Our Story
Keepsakes started in the most honest way possible—by accident!
One day, I was experimenting with my 3D printer, and I had this thought: What if I could capture a moment from a picture? So I tried it with a photo of my own dog. When it came out, it surprised me—not because it was flashy, but because it felt familiar. It had presence. It felt like the moment wasn’t stuck in a frame anymore. And honestly, it was fun. So I did another one, and another, and I realized something: I was good at it.
I started showing pieces to people and getting the kind of reaction that’s hard to fake: “That’s incredible.” Compliments turned into questions. Questions turned into requests. And eventually I had the thought that changed everything—if people around me want this, who else would?
That’s where Keepsakes came from.
Photos can freeze a moment, but they don’t always hold the full personality inside it. What I care about is the stance, the expression, the attitude—the “that’s so them” energy you recognize instantly. Bringing that into a three-dimensional form lets those cues show up the way they do in real life: in space, with depth, with presence.
That’s the reason this exists. Not to be fancy. Not to be trendy. Just to take a moment you already love and give it a kind of closeness a photo can’t always deliver.
Keepsakes is for anyone who’s ever loved a pet and wants to keep that feeling close. Sometimes that’s about celebrating them right now—the personality, the routines, the little moments that make your home feel like home. Sometimes it’s about holding onto those same details after they’re gone.
Either way, it starts in the same place: recognition. If you’ve ever looked at a photo and thought, “That is so them,” you already understand what I’m trying to bring to life.
And that’s exactly who I built Keepsakes for.
