AngelPics Testimonials

Experiences by actual BabyAngelPics.com Users

Some of the families we help want to share their experiences with everyone. We are happy to be able to share their feelings and experiences with you.

Our son Roin Kyle was a much loved and much wanted baby. You can only imagine our grief when he was born still. His picture was something we loved to gaze upon, but we soon realized that not everybody wanted to look at his precious little face. My best friend lead me to this site and after seeing her little boy's angel pics done I was so excited to get Ro-Ro's done as well. The pictures came back so quickly and I cried when I first saw them. Now we have his angel pictures hanging up all over our house, in both of our wallets and have mailed them out to friends and family as well. Everyone loves his angel pics and we are both so proud to finally be able to show him off the way we have always dreamed about! Thank you SO much for creating such beautiful pictures of our precious son!

Always, Roin's Parents

I sent these photos to you back in March and almost forgot they existed until recently when someone mentioned your organization on my loss board. The tears streamed down my face as I looked for the first time at my baby girl in an image of life instead of a picture of death. Thank you so much for your beautiful work!!!

What can I say about these people...they are AMAZING AND WONDERFUL!! They were able to transform a heart breaking photo of our precious baby into an image that was extremely close to how we saw him through our eyes and heart. I cannot thank you enough. I truly, deep down from inside of my soul, appreciate the service you provide for bereaved parents. Thank you again.

Thank you so much, you did a great job!!!!! So many family and friends are scared to look at his pictures even though he is the most beautiful baby I have ever seen(retouched or not). This will give me something I can show to everyone and not have to worry about how they will react. You truly made him look like the Angel that he is!!!

Thank you,
Alena

Amazing! Angel Pics is such a wonderful program. Our son died at 38 weeks of pregnancy and at that moment we did not realize how important pictures would be so we didn't take any photo. The only photos we had were taken by the hospital and one of them was taken quite sometime after he had passed away so his coloring was really bad. I didn't think that they could touch up that picture but to my amazement, they were able to and it came out perfect. Exactly how I see my angel in my mind. I cannot thank you enough.

I will always be grateful!

I wanted to thank you for the wonderful job you did on the photo of my stillborn son. It is absolutely amazing, a hundred times better than I expected... May God bless you and your amazing work.

Sincerely, M.P.

I cannot thank you enough for the photo restoration you did for my little girl... Whoever took the time to restore her pictures did a wonderful job... words could never express my appreciation, but I just had to send this letter and let you know how grateful I am...

Thanks again, T.P.

    My husband Daniel and I lost our infant son, Mark, at six months gestation. He survived but was taken off life support five hours later as his vital signs plummeted and ICU said they couldn't sustain his life; if we wanted to hold our son for the last few minutes of his life, they had to remove him from support.

    I don't need to tell any grieving parent what they are going through when they experience the loss of their baby. For us it was a nightmare, unreal, time became still, nothing else mattered. I think we held onto our son the rest of the day and into the night so we could permanently engrave his image into our memories forever. Luckily through our cloudedness, a nurse came in and took a couple polaroid photos for us. I wasn't even thinking to take my own or I feel I would have better captured how we saw him.

    Regardless, today we are thankful for the few photos given to us (as unfortunately, when you have an infant in ICU, they don't often think to take a first photo for you like they do for healthy, alive and full term babies, which is very sad). Given the trauma of his birth, he was left with many bruises and a red/purple color to much of his face. For some, it was difficult to look at and, for us, it reminded us of the pain he must of suffered and we grieved even more knowing he was so beautiful to us behind all the bruises.

    He's been gone for four years now. Sometimes when I grieve, I search infant loss sights to see what comforting and mundane materialistic thing I can purchase which might help me cover up the pain. Of course nothing does, but the other week I came across the angelpics site. I instantly began looking for the one picture I had of Mark that I liked the best but it was on a CD and I couldn't find it. I tore the entire house apart and finally by the end of the day found it and burst into tears. I was so hopeful. To restore his picture where we and others can see our son as we did was indescribable. I submitted the photo very excited. My husband was cautious. We prayed it could be done and it was.

    I cannot tell you what a beautiful job they did for our son's photo. When I first saw the picture, my heart skipped a beat, I almost lost my breath, and began to cry. For the first time, I saw my son and not the scars he had endured. His looks were not altered in any way, but the artists of this company managed to lift every mark and make his color look alive. It's the most precious gift I've been given. Now I just want it blown up and framed by them so I can include him with the rest of the family photos. Thank you SO much. I hope you know what a huge difference you have made by your kindful acts and time with this for parents.

