Our Story

Keepsakes for the paws you’ll always keep close.

It started with two designers, two dogs, and a love for meaningful keepsakes.

Paws & Keeps began as a small creative hobby between us — a couple of designers who wanted to turn our favorite pet photos into something more personal than a picture on a phone.

Our two dogs have always been part of our daily life: sleeping under our desks, joining our quiet mornings, and reminding us that the smallest moments often become the memories we love most.

So we started creating custom pet portraits and keepsakes for our own home. Then for family. Then for friends. Before long, every piece came with a story — a birthday, a rescue anniversary, a memorial, or simply a pet parent wanting to celebrate the companion they love.

Today, Paws & Keeps is our small business built around one simple belief:

Pets are not just pets. They are family.

Every keepsake we create is made to feel personal, warm, and lasting — something you can display, gift, or hold close for years to come.
