About Applause! Applause!

Meet Pam and Rod Reynolds and Pam’s sister Jacqueline Peters

We formed Applause! Applause! in 2006 after the passing of our father when we searched for a service that would provide lasting memories in a memorial tribute. The process we went through gave birth to our mission to create more awareness of the importance of gratitude in our everyday lives. So many grieve the loss of a loved one and never made the time to express their gratitude for the gifts that person had given them. We believe our society needs to take the time to reflect on the loved ones who have given their time and love to make us better people. We wanted to provide a way to express this gratitude by honoring them in some way while they are alive so we created our company, Applause! Applause!

We hope you find the products and services on our website that will help you create a photo tribute to commemorate a loved one, a cherished pet or a special moment. After going through the process ourselves and helping hundreds of other people just like you, we can make this process easier and create a memorial or celebration tribute that keeps your loved one’s memory alive for future generations.

Hear what others are saying about Applause! Applause!

     "Over my lifetime I’ve received many awards and wall plaques but never a lasting “tribute” like the one I received from Applause! Applause!. I was presented with a one-of-a-kind piece of artwork that has the warmth of a very personal, hand-made gift but the professional appearance of a fine piece of framed art. I was literally overcome with emotion when I read the descriptive words on my tribute that other people had used to describe me! And I was literally brought to tears when I read the beautiful statement under my picture which captured in elegant prose that which I had devoted my life to over the past 15 years. My tribute hangs in my home office as a warm yet elegant reminder of a defined period in my life that I will always remember with pride and deep affection.
     I recently had the opportunity to visit Pam Reynolds’ studio and view tributes that had been created for other people. What struck me immediately was how each tribute told such a wonderful and compelling visual “story” about each person pictured. Even though I didn’t know most of the people who were honored, the combination of words, pictures, graphics and scenery were uniquely captivating and so incredibly personal. You were able to learn so much about each person with just a moment’s glance and their "stories” were just amazing!
