We breathe new life into treasured memories.
Holiday photos remind of us great times, and become even more important when those in them are no longer with us.
This little gem, from 1981, was discolored and washed out. After a little time in the studio, it looks as good as new.
We have gift certificates available. They can be purchased every Saturday at the Monroe Farmers Market from 7am-Noon.

Today would have been my grandmother's birthday. She is celebrating in Heaven now, but at least she is with my grandfather.
I have several photos from various birthdays, but I loved the smile in this one taken during the late 1970s.
We would love to restore a treasured memory for you.

My mother's cousin recently sent me some photos of their grandfather, my great-grandfather. The following pictures are from the late 1910s and 1920s.
The first is a photo of him in his Word War I uniform. It was taken before he shipped off to Europe.
The rest of the photos are of Monroe Steel Castings, where he was employed after the war.
Although the castings plant is no longer around, it is fun to get a peek at life from 100 years ago.

Purple Penguin Studio is here to help with all of your photo manipulation needs, including:
Restoration
Let us breathe new life into your precious memories. We can repair cracks, tears, scratches, and splotches. Colorcasts can be removed. Fading can be reversed. In some cases, even photos with water damage can be either fully or partially restored.
Resizing
Perhaps you want a small photograph upsized to a 5x7 or 8x10. Or, maybe you want a photo reduced to put in a locket, charm, keychain, or ornament. We can upsize and downsize images to meet your needs.
Retouching
Sometimes we capture a moment that needs just a little help. The colors may need correcting or enhancing. Other times the shadows or highlights are too strong. In some cases, the photo is great except for some facial blemishes. We can touch up your photos to make them even better.
Digitization
We can scan your photos for electronic backup and storage.
Examples
Below are just a few examples of what we can do.

Sorry it has been so long since I have shared anything, but my kidney issues have made it difficult for me to spend much time in the studio....
