🐾 Every pet has a story... and every portrait tells one.

Whether it's a gentle soul like Theo, a cheeky character like Charlie, or that perfect smile that makes you laugh every day, I love creating personalised laser engraved slate portraits that capture what makes each pet so special.

Each portrait is individually created from your own favourite photograph and carefully engraved onto natural slate, creating a unique keepsake for your home or a thoughtful gift for someone special.

🐶 Dogs
🐱 Cats
🐴 Horses
🐾 ...and other much-loved pets are all welcome.

Whether you're celebrating a new family member, remembering a faithful companion, or simply want to turn a favourite photograph into something special, I'd be delighted to help.

Feel free to send me a message with your photo for a friendly, no-obligation chat.
