Our Story

Meet the Family

We’re a small family with a big love for our dogs — and that love is the whole reason Pet Pic Portraits exists. Real people, real pets, behind every portrait we make.

Mercy, the heart of Pet Pic Portraits, holding one of her dogs

Mercy — the heart of it all

Our mom, Mercy, has loved dogs her whole life — to her they’ve always been family, never just pets. She’s the heart behind Pet Pic Portraits: she wanted every pet parent to be able to keep a beautiful piece of the pet they love.

To this day she looks over every single order herself before it ships — making sure each portrait truly captures the pet behind it.

Mia, the Shih Tzu Poodle and baby of the family

Mia — the baby of the family

Mia joined us last December — our Shih Tzu Poodle and the baby of the family. Where Yogi is calm, Mia is all energy: the young, spirited little sister who keeps everyone on their toes. Of course, she had to have a portrait of her own.

The Family Ordered These First

From our founderMiabelle's custom pet portrait
After I ordered Yogi's portrait — my 11-year-old Shih Tzu Terrier — I knew I had to do one for my baby girl too. Miabelle is my Shih-Poo who's now seven months old. She was only about four months when I created her Royal Princess portrait, and I was so impressed with how it came…

From our founderYogilove's custom pet portrait
Yogi is my little prince — and honestly, he's the reason Pet Pic Portraits exists. I started dabbling with AI to see if I could actually turn my dog's photo into something that looked like real art. To my surprise, it came out incredible. Better than I ever expected. When I saw…
