What Real Pet Parents Are Sayin'

Client testimonials

If you have an animal lover in your life this is a perfect gift for them. I ordered 3, one for each of my dobermans and they are perfect! He does an Amazing job of adding in details.

Captured my French Bulldog Ruby’s personality! We love the picture and are planning on ordering another one for Ruby’s brother Fergus! Highly recommend!

- Julie S.

I could not be happier with the portraits of our grandbeagle! My husband and I ordered them as a Christmas gift for our son. I was concerned that his lively, joyful pup's spirit wouldn't be captured from the photos we presented - he becomes very serious when a camera is present! - but the portraits really reflect his personality. Just perfect!

- Deborah M.

The moment we opened the package, my wife and I laughed and smiled. John captured our pets perfectly. I know that we will want more further down the road. Thanks again, Mr. Lafree!

Recently we submitted photos of our 4 dogs to John for custom caricatures. Armed with just a few pictures of each dog and a short description of each dog's personality, he set off creating the most amazingly realistic caricatures of each dog. The expressions couldn't have been more spot on and the theme we wanted for each drawing was so how I pictured it in my own head! John is fantastic and I would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a keepsake of their pet or wanting to give a unique gift to someone.

My little one eyed Bandito's portrait is AMAZING!! John captured him perfectly. I have been chuckling ever since it arrived. It's an instant smile for everyone who sees it. I can't wait to get one of my one eyed girl Cherry Pie. You NEED this in your life. I promise you will not be disappointed!!

- Joey H.

Really impressed with the portrait of our Chihuahua, Dupree. John really nailed some of the little details that easily could have been missed. He captured our little guy perfectly. If you are thinking about getting a portrait done... DO IT!! Totally worth it!
