“After we had admired her art for some time, my husband commissioned Kristin to draw our sons’ portraits. Kristin used separate photos of the boys to seamlessly merge two special memories together. We were immediately in awe of the attention to detail. Every hair on their heads is perfectly placed. The saying that the days are long but the years are short is so true. As our boys get a little older each day, we are so grateful to Kristin for capturing the essence of our boys during their toddler years.”
