Some gifts go beyond the moment. For Sarah, a mother from Manchester, the portrait she ordered became more than a picture—it became the only photograph where her late mother, herself, and her young daughter could finally stand together in a family photo merge portrait.
“I Wanted My Daughter to Know Her Grandma”
Sarah’s mother passed away before her daughter was born. While there were many family snapshots, there was no single photograph of all three generations together. “It broke my heart knowing my daughter would never have that photo with her grandma,” Sarah shared.
Turning Memories into a Portrait
She sent us three images—one of her mum from the 1990s, one of herself, and one of her daughter taken recently. Our artists carefully brought them together in a natural way, paying attention to expressions, lighting, and fine details so the result looked real.
The Reveal
When Sarah saw the preview, she said she cried instantly. “It looked like we had all stood together for the photo. I asked for one small tweak, which they changed straight away. The whole process was so thoughtful.”
More Than Just a Photo
The finished portrait arrived the next day and now hangs in Sarah’s living room. For her daughter, it means having a photograph with her grandmother that otherwise would never have existed. “It’s the most precious gift I’ve ever received,” Sarah said.
