This customer's photo of her parents was badly faded and becoming discolored.
A little time in the studio has changed this photo from wash out to wonderful.

A customer brought her father's engagement photo to be restored. It was fading and had numerous cracks.
The biggest challenge, however, is that it had been torn into two large pieces along with lots of other small bits. The tear runs straight through the head.
His left ear was almost completely lost. Luckily, I had two other portraits of him that were also being restored. These photos were in much better shape.
After re-attaching the top of his head, I was able to copy his ear from one of the other portraits and "paste" it into the engagement photo to replace what was missing.
His photo went from pieces to a complete portrait.

During my last restoration project, I had three different headshots of my customer's father.
The first was a large 16x20 photo of him that was torn in half, right through his head. There were lots of other bits and pieces from the picture's background.

The second photo was a photo of him on the back of a small mirror. Other than some fading and cracks, it wasn't in too bad of shape. The mirror was in pretty good condition also.
The third photo, I saved a few stills at various stages of the restoration process. The following is a video I created that shows the progression from start to finish. The before and after photos are below the video.

To some, 1995 doesn't seem like it is too long ago. However, 26 years can take a toll on a family's precious memories.
Because the photo was printed from a film camera, one would need the original negative and a developing studio to get another copy. It isn't a digital photo that can be printed over and over.
There wasn't a lot wrong with this photo other than some fading and a slight colorcast.
After a little time in the studio, it has been digitized and restored to its former glory. It will last for many generations to come.
Let us breathe new life into your family's treasured memories.

This restoration was a challenge and absolute joy to work on.
The newborn, hospital photo is 53 years old and had been "attached" to a ceramic plate. It is the only copy of the photo she had. The plate broke.
When she brought it to me, it was carefully wrapped up in two microfiber towels.
As you can see, age and the ceramic plate both took a toll on the photo. There were a lot of scratches and pits, but most of the outline and details were still there.
After much time in the studio, I was able to breathe new life into this treasured memory.
When my customer came to pick it up, she told me she was so happy she could cry. That brought tears of joy to my eyes and heart. I love what I do; it is my passion and joy.

Christmas is a magical time, and it's a shame if we let those memories fade away. They become even more important when they include loved ones that are no longer with us.
After some time in the Studio, we were able to rescue this magical moment from the early 1970s.
Time doesn't stand still, but with a little assistance, we can make sure the memories last a lifetime and beyond.
What treasured memories can we breathe new life into for you?

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....
