Looking for an image of both myself and my baby girl with my late father who unfortunately passed before meeting my first child. Really pleased with what’s been created. Thank you

I am thrilled at how this turned out. My photo was at an odd angle and not great. Amazing job. Had just a couple of photos with us together. Life gets busy and you forget how precious these memories are. Thank you for creating this memory for me. I will cherish it always.

A memorial portrait of you and the person you miss
Heaven Hugs makes a memorial portrait of you together with a loved one who has passed away. You upload a photo of yourself and a photo of them (and more family if you like, up to six people), and we bring you together in a single portrait, side by side, as if the photo had always existed.
It is the photo you never got to take. The grandparent who never held the new baby. The dad who did not make it to the wedding. The brother who should be standing right there in the picture.
How does it work?
- Choose a style. Pick the look that feels most like the two of you.
- Upload your photos. One of you, one of them, and anyone else you want in it, up to six people. A phone photo is perfect.
- See your free preview. Your portrait appears in about a minute, with no card and no account. If it is not quite right, try another photo or another style, free.
You only pay when you love it. Then keep it as an instant digital download, or order a canvas, framed canvas or framed print, delivered free and ready to hang.
Who is a memorial portrait for?
Anyone you miss. People make portraits with Mum or Dad, a grandmother or grandfather, a husband, wife or partner, a brother or sister, a child, or a close friend. You can also add more people, up to six in one portrait, so a whole family can be together in the same frame.
Many people order one for themselves. Others give it as a gift to someone who is grieving, or for a birthday, an anniversary or a Christmas that will feel empty without them.
Can I add a loved one to a photo if I only have an old picture?
Yes. Old prints, scanned photos, faded colour and black and white all work. If their face is clear, we can bring them into the portrait beside you. A group photo is fine too: you choose who to include. Read our guide to choosing the best photos if you are unsure which one to use.
Which style should I choose?
- Together Forever: a timeless black and white portrait, side by side.
- Together in Heaven: the two of you in soft golden light, wrapped in the clouds.
- The Heirloom: a black and white oil painting style, made to hang for generations.
- The Bond: warm, true colour, the two of you exactly as you were.
- Christmas Together: Christmas Day by the tree, in cosy jumpers, together again.
Every portrait is made with AI from your photos. Printed portraits are museum quality and delivery is always free. See pricing for every size and finish.

Questions, answered.
The questions most people ask before their first portrait.
If you have any other questions, please don't hesitate to reach out at hello@heavenhugs.com. Our team responds within 24 hours.
Yes. Upload your photos (up to six people) and you'll see your portrait before paying anything. No card, no account required.
Absolutely. Old prints, scanned photos, black and white, a photo from decades ago. If their face is clear, we can bring them into the portrait beside you. Upload it and see for yourself.
Yes. Heaven Hugs is built to keep what makes each of you who you are: your faces, your features, your smiles. A clear, well-lit, front-facing photo of each person works best. If the first result feels off, try a different photo, free.
You see your portrait before you pay a single cent. No account, no card. If it's not right, try another style or another photo, completely free. You only pay when you love it.
One clear face in each photo, looking roughly toward the camera, with nothing covering it. Phone photos are perfect. Avoid very blurry or very dark photos and sunglasses. The better the photos, the better the portrait.
Yes. Once you've seen your portrait and love it, you can order a canvas or a framed print. Both are museum-quality prints, shipped free to your door, ready to hang, and include your digital portrait at no extra cost.
Canvas prints come in three sizes: Small 12×18" (30×45 cm), Medium 16×24" (40×60 cm) and Large 24×36" (60×90 cm). All three come unframed, or framed in black or oak. Framed prints come in the same three sizes, in oak, black or white frames. Both arrive ready to hang, no assembly required.
Digital portraits are A$39. Canvases start from A$147 and framed canvases from A$227, with free shipping. Every canvas includes the digital portrait free.
Digital portraits are emailed to you straight after checkout. For canvases, allow 2 to 3 business days for printing, then 4 to 9 business days for delivery. Most customers in Australia, the USA and the UK receive theirs within 7 to 10 business days. Shipping is always free, and you'll get a tracking email when it's on its way.
Yes. Heaven Hugs portraits are created with artificial intelligence from the photos you upload. Styles like The Heirloom have a painted look, but they are not painted by hand. Because AI art is an interpretation, results depend on your photos, which is why you always see a free preview first and can try another photo or style at no cost.
Yes. After your first photos, tap "Add another person" on your side or "Add another loved one" on theirs, and upload each person's own photo. A portrait can hold up to six people, so you can bring both parents, grandparents, brothers, sisters or children together in one portrait.
Yes. If the clearest photo of your loved one is a group photo, upload it and we will ask you who to include. Choose the photo where their face is clearest, looking roughly toward the camera. Please do not upload one of your Heaven Hugs previews to add people; use each person's original photo instead.
Yes. Your photos are sent to our AI provider only to create your portrait. We do not use them for anything else, never show them publicly and never sell them. Previews you do not buy, and their photos, are deleted after 3 days. Purchased portraits are kept for 12 months for downloads and reprints, and we will delete them sooner if you ask.
A digital portrait is emailed straight after checkout, so it is ready the same day to print locally or add to a slideshow. Canvases and framed prints take 2 to 3 business days to print, then usually 4 to 9 business days to arrive. Around Christmas, Mother's Day and Father's Day it can take a little longer, so please order early.
Yes. Many people give a portrait to someone who is grieving. You will need a clear photo of the person you are giving it to and one of their loved one, and you can see the preview free before buying. Every canvas and framed portrait arrives ready to hang and includes the digital file at no extra cost.