I was not able to be there for the birth of my Granddaughter Izabel as I live a days drive from my son and his wife and she was a couple weeks early. And had no clue that she would be born still. I didn't know that the hospital would take pictures or that they let the mother bond with the baby, but I never "thankfully" had that experience either. I could hardly wait to get the photos. After all that is all that was left of her. she was cremated so there was no funeral or viewing. We were all in shock wondering what happened and why?

We are planning her memorial for later this year and I wanted a photo that I could use that didn't show her black lips and finger nails or the abrasions on her little face and body. I thought I would give AngelPics a try after reading other testimonials. They did a wonderful job on my little Izabel and now I have a photo for the memorial service. Thank You AngelPics for your caring service it really is a blessing.

I lost both of my daughters to a chromosome disorder that runs in my family. I lost the 1st one when I was a mere 16 years young, all I have had for all of these years are pics of my angel with tubes & bruises everywhere. I ran across this website on one of my friends myspace pages, and decided to give it a shot.. I forgot that I had done this till just the other day I received one of the pics in the mail.. It is of my Paige, and I barely recognized her with nothing hooked up to her and no bruises.. I am going to have this blown up into a 8x10 and hang it in my living room, I am also going to give a copy of this pic to family members that don't have anything to remember her by.. Thank you so much for the beautiful pic that you did for me.. I appreciate it so much!!! Thank You!!!!

What a blessing AngelPics has been for me. We have two living daughters who were 7 and 4 when our angel Elise Alexandra was born still at 39 weeks. The photos that the hospital took were not ones that we felt comfortable sharing with the girls ... yet they wanted and needed to see their baby sister so badly. AngelPics made that possible. I am absolutely certain that being able to see Elise and carry her picture around has aided in their grieving process, as it definitely has aided mine. We are now able to proudly share the most precious angel we will ever know with our friends and family. "Thank you" doesn't even come close to expressing the gratitude that we feel to AngelPics and the compassionate people who are making this possible for those of us suffering from such a heartbreaking loss...but THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!

Sara and family.

When we received our son Mason's angel pic in the mail, it brought me to tears. I had always tried to imagine what he would look like without the trauma. WOW... is all I can say for your work. Just simply amazing and thank you caring. Mason's URL is www.mason-passmore.memory-of.com

Feel free to look at his site and see what wonderful work they do.

I cannot express my gratitude for this incredible service! My son was stillborn at full term, and because we were in so much shock, we didn't think to take many pictures. Fortunately, the hospital photographer took one of our precious boy, but it showed all his bruising and so on. As his parents, our love for him allowed us to see through all that, but we soon realized that it was difficult for others to look at him, and that saddened us. Now, we have his beautiful re-touched photo hanging proudly on our wall for everyone to see. Thank you so very much for making it possible for us to share our beloved son with our friends and family. I know there are (unfortunately) many families out there who I am sure would love to know about this service, so I will be spreading the word about your wonderful work!

Again, a thousand thank you for your kindness and generosity! You are truly making a difference for the parents of angel babies!

Pax vobiscum = Peace be with you

I never would have imagined that the picture of my son would turn out as good as it did. He was born at only 27 weeks, but those 27 weeks were the happiest days of my life. I am proud of my son, and now I can frame my picture for all of my family and friends to see without being conscious. thank you so much for making such a beautiful baby boy look so peaceful without all of the birthing bruises. you all are angels yourself for making this website and I would recommend you to anyone. I just cant think you enough. When I seen the pictures only a few days after I sent them in, I cried tears of joy, I never thought in a million years they would come out so absolutely perfect.

Thank you so much!

Bless you, AngelPics. I am sitting here crying again, though I thought most of the tears had gone. Thank you for giving us pictures of our precious baby that we can treasure for years to come as we wait to be reunited with him once more. Thank you so very much, from the depths of my heart.

I am so grateful for the service provided by AngelPics. At the time of my son's birth, I wasn't thinking about pictures for the future. AngelPics was able to delete some unwanted background objects from the photograph, change my hospital gown into a more fitting backdrop, change the standard-issue hospital blanket into something more appealing, and even out my son's skin tones. I will proudly display this photograph of my son. Thank you to all of the wonderful people who worked on my son's picture. I cannot express how thankful I am that a company such as yours exists to provide this service to bereaved parents. You are all truly amazing!

Sincerely,

Thank you so very much for the beautiful photos of our daughter Lily. The nurse who was responsible for taking the photos for us (while I was in surgery) waited two hours to take her pictures and by the time she did Lily had started to peel and blister. When I recovered from surgery I was shocked to see her photos as when I saw her she was perfect. Thank you for restoring her memory for us.
