A true story · shared with the family’s blessing
Her mom’s smiling face,
at the kitchen window every morning
Emily wanted to give her dad something special — her mom had passed away ten years before, and she missed her every day. She sent us one favorite photo of her mother holding Buster, the family dog, and we reimagined it as a stained glass style portrait printed on real glass. It now hangs in her dad’s kitchen window, where he sees her smiling face every morning.
“I love being able to get up each morning and see Mom’s smiling face at the kitchen window, holding Buster… do you think she might be doing that now? It is his stunning creation — it is perfect.”

Frequently asked questions
How does a memorial portrait work?
You choose a size and order. After checkout we email you to collect your favorite photo of the person you love. We design a stained glass style portrait from that photo, send you a digital proof to approve before anything is made, and then print it on real glass and ship it to you.
I only have an older or low-quality photo. Can you still make one?
Usually, yes. We work from the photos you have. Send us your best one and we will tell you honestly whether it will make a good portrait before you commit to anything — you approve the artwork before we make it.
Is this a good sympathy gift for someone grieving?
Yes. A memorial suncatcher is a gift they can keep in the light for years. We can email the artwork proof to you and ship the finished piece directly to them.
Can the portrait include more than one person, or a pet?
Yes. Many of our memorial pieces show someone with a beloved pet or another family member. If it is clear in the photo, we can design it into the portrait.
Is this real stained glass?
It is a stained glass style portrait. Your photo is reimagined as a stained-glass-style design and printed on real glass, then sealed and hand-finished. It catches the light like traditional stained glass without the fragility or cost of leaded glass.
What sizes and prices are available?
Five sizes, from 3 inches to 15 inches, ranging from $135 to $253. The 10 inch is our most popular size and fills a window beautifully.
How long does it take?
We ship within one to two weeks after you approve your proof. The overall timing depends a little on how quickly you send your photo and approve the design.
Where are they made?
Designed and made by my wife and I in Chico, California. Each piece is printed on real glass and hand-finished — not mass produced.
