5 out of 5 starsLaura is a rockstar; she’s so very talented and has truly honed her craft! Not only did she produce beautiful piece of artwork (compiled from a few different photos and ideas) but she beat her promised delivery deadline by a few days for the holidays. Was such a pleasure working with her A++++

5 out of 5 starsAlthough this was supposed to be done after the holidays, the artist had it ready in a few days. The service is IMPECCABLE and the work is amazing and unique. She communicated within seconds and made my dreams come true. I am so happy!!!!

5 out of 5 starsWorking with DiarySketches was such a wonderful experience. Laura is so talented, has great communication and worked very fast under my crazy deadline! The end product is AMAZING. The detail is like no other and everyone I have shown wants to have one done too! You will not be disappointed and I strongly urge you to have an Illustration done if you're thinking about it! I would have given her 10 stars if possible. A+++++

5 out of 5 starsThe whole experience was so fantastic and I am beyond happy with the portrait. Laura was very responsive and answered any questions I had, she took the time to break down the process and the next steps. Especially with a precious item like this, the care Laura gave to our portrait is truly appreciated.
