Pro Photo Restoration

Your family’s photos are treasured memories that deserve the best! Don’t risk losing your precious originals by mailing them off to one of those faceless big box places. We restore faded or damaged pictures with our professional photo restoration services, and with a personal touch that you won’t find anywhere else.

First, we carefully scan your original photo, then we digitally repair cracks, tears, stains, and other defects. Often, even faded colors can be restored to their original beauty. Your treasured photo will be returned in its original condition, once the work has been completed.

We can also convert a faded image to true black and white, or reproduce an old-fashioned sepia tone. It is also possible to modify an image by adding or removing people, or distracting objects from a scene, or even change the background entirely.

Because we do all our restoration work in-house and your original materials never leave our shop, you can be sure that your precious photos will be safe.

Since each restoration is unique, we will need to evaluate your original and discuss your available options as to the size and type of reproduction you might want, and the best way to proceed.
