Photo Restoration

There Are Photos.
And Then There Are Keepsakes.

We all have them, the photographs that spent too many summers in the attic, or maybe it was the basement. Edges softened by time. Faces dimmed by the dust that settled year after year, without permission.

Or worse, the stains from water that crept in during the night, or the photo chewed by fire and smoke. It seems rather final…until it isn't.

The Work We Do

Carefully
Returned to
What Once Was.

Sometimes we carefully return a photo to what once was, removing the scratches, the fading, the quiet erosion of the decades. Erasing staining, bringing back contrast, detail, and the subtle expressions you forgot were there.

Other times, we rewrite a moment to reflect the version of the story you meant to keep. Yes, the former boyfriend in the Thanksgiving photo can be removed, restoring your family to its rightful place on the wall.

Example of Heavy Damage

1. Bring us your damaged photo.
We are able to repair most photos. Tears, spots, and creases are common damages. If you're unsure whether yours can be restored, bring it in — we'll take a look.
2. We inspect the photograph.
We'll evaluate the extent of the damage. The extent of the damage determines the cost and the timeframe in which the restoration can be completed.
3. Your photograph is repaired.
Once we've discussed the level of damage and timeframe, we put your order through and our experts digitally repair your photo with care and precision.
4. We deliver the restored photo.
We print an 8×10 (or a smaller size of your choice) and deliver a digital file of your restored photo. With the digital file you can order additional prints whenever you like.
