Our sweet Golden Retriever, Maggie, passed away on Sept 27th, and we knew a portrait of her would help heal our hearts. We could not be more pleased with Welham & Co. The entire process, from the initial order to delivery was impeccable. Customer service answered my questions quickly and efficiently. The portrait was packaged with such care! Thank you, Welham & Co for creating a beautiful portrait of our sweet girl!
Store owner replied: Hi Maryann, Thank you so much for sharing this with us. We're truly sorry for your loss, but we're honored that Maggie’s portrait could bring some comfort to you during this time. We're so glad you were pleased with the process and the care we took in creating her portrait. Sending you all the best, and thank you again for trusting us with such a special memory! Anna @ Welham & Co
Just beautiful exactly what I wanted can’t be any happier with the final product.

Very easy and picture arrived very shortly after I ordered it. Less expensive than other companies! Would recommend!
I LOVE IT! This was the last photo taken of my neighbor and his beloved Biscuit. While it wasn't the best quality photo, the Wellham team was able to work with it and the end result was absolutely perfect! A great surprise for my neighbor, who loved it as well!

Great tribute to our fur baby. Thanks so much!
I love it!!! Really love this company. They also make sure you like the design before they make the portrait. I had a bad experience with another company who did not asked me first if I liked the design. Thank you very much for your great work!
Our beloved Luna passed away earlier this year at the ripe old age of almost 11 1/2 years (old for a Great Dane) and having this picture done in the watercolor was perfect for preserving her memory. Thank you, we love it!
Love love love these prints. They have captured my two fur babies in a beautiful watercolor. I can't say enough how easy they make it to turn photo's into lasting artistic memories.
This is the second photo Welham has done for me …the first was my house…they do not disappoint!!! They are beautifully done and so easy to work with!
I recommend this company for a beautiful portrait made from your own photo . It came fast and was very nice . I can’t wait to see my friends response at Christmas.
We lost our faithful friend Ruby Nov 1st 2022. This was a present for my husband… Ruby’s partner in crime!
Very accurate picture. Dry pretty presentation and colouring. Swift delivery.
He was over the moon with the photo and then got to meet his new baby!
I was very satisfied with the results The picture will always remind me of those that hold a special place in my heart.
I loved how it turned out it looks absolutely amazing! Got 3 compliments on it already from family!
This came out adorable. I asked to insert the ball from a separate picture and they did it perfectly. This is my second purchase and I’m thrilled with both.
Ordering my custom painting was easy, and it turned out beautiful! I am definitely going to get another !
Love this new wall decoration😍

These gifts were perfect!
Birthday present for a family member.

My husband said it’s the best present he ever received!!
Absolutely loved it, came within a couple days also. Great experience all round !!
My friends amazing furbaby, Bellin recently passed away & I wanted to do something extremely special for them as Bellin was a very special boy & quite a hero. He was badly beaten as a puppy & tethered to a fence in the backyard for the first year of his life & my friends adopted him & he became a certified therapy dog to help abused children & children battling cancer. I had this portrait made for them & it came out so beautifully. It made them cry in such a happy way when they received it. Now they will have a part of Bellin forever with them. Thank you for the beautiful photo.
I am very pleased with our picture. I liked that a proof was sent before the final was printed. Very good quality and arrived quickly.
We were very pleased with the portrait, it was for a very dear friend who just lost her special dog. She absolutely loved it.
This website is awesome! The drawer let me see my drawing before it was shipped so I could change anything I wanted. Although, I didn’t have to! It looks exactly like the picture. I will be ordering from here again!
I gave these as a gift and my friend loved them both! Thanks
What a great experience! Turn around was so quick and the quality is just ridiculously amazing. Will be using this company again. Can’t have enough dog portraits!
Absolutely love it!
Absolutely in love with our Pet Portrait of our old dog! Thank you so much, it's so perfect!
Love it!
Looks so great! Excellent quality and service. We got two portraits done of our little cavies and the paintings are so realistic! Will definitely be coming back to buy as a gift for friends!

Pat D. I was so happy with my first picture of our Grands and Great-grands that I ordered another one with our grown kids. Getting everyone together at they same time is such a hassle. You listened to what I wanted and I absolutely love the pictures. I will order again! Thank you!
