Let the Wedding Bells Ring

I truly love what I do. Breathing new life into my customer's treasured memories and seeing how happy they are with my work brings me great happiness and fulfilment.

January 20th of this year marked 62 years since the following wedding photo was taken. Although the groom is no longer with us, his beautiful bride brought me this photo hoping it wasn't too late to get it restored.

She was so happy with the result and began to tear up when she saw what I was able to do with it. The sun had faded their faces, but now, as she happily exclaimed, "you can see our faces again." The wedding bells are ringing once more.

Moment like this, make my day. 

What treasured memories can I breathe new life into for you?

Family Ancestry

We all have ancestors, and it is great when we can look into that past through photos. 

The following is a restoration of my customer's great-great-great-grandfather holding his firstborn son (my customer's great-great-great-uncle). This man built the family home and founded the farm that is still producing today.

Contact us to discuss ways we can help you restore a look at your family's history.

Given a Second Chance

I was recently asked to restore a photo that appeared to be beyond help.

It was one of the only photos my customer had from her childhood of her whole family together. Usually her mother or father was the one taking the picture, so her other treasured memories were incomplete.  

Luckily, my scanner was able to pick up enough details for me to breathe new life into it. I am proud to have given this faded family treasure a second chance.

From Dark to Bright

A customer brought me a photo of her grandmother that she wanted restored as a gift for her aunt.

The original was a black-and-white photo that had some discoloration. One half of the photo was very dark and made it difficult to see the woman's facial features. She also wanted the picture changed from a black-and-white into a sepia-tone instead.

I love how well the restoration turned out. It went from a dark and discolored photo to a warm and bright picture of a beautiful woman.

One of my Favorites

I have been working on a few different restorations in the studio and cannot wait to share them.

Until then, I want to share one of my favorite restorations from last year. 

This is a photo of a customer's grandfather and aunt from 1908. The original was a 16x20 photo with a cardboard backing. I had to recreate part of the little boy's hand and background, but I am very proud of how it turned out.
