Super smooth transaction, and a great product that my Father loved. My family now want many more! Will definitely be using this company again. The canvas was strong, the painting was packed well and the artist managed to remove the glare off my mum glasses!

To start out, this whole experience of getting the portrait together, and the constant communication with the staff was amazing. They are with you every step of the way with all the changes that you may want or additions that you may want on your portrait with no issues and no problems. I had a great experience . I will definitely be ordering more portraits. The following video that I sent is a video that my daughter-in-law took of My Son getting his portrait and he wasn’t expecting it and I know why he got emotional. The song you are, my sunshine is a memory that My Son has of me always singing this song to him since he was little to whenever I would put him to sleep so towards the end, when he realized what was written on it, he became very sentimental. I also sing that song to my grandson, which is his junior, so it’s very special for me. For me, I loved his reaction and I knew that once he saw the writing he was going to get emotional. Thank you, to the owner of Welham & Co who created this idea and executed it perfectly, especially with the workmanship as well as the customer service and the dedication to make sure that the customer is happy with their product. I am eternally grateful it turned out perfectly thank you again to everyone that helped me through this process.

I LOVE IT! After loosing my father in law 16 months ago & finally falling pregnant after 2 years, he never got to meet our son. This made it a reality. For my husbands 1sts Father’s Day, I surprised him with this. For a man that doesn’t share emotions often, a tear was had! Thank you again!

Wishing your family continued love and connection, Anna @ Welham & Co
Today's Father's day 15th June, We gave the portrait to my father in law. As I watch him looking at it, I asked him if he likes it, he said " I love it". He got so excited and looked for a place on the wall where we will hang it. Thank you, this portrait gave our family the opportunity to create this unforgettable memory. I know he will be looking at it lovingly everyday. From the ordering, approving portrait, to shipment received, you guys deserves more than 5 stars.
Store owner replied: Hi Melanie, Thank you so much for sharing this beautiful moment with us.

I am absolutely overjoyed with this beautiful creation! I had requested it to arrive before Mother’s Day (11th May 2025), and it was delivered promptly on Friday, 9th May — perfect timing. The quality of the photo, the warmth it captures, and the overall presentation exceeded all my expectations. This wasn’t just a gift — it was a deeply meaningful tribute to my mother-in-law, who recently lost her son. Seeing her reaction when she received it was priceless. It brought tears, smiles, and a feeling of closeness that words can’t fully describe. Thank you for helping me give her the perfect gift — one that she’ll treasure forever. I will absolutely be ordering again. You’ve created something truly special.

My mom passed away March 15 2021 and my grand daughter was born March 27 2021 so I wanted a picture of my parents and their great granddaughter portraying the 12 days they were together in heaven.

The portrait was everything I wanted and then some. It was 4 different photos with the young boy being upside down in the photo I sent. They managed to create a beautiful portrait out of it. It took longer then I hoped to get it finalized but over all the wait was worth it for sure! I would recommend Welham&co to anyone. It was more affordable than other competitors! -Dominique

My partner lost his mother 5 years ago at the age of 18 and his grandfather who was his father figure since the age of 3. Me and my partner had our son two month after his grandfather passed away and my partner wanted him to meet our boy. I brought this custom portrait as a Christmas gift for him and to have all his favourite people in one picture together, He was in tears when he saw it. It means the absolute world to both of us. We appreciate the work Welham&Co put into making these amazing products. My son will also look at this portrait for years to come and he will know who his grandmother and great father are. Thank you again - Katie, Gordon and little Illuka
He loves it
It turned out better than I could have ever imagined. Such a special gift.
My mom loved it.
The picture looks great. I’m extremely happy with that but the bottom of my photo was supposed to have his name and birth date and death date on bottom but it wasn’t
This picture was the best gift anyone could give . Two precious moments brought together for one emotional experience.
Store owner replied: Hi Brandy, Thank you so much for sharing such a heartfelt review. We’re incredibly honored that we could help bring two precious moments together in such a meaningful way.
