Grandma & Grandpa's House

The studio is busier than ever and I couldn't be happier. I truly love breathing new life into family treasures.

There is a special bond between grandparent and grandchild, and I love when I can keep precious memories alive. 

Instead of fading, this photo became darker and less defined. I learned a few new tricks in Photoshop that helped me bring out more of the details and brighten it up. 

You can now see the dog and other boy in the background that were somewhat hidden before.

I am currently booked up through the end of this year, but am accepting photos for restoration completion in January of 2023.

Thank you does not express how grateful I am to everyone that has trusted me to breathe new life into their family's treasured memories.

It's all in the family

My customer was getting married at the end of October. Both of her parents are gone, so she wanted to have their wedding photo at the happy event.

The original photo was a 5x7, but she wanted it enlarged to an 8x10. In addition to upsizing it, there was fading, discoloration, and yellow spots all over it.

Both my customer and I love how this restoration turned out. This is what real joy feels like.

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

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?
