Customer Reviews
Experience was awesome and seemed effortlessly from a customer viewpoint James athmann captured our pets image and we are greatly satisfied with his work thanks
- John SPet Pro's Response:
Everything went great, John gave me a great photo to work with! John is giving portrait as a gift. Hope they enjoy it as much as I enjoyed creating it.
- James AthmannThe portrait is delightful! I can’t wait to gift it to my son and daughter in law! James stayed in close communication throughout the project and answered all my questions.
- Leslie LJames Athmann has been a treat in two ways! His work is absolutely amazing with every detail captured but he has also been a pleasure to work with. He started the project as he said he would and sent me updated photos as he went through the process. For me, getting to see the process in stages was another treat in itself. I will be using him again.
- Marla WJames' work is beautiful - so accurate and detailed. His communication was excellent as well, with progress check-in's and prompt responses. Highly recommend!
