Danielle is very gifted! The amount of detail she can get is amazing. The portrait she made looks exactly like our dog. It’s very meaningful to have. She is professional and communicates throughout the project. She even mailed this out of Christmas Eve. I loved working with Danielle and am thankful for the service she offers!
