Pillow Portraits

Pillow Portraits FAQs

Who are you guys?

We are Becki and Vickie.  We are two friends and moms of young children.  Our husbands each have time-demanding jobs in different fields, leaving us with plenty of time to be home with the kids and be creative in our down time.  We started making these special pillows as baby gifts for our friends.  With our husbands’ nudging and support of friends, we are now offering them to you.
How do I care for my new Pillow Portrait?
It is recommended that our pillows be "spot" cleaned only. It is recommended that you protect the fabric by using a commercial stain resistant spray. To prevent fading, avoid direct sunlight. 
What photo requirements do you have?

Please send us a high resolution photo with your order. 

Landscaped photos will look nicer on your pillow.

It should be a 3 megapixal or higher quality, with a minimum file size of 400KB.   Your photo subject should be in focus.  We will convert your photo to a sepia print.
