A Little Touch-Up

Not all of the photos I work on need a lot of restoration work. Some need a little touch-up and to be resized to meet today's print sizes.

This is one such photo. I did a little color correction and resized it to print as a 4x6.

Glad to be back!

It feels great to be back in the studio after my recent health event.

I am working hard to get caught up on previously accepted projects, and get estimates sent out for newly submitted photos.

Although this isn't a recent restoration, it is one for which I am very proud. It is a photo of my grandmother as a young child. I wish I knew where this photo was taken and who the other girl is in it with her. Unfortunately, there aren't any family members from that generation still with us to help solve the mystery.

I may not know the story that goes along with this photo, but I get a chance to see what she looked like as a youngster. It also tells me from where my youngest son got his shy smile.

The Studio is Hopping

The studio has been hopping. I'm working on eight (8) restorations, three (3) retouches, and five (5) custom photo keychains. 

This makes my heart very happy and grateful.

Here is a sneak peek at one of the restorations that I am working on.

It has a reddish colorcast, is washed out in places, and has a few scratches in places. I can't wait to post the finished product.

Happy Birthday Mom!

This isn't a new restoration, but it is very special to me. 

Today is my mother's birthday, and the first little girl (from the left) is her as a baby. Also pictured are three of her 10 siblings. 

As you can see, restoring family treasures is not only a passion, but very personal for me. It was preserving my own family's history that started it all.

Please join me in wishing my mom the happiest of birthdays.

It was my honor

To say it has been busy in the studio would be an understatement, but it still fills me with great joy.

As you can see, time and the sun wreaked havoc on this photo of my client's son. Now deceased, she wished to have the photo restored and copies made for her other sons so they have something with which to remember him.

Having a brother who also served in the Marine Corps, made this restoration an honor and privilege to work on. Semper Fi, oorah!
