Create Your Custom Legacy Portrait
Honor your beloved companion with a personalized AI-enhanced portrait that celebrates the profound bond you shared.
At K9Hearts, we transform your cherished memories into Legacy memorial art. Your favorite photo may not be perfect—it might be older, softly focused, or taken in less-than-ideal light—but the emotion it holds is what truly matters. Every image carries a story, a bond, and a moment of love that deserves to be honored.
Preserving these moments through art is an important step in the healing process. Therapeutic-inspired memorial art allows us to gently move through grief while safeguarding the memories that remain close to our hearts.
The colors, elements, and environments used in your custom portrait are carefully selected and grounded in evidence-based research that supports emotional comfort and healthy movement through grief and loss. Nothing is chosen randomly; each visual detail is designed to feel calm, safe, and restorative.
Every portrait is created with intention and care to reflect your dog’s unique spirit and to offer a quiet space of remembrance, comfort, and connection as you continue your healing journey.

The Classic Legacy Portrait - $67
Timeless elegance capturing your dog's gentle spirit. Perfect for honoring their memory with grace and simplicity.
Why the Does the “Classic Legacy Portrait” Support Healing?
Grief often holds our memories in their most painful form. When we lose someone we love, the images that come to mind are sometimes connected to illness, age, or the moment of goodbye rather than the life and joy that came before. Research in grief-informed art therapy shows that transforming memories into gentle, comforting visual forms helps the heart reconnect to love rather than loss.
This tier is designed to support emotional regulation and remembrance through softness, warmth, and familiarity. The colors and lighting used are chosen to calm the nervous system, while natural tones and environments help restore a sense of safety and peace. Studies show that green and earth-based hues, especially those inspired by nature, promote emotional grounding and reduce stress during grief.
Your portrait is not about perfection. It is about helping your memory feel safe again.
About gently shifting the image of your dog from loss back to love, presence, and connection.
This is often the first step in healing.
The Forest Healing Portriat - $97
Nature-inspired memorial celebrating the bond you shared. Ideal for those who found peace and joy exploring the outdoors together.
Why Does The “Forest Healing Portrait” Support Healing?
Grief lives not only in the heart, but in the body and nervous system. Creative memorial art allows loss to be processed gently, helping the mind and heart maintain loving bonds while transforming painful memories into meaningful connection.
This tier is rooted in nature because natural environments are known to calm the nervous system and restore emotional balance. Forest imagery, warm light, and earth-based tones encourage grounding, reduce stress, and create a sense of safety during grief.
Being visually and emotionally connected to nature supports emotional regulation, lowers anxiety, and creates space for reflection and acceptance. When grief is held within a peaceful environment, the heart can breathe again.
Your Forest Healing Memorial is designed to reflect this process. It offers a quiet space where memory becomes presence, love remains active, and healing is allowed to unfold gently, without force or urgency.
The Creative Legacy Portrait - $197
Our most expressive tribute, celebrating your dog's unique personality. A bold artistic interpretation that honors their vibrant spirit.
How Does the Legacy Portrait Supports Healing?
Grief is not only about remembering; it is also about meaning. When loss begins to soften, many people feel a natural desire to honor the full story of the bond they shared. Creative, expressive memorial art supports this stage of grief by allowing memory to transform into legacy. Art therapy research shows that creating symbolic and personalized artwork helps people integrate loss, preserve loving bonds, and find purpose in remembrance.
This tier is more expressive because creative expression gives shape to emotions that are too complex for words alone. Studies show that when grief is given artistic form, people experience greater emotional clarity, reduced distress, and a deeper sense of connection to what remains meaningful.
Legacy-based art allows love to remain active rather than frozen in pain. Creating or receiving a tribute that reflects personality, spirit, and individuality supports what grief researchers call continuing bonds—the healthy process of staying emotionally connected while moving forward.
This tier honors your dog not only as a memory, but as a presence that shaped your life. It transforms grief into tribute, sadness into expression, and remembrance into something that can be celebrated as much as it is cherished.
Your Creative Legacy Portrait is designed to hold both love and loss together, allowing healing to unfold through beauty, meaning, and personal story.
Choose your portrait package, and then you’ll be guided to a short questionnaire that takes about 5 minutes to complete. You’ll upload your photos and share what made your dog special so your memorial can be created with care, meaning, and intention.
