Photos & Unique Gifts: 

Looking for special, unique, one of a kind gifts for the pet lovers in your life? Pet photo gifts are a perfect gift for a graduation, birthday, or holiday time, and they make a lovely memorial memento for a pet who has passed away. 

I offer pet photography or will use your photos to create unique, personalized items taking into consideration the pet's personality and the recipient's taste / requests.

Some of the more popular items include mugs, glasses, water bottles, magnets, canvases, pillows, blankets, keychains, photo tiles, puzzles, jewelry boxes, aprons, & canvas bags. I love creating them and my clients cherish the results.

I invite you to take a look at the Products page for examples and client comments.
