★★★

My great dane has the most goofy face and they captured it perfectly. I showed it to my coworkers and now three of them have ordered their own. You're welcome lol

★★★★★

I lost my baby girl Sadie two weeks ago. Having this portrait feels like she's still here watching over me. I look at it every morning. Thank you for giving me this gift.

★★★★☆

Really good quality. My only feedback would be that the ears could've been a tad bigger on my basset hound because those ears are his whole personality lol. But overall very happy.

★★★★★

This is my second order. First one was my childhood dog from an old blurry photo and they still made it look amazing. Just ordered my current pup. Absolutely love this company.

★★★★★

I used the revision they include and they were so nice about it. I asked them to make the nose a little darker and they sent the updated version within hours. Great customer service.

★★★★★

Bought this for my wife and she literally made it her profile picture everywhere. Facebook, Instagram, WhatsApp. She's obsessed. Best $20 I ever spent.

★★★★★

Y'all I cannot. The way they got my golden doodle's curls is actually insane. Pencil style was the perfect choice because you can see every single curl. I'm obsessed.

★★★★★

Ordered for my daughter's birthday. She's 12 and loves her dog more than anything. She literally jumped up and down when she saw it. Best mom moment ever.

★★★★★

I've been looking for something like this for months. So glad I found it. My australian shepherd has heterochromia and they even got the two different eye colors right. Incredible attention to detail.

★★★★★

Printing tip for anyone reading this: get it printed on watercolor paper. It makes the pencil style look even more incredible. Trust me. The portrait itself is a 10/10 though.

★★★★★

I speak very little english so I was worried about the ordering process but it was so simple. Just uploaded the photo and that's it. And the portrait of my pomeranian is beautiful. Gracias!

★★★★☆

The portrait is lovely but I do think the file size could've been bigger for printing at larger sizes. At A3 it looks great though. My cavalier king charles looks so regal.

★★★★★

I put the portrait next to an actual photo of my dog and showed people. Everyone said the portrait somehow looks even better than the photo??? How is that possible lol. Incredible work.

★★★★★

Ordered on a whim after seeing an ad and I'm so happy I did. My rescue pit looks absolutely stunning. She's had a rough life and this portrait makes her look like the queen she is.

★★★★★

I'm 68 years old and not great with computers but the ordering was easy even for me. Uploaded a photo of my westie and got the most beautiful portrait back. My book club ladies all want one now.

★★★★★

This hit different. My childhood dog Pepper passed 5 years ago and I only had one good photo of him. They turned it into the most beautiful portrait. I keep it on my nightstand. Crying typing this honestly.

★★★★★

Bought 6 of these as bridesmaids gifts. Each one got a portrait of their own dog. They all freaked out. Best bridesmaids gift idea ever and I will die on that hill.

★★★★★

The pencil texture is so realistic. It genuinely looks like someone sat down with my dog for hours and sketched him by hand. My jack russell has never looked more handsome.

★★★★☆

Good portrait overall. The background is plain white which I knew going in but I still think an option for a light gray or cream would be nice. The dog itself looks amazing though.

★★★★★

I have three huskies and ordered all three in one go. Now I have a gallery wall of my babies and it is the first thing people comment on when they walk in. So worth it.

★★★★★

My friend recommended this and I was skeptical. But wow. My bulldog looks like a Renaissance painting in pencil form. I've already ordered one for my neighbor's dog too.

★★★★★

Got one of my hunting dog. He's a GSP and they nailed the spots, the posture, everything. Even my buddies who don't care about art said it looked awesome. That says something.

★★★★★

I zoomed in to 400% on the file to check the quality and there was zero pixelation. The detail at full resolution is stunning. Printed it large format and it looks gallery quality.

★★★★★

My dog is literally the ugliest cutest dog alive and they made him look BEAUTIFUL while still looking like himself?? That takes real talent. I'm telling everyone about this.

★★★★★

I sent a kind of blurry photo because it was the only one I had of my dog who passed. They still made it work and it looks incredible. I didn't think it was possible. Thank you so much.

★★★★★

Just got my portrait and immediately set it as my phone wallpaper. The mobile version they include is perfectly sized. It's the little things that make you feel like they actually care.

★★★★☆

Gorgeous work. Would've been 5 stars if the delivery was a bit quicker, took about 4 days for me. But honestly the wait was worth it because the quality is top notch. My labradoodle looks perfect.

★★★★★

I'm a graphic designer so I'm picky about art. This exceeded my expectations. The composition, the shading, the detail in the fur. Truly professional quality work. My weimaraner looks stunning.

★★★★★

I ordered this at midnight, got a confirmation email right away, and had the finished portrait in my inbox 2 days later. Smooth process from start to finish. And my cocker spaniel looks adorable.

★★★★★

I don't write reviews ever but this deserves it. Got one for my wife's birthday of our old beagle mix who passed last year. She broke down crying. It means more than I can say. Thank you.

★★★★★

Fun fact: I showed the portrait to my dog and she tilted her head at it. Even SHE recognized herself lol. The likeness is that accurate. 100% recommend.

★★★★★

I'm a dog groomer and I get asked about pet gifts all the time. This is now my #1 recommendation. I've sent at least 20 people here. The quality is always consistent and the price is unbeatable.

★★★★★

My boyfriend thinks I love my dog more than him and honestly after seeing this portrait he might be right lol. My doberman has never looked better. Already ordered a second one of my parents' dog.

★★★★★

I'm retired and my little sheltie is my best friend. This portrait sits on my mantel and everyone who visits says it's the sweetest thing. Made my whole month honestly. Beautiful beautiful work.

★★★★☆

Very impressed with the quality. Took off one star only because my dog has a small scar on his ear that wasn't included but I understand that's a tiny detail. Everything else is flawless. Love it.

★★★★★

This is ART. Real, actual art. I put it in a gold frame and it looks like something from a museum gift shop except it's MY dog. My sweet old golden retriever deserves to be in a museum honestly and now she basically is.
