We are a small group of devoted artists based in the UK and parts of the USA, bound by one shared passion: creating portraits that bring memories to life. For years, we worked behind the scenes for a well-known portrait company. We gave it everything — our time, our talent, our hearts — often working nearly 20 hours a day, just to make sure every portrait was perfect.

We were paid far less than we deserved, but we stayed. Why? Because nothing compares to the feeling of knowing our art made someone cry tears of joy, smile through grief, or feel close to someone they’d lost. That feeling was priceless to us.

But eventually, even that couldn’t cover the pain. Our salaries began to arrive late — not just by days, but by months. We were exhausted, overlooked, and heartbroken. The passion was still there… but the respect wasn’t. And one day, we looked at each other and said, “Enough is enough.”

We walked away from the company — with nothing but our talent, our hope, and the love we had for what we do. We began accepting direct orders, one by one. Slowly, with every portrait, we rebuilt. We saved. We believed.

And today? We’re proud to say we’ve created thousands of deeply personal portraits, received thousands of emotional messages, and helped thousands of people reconnect with the ones they love — through art that speaks to the soul.

Below are just a few of those stories. Every one of them reminds us why we started… and why we’ll never stop.
