The Studio is Busy

The studio has been very busy lately and I could not be happier. I love what I do. 

Unfortunately, I cannot share the most recent restorations as they are gifts that have yet to be given.

Instead, I am going to share one of my favorite photos of my in-laws. 

Thanks to the invention of the camera, we can get a glimpse of precious moments from the past. In this instance, the start of my husband's family. 

We'll be at the Monroe Farmers Market tomorrow from 7am-noon. Bring your family's treasured memories with you when you come to market, and we can talk about breathing new life into them.

Print Size Matters

The studio has been hopping with photo restorations and custom photo necklaces and keychains.

Until I am able to share some of our restorations, I wanted to remind everyone that the print size you choose for your photos does matter.

Not all print sizes are the same.

Photos can be printed at a variety of sizes such as 4x6, 5x7, and 8x10. Many can be formatted to be printed in landscape (longest side along top and bottom), or portrait (longest side along left and right) mode.

The ability to print at these sizes and modes depends on the size of the original file. 

A common misconception is that photos can be printed exactly the same as a 4x6, 5x7, and 8x10. 

There are, however, slight differences among the print sizes.  

The following graphic shows the same image as it was cropped as an 8x10, 5x7, and 4x6. 

The 8x10 photo contains everything from the original photo. As the photo size gets smaller, less of the window and cabinets are visible.

Unless told otherwise, our restoration experts try to keep as much of the original image as possible when we print the same photo in multiple sizes.

What can our experts do for you?

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.

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

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.

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